Friendly, Professional and Great Value
The hotel is in a good location in walking distance to downtown and the canal greenway. The people at reception were professional and friendly. Front desk employee Santana was both charming and helpful. The free breakfast offered plenty of options. There were also free cookies anytime.

Felt nickeled and dimed!!!
I enjoyed staying but I didn’t have any hot water coming out the shower! The warm was at best warm but the water coming out of the sink was very hot!! They came and did something but it wasn’t up to my standard of hot like the sink. And why was I charged to park? That’s a turn off for me never coming back to this property. I canceled a room around the corner because of the cheaper rate but parking was free. I shouldn’t have to pay for parking while paying to stay at a hotel. Add the price of parking into the room rates!!!! This way I don’t feel like I’m being nickel and dimed to death!!! Room was nice tho!!

Good and bad
Check in was great! We had requested rooms on the inside as opposed to the busy street side and that's exactly what we got! However, our toilet stopped flushing in the middle of the night, had to get a plunger, use the bathroom on the 1st floor. Also, no hot water in the morning for a shower.

The property was clean enough and smelled nice upon arrival. The tiles in the bathroom had separated in some areas and seemed not so clean in between. There was a hair on the towels as well. I wasn’t expecting to pay $10 for parking. I have never had to pay to park anywhere I have ever stayed. Where does that $ go? I could maybe understand if the parking was in a parking deck not attached to the hotel but this was a parking lot on the hotel property that’s not even monitored by security.

Housekeeper Is the Best!!
The check in process took about 15 minutes (there was a line since it was the Friday before Thanksgiving and location is near the college football stadium.) They were polite, punctual, and very through with explaining the amenities and how to get to our rooms. We came for the night for the Shaboozey/Ernest/Jelly Roll concert as a family of 6. Both our rooms were clean, well stocked, and comforting. The best part of the whole stay on the property was the house keeper!!! We were on the fourth floor and as soon as she saw us walking into our rooms, she greeted us, let us know her title, as well as extending the offer of help if we needed anything at all to let her know. She truly made the stay that much better just by making sure we knew she was there for whatever we may need. We made sure to leave her a wonderful tip and little note. We appreciate her, and the rest of the staff, for her wonderful hospitality and wish them the best with their futures! Will definitely recommend them and stay anytime we’re back in the area!

Lazy staff and poor conditions/amenities. Our room wasn’t ready at 5:30pm (2.5 hours after check in) bc the staff didn’t update the room cleaning in their computer system. The next morning around 7am, we were woken up by not one but two fire alarms bc the kitchen staff burned food. On the second morning, there was no hot water. Multiple people called the front desk and were told that there was nothing wrong with the water, and the reason why there was none is because the hotel was at full capacity and it was too many people showering at once. I’ll never stay at this low rate hotel again. Marriott has gone down hill anyway.
