Our memorial weekend stay

Our stay was very wonderful! Front desk was nice upon greeting and checking in and out we had zero issues, and we basically had the pool and hot tub all to ourselves which was really nice as well, the room was nice and clean the bed however is very firm but still comfy but definitely would stay again!!

Unprofessional

My stay started rocky and quickly declined. When I arrived, I stood at the counter for 10 minutes while the receptionist sat in the office on her cell phone. I later found out she was the supervisor, who also had a guest inside of the office after 10 PM. When I checked out they double charged me incidentals and never informed me that the parking had a fee. When I called to find out about the charges, the receptionist was very rude and unprofessional, even cutting me off midsentence. Terrible experience and I will be telling everyone I know not to stay here. Completely unacceptable.

The TV remote was cumbersome & difficult to use. Elevators need to have a/c. Raven at the check in desk was efficient & polite.

I gave them a bad review because our flight was canceled and they refused to work with me on a refund I gave them. Notice before my stay and they refused to do anything for us. They could have refunded part of the stay. Never staying at any courtyard or marriot property again.

Construction misery

We have stayed here before but this time they were under construction/renovation--something not shared when we booked. We were told 8-5 construction but on the first night, they were directly overhead drilling at 6pm. It was unlivable. They should have never put us in a room directly below that. It woke me up the next morning and continued for 2 days of our 5 day stay. The other 3 days without overhead construction were fine. I would seriously consider not staying here again, even though it was very convenient to our family.

Room

Did not get the room type I paid for. I paid for a queen bed and a pull out bed. All I got was the queen so basically people had to sleep on the floor. Hotel say they were book out andI can't get the room with the right amont of bed so I got a handicap room.

The lobby and commom area have the nice contemporary design, but the room was rather dated (and small) No one was at the front desk when we arrived at around 7pm. There was no bell/phone to ring/call. Luckily, we waited for about 5-10mins for a staff to acknowledge us and looked for the front desk for us (which took and other 5-10mins). Check-in process was easy. It was a decent hotel for a one night stay but then later on in the evening it got noisy for a while. A bit disappointing as Marriott brands are usually better than this.

Unacceptable room conditions

My room had no hot water in the shower. And the room smelled like a sewer. I reported it and they said thank you for letting us know. The problems still existed to the time that I checked out.

The A/C was not functioning correctly and they even gave us another room to try that also had a poor functioning A/C. We decided to muscle through but got a terrible night sleep, which was the main reason we chose the hotel, we needed a location close to our conference for a good night sleep.
