It was clean, but the room was really small. Didn't work well for a family traveling. It was only for 1 night so we made it work. Probably wouldn't stay at this location again.
Positives: it was clean.
Negatives: It was VERY small.
Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 14 Jun 2011 rated 4 out of 10.
The hotel was ok, but we didn't sleep very well - the mattress was old and thin. The bathroom floor had hair on it. It wasn't horrible but we stayed in a Holiday Inn the next night and it was 100% more comfortable.
Positives: Location
Negatives: The mattress was dingy looking and uncomfortable and the bathrooms were small.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 25 Apr 2011 rated 9 out of 10.
Great lobby area and very nice pool and spa area.
Positives: Great lobby area and very nice pool and spa area.
Negatives: Closer proximity to Jordan Creek mall would have been preferred.

Was definitely in need of some love. The lobby has been very much updated, but not all the rooms have been. Also quite disappointed that you can't even get a free cup of coffee here! Food in the café was quite expensive, I believe $4 for a bowl of cereal and a banana is a bit much. The room wasn't quite clean, and the bed and bedding was old and ripped. Not my favorite stay.
Positives: The lobby was updated, and it was easy to get to.
Negatives: Bed was quite old and uncomfortable. Ripped mattress pad, stains on curtains and shower curtain.

Positives: We did use the hottub...it was nice.
Negatives: We thought breakfast was included, it was not.

Hard to find, room was not clean, had to call housekeeping to have them come and re-clean parts of the room. Not a good experience.
Positives: Nothing.
Negatives: Unclean, not what is expected with Marriott.
Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 12 Nov 2010 rated 6 out of 10.
A good business hotel with friendly and efficient staff. Noisy due to proximity to busy freeway.
Positives: Price.
Negatives: Location noisy and too close to freeway.
Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 11 Aug 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

Negatives: Required pass to get into the building

Positives: Great Location, nearby mall and restaurants, nice staff.
Negatives: No complaints.

This is your standard business hotel, nothing fancy. Marriott does a good job of keeping their properties clean and in good working order.
Positives: Clean and updated.
Negatives: Parking was far from the entry and it was raining.

Negatives: Kind of hard to get to.
Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 21 Feb 2010 rated 8 out of 10.
Overall, very nice place to stay for the money. Rooms and pool were good. Exercise room and computer are were good. But to have to pay for continental type breakfast is bad. I travel a lot and have not had that happen before.
Positives: Lobby and computer area were great.
Negatives: Had to pay for breakfast.
Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 21 Oct 2009 rated 7 out of 10.
Clean and pleasant. Breakfast was fair, not worth the price. Most hotels in this category provide a similar breakfast for free, and have morning papers available.
Positives: Nice clean room.
Negatives: No newspapers in restaurant, breakfast was not worth the price, would be free at many other hotels.
Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 01 Oct 2009 rated 6 out of 10.
The motel was clean and generally what we expected. We thought we would have 2 queen size beds in the room and did not. Plus we expected free continental breakfast. We noticed others that complained about the breakfast.
Positives: Pool and hot tub were great.
Negatives: We were under the impression continental breakfast was included.
Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 08 Sep 2009 rated 8 out of 10.
This is a typical room within the Marriott chain comfortable and fairly quiet the accommodations were good and the beds were very comfortable some of the best in the Marriott chain.
Positives: Even though it was an older hotel the accommodations were nice and comfortable.
Negatives: Even though they have been renovated the bath tubs should have been replaced.

We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of this hotel. Rooms were well appointed and nicely decorated. Front desk staff was efficient and friendly. Plenty of parking near the doors.
Positives: Rooms were spacious and nicely appointed.
Negatives: Free

There were shards of glass on the bathroom floor of the room I stayed in. Including the shower of which cut my foot open. When I spoke to the host at the front desk she was rude inconsiderate and simply switched my room. When I spoke to the manager the next morning he was unaware of what had happened the previous evening and simply thanked me for letting him know. In further correspondence with him (mike) he suggested that I was lying and that no glass was found. I never received an apology from anyone which was the only thing I wanted. Rooms were only made up for visual appeal as evident by the uncleaned un-swept bathroom.
Positives: Great chain of hotels this one was just a bad seed.
Negatives: Rude staff and rooms were only made up for visual appeal they not really cleaned.
