Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Our stay was okay. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The staff doesn’t bother you. The rooms are soundproof which is nice not hearing noise from nearby rooms. The issue is the past few times we’ve stayed at an AC Marriott in Arizona the hotel’s restaurant has been closed. Very inconvenient and frustrating.

Really disappointed to be told that the pool was out of use for our stay as a function was happening. Surely the hotel is being paid to hold that function while no notice/discount/upgrade was offered for the lack of amenity. We specifically chose this hotel as we had children that wanted to use the pool. Also my husband asked for a coffee in the lounge/bar area and was met with the response don’t you have it in your room. He replied he did not like it (room coffee was undrinkable!) she begrudgingly said she could do it but no decaf. Lame service and amenities.

Perfectly located, beautiful hotel! However, you should be 100% comfortable with you partner. The sliding bathroom door has a good 1" of open space between the wall and you can hear EVERYTHING.

The hotel was nice, but i wasnt told the water was gonna be out during both nights of my stay. So could not shower, brush teeth, or use the restroom. Was very confused the first night and frustrated the second night since i wasnt notified at all. That was the biggest negative, another is i paid for a lake view but it was partial since the complex on the other side blocked most of it. The hotel however was clean
