Everything was super! We stayed 3 nights, came in for work and had our 6 year old kid with us. They accommodated everything! People that work there are the nicest and so hospitable. We tried other hotels in the area, newer on Beach street but nothing like this Marriott. From room size, to bed comfort to the people that work there and the prices are very reasonable for the area.

The room was great! Cleaned, beds were comfortable and the temperature was easy to adjust. The only complaint I had was how the bathroom is spaced out to be in the room area. There’s no privacy besides the barn door so you can hear everything in the restroom. Staff was wonderful!

Hotel is in good condition though it could do with better housekeeping. We stayed for 3 nights and they only emptied the trash once. Never made the bed nor did other cleaning. Because of this, you can see little things not being taken care of such as stains on the bathroom floor. Staff at front desk were friendly.
