Lots of additional charges that should just be built in such as parking and breakfast but the staff was friendly. The fuses in the bathroom also blew no matter if I had something plugged in or not, should probably check that out.

WiFi and tv was down our entire stay. No comps made due to their issue. The room was bland. The room I booked said city view; that view was of a side walk and another Marriott hotel; not the city. Staff was sweet and the bed and shower in the room was good. With no tv or internet for the whole stay one would think they would have offered comped parking (which was $40/day) or some kind of voucher for the inconvenience but nope.

Sebastian and Hailey at the front were excellent and made us feel welcomed. There was a woman bartender (didn’t catch her name) one night who was working very diligently and was doing an amazing job during a rush. The area shuttle was such a great accommodation especially during some chilly nights. Our king room with a sofa was perfect. All around great hotel, highly recommend.
