• Hot items for breakfast, great kitchenettes, nice grounds.
• Internet access was sketchy.

“The hotel feels more like an apt. Complex and has a nice clubhouse and pool. The room was nicely appointed and was well equipped for both business and vacation functions. The staff also offers evening social functions with food and drink, which goes beyond the typical and beyond their star rating.”

• Easy interstate access.
• Parking.

“The hotel staff was superb. Check in took less than a minute. Great breakfast. Clock in room was still set one hour behind proper time due to time change from previous week. I set it properly, the next day; housekeeping came in and set it another hour ahead. No big deal, I just thought it was later than it really was the following morning. Bathroom door would not close. Simple fix and they were very receptive to my comments about it. Overall, I would stay at this hotel again without question; just wish they had more parking available close to the room. If you are out late, you will have to do some walking.”

• Nothing really. It was junk.
• Filth. Ghetto area. Nasty smell in room. Deplorable.

“This hotel is not what I expected of a Marriott brand. It appears to be converted from an old set of condos or something and the room I was assigned was old and filthy. Stains on the wall, carpet, and bed. There was a pungent smell permeating the room. The bathroom had not been updated since the 80's. The door latch was broken. Because I had a ground room floor I did not feel safe, even as a man. The area was just very questionable at night. Lots of apartments in the area and the general activity that goes with that. I will not stay here again; I will not suggest that anybody else should stay here. For the 47 dollars I paid, I still feel cheated! It really was that disgusting!”

• Location and breakfast.
• A bit run down for a Marriott property.

“The hotel staff went out of their way to get me in early. However, for a Marriott property, the outside of this hotel is a bit run down. I would stay here again.”

• Nothing.
• It was an old apartment complex turned into a hotel.

“It was run down and the hotel room smelled really bad. We ended up leaving the hotel the same night we checked in and went to another hotel. ”

• The location is good and the staff is fast and friendly. They are quick in everything they do and very helpful.
• The location is hard to find and the sign is hidden behind bushes.

“The hotel is great. It is well managed with professional people. It is clean, quite and the breakfast is great. You couldn't ask for a better place to stay.”

• Great staff! Felt like home.
• Not a fan of Tempurpedic beds.

“The room was not brand-spanking new (showed a slight bit of age) but was very clean and comfortable. It almost felt like an apartment. Staff was fantastic. Highly recommended for any one that needs to be close to downtown or airport.”

• Our room had previously housed smokers, I don't care for that, however, this is not a controllable variable
