I rarely submit hotel reviews. If things are fine, no review. If exceptionally good or bad, I consider reviewing. First, the staff at this location at both checkin and checkout were welcoming, friendly, responsive, helpful, and knowledgeable. The problem with this property is it appears to be a licensed Marriott property that they care nothing about. How else to explain the horrid condition of the property? Walked into the room and it stunk of mildew. So-called gym is less equipped than a home gym, and tiny. Bar: open for 2 hours total (no food). Smoke detector in our room started flashing green dot (uh-oh) which then progressed to flashing white light all night - no sleep! Room may or may not have been clean - it was hard to tell because of the dark painted walls and dark patterned carpeting; hard to tell. If Marriott was checking on their properties, and they let them fall into this shape, then reach your own conclusion about the brand. I have switched long ago to the various competitors after experiencing these types of problems in several of their properties. Staff warned us that it was probably not safe to walk around after night (THANK YOU), which was confirmed by the blue-flashing-light police camera stationed across the street. This is not the hotel's fault, but travelers can consider if this is a problem for them. We walked to a very nice restaurant nearby before it got dark - no problems.
