Checked in at the lobby was given a key to a dirty room that had been used. The front desk did apologize about the inconvenience. Gave me a new room, and the sink was clogged, tub wasn’t properly cleaned. The rear of the establishment seemed to be pretty clean and neat from what I could visibly see.

This was HORRIBLE. wasn’t told there was a 50 dollar hold on card when checking in so the price you were told isn’t what you’re going to pay. Wasn’t told we had to pay 20 dollars a day just to park and I’m not done yet, why the hell do I have to pay for WiFi?! Worst experience in my life won’t do it again

Stayed there 4 nights for parents weekend and it was a mixed bag. The walls were very thin, you could hear the floor above you using the restroom. Also my bed was on the hallway wall so it was extremely loud and I didn't get any sleep. Icing on the cake was the elevators broke during Sunday checkout time so a large group of us took the stairs with our luggage and the doors were all locked and we were stuck in the stairwell. The stairwell is the fire exit so let's hope there's never a fire in the building.

The Marriott was great for Parents Weekend. Room was spacious enough for 4 people. Pool and gym looked nice (didn’t use either!) Not as close as some of the other hotels to campus but Uber/lyfts were easy to access.

Rooms were not too clean. Bathroom stall shower had slippery bottom. Staff is excellent. Restaurants and food was pricey but good We had issues with the phone not working and the toilet had an issue flushing. Great for a visit to see your child at the University.
