The rooms are very nice and comfy. The only thing I have to complain about is that the room I was in did not have a microwave, and in the morning we had a coffee pot but no coffee to brew; I only had tea bags. Other than that, the room was pretty nice.

I’ll check in the refrigerator was not working. We reported it to the front desk who said she was going to have the unit changed out while we were at dinner. It didn’t happen. The TV sets picture is fine, but the TV Guide does not show what is showing on each channel. The toilet paper supply consisted of a half a roll in the entire unit. We are Marriott rewards members for years and these experiences should not have happened. Additionally, this level of hotel should offer a complimentary breakfast.

Convenient hotel to stay at before a gate game allows hotel guests to enjoy a pregame with their friends and family. As far as the breakfast options, it could be better. Was very inconsistent, but staff was able to accommodate eventually.
