We had a lovely week here - we did have to change rooms initially as the room given wasn’t to our standard of cleanliness - but a new room was given quickly and the staff were very apologetic. Good sized rooms, quiet and the hotel itself is in a fantastic location to walk to most of the tourist spots!

Excellent location just a few blocks north of the river near shops and restaurants, this hotel is a great choice.

The location is amazing. We stayed for 19 days, huge shout out to the Housekeeping Staff. Very professional and they do a great job. We did not hear our neighbors below or above or beside us! Overall great stay!

Google identiies this as a 5 star hotel. Out of 10 maybe... We stayed here because it was represented as a newly renoved Marriott property, and there were signs of a renovation (new bed, sink, furniture, etc.), but the building itself remains tired and in need or upgrades (see photos). Even the towels were old and thin/ frayed (see photo). The bathroom in our room (1203) was incredible small, and it had no fan so the entire room got completely fogged every time my wife or I took a shower. Positives included a fast elevator and the front desk staff were all very nice.
