Unlike most Marriott hotels, this facility offers smaller rooms than normal. It is not a hotel for couples weekend getaway, more suitable for the business traveler. However, the bedding is very comfortable. Cleanliness and services are always impeccable at Marriott properties. Valet parking is pricey at $27 per day.

With so many economical hotels featuring free Internet Access, I don't know why big-chain big-bucks hotels like Mariots still charge its customers for access to the Internet. It is rediculous considering the price itself is much more expensive than small hotels.
The staffs here generally are very friendly and responsive, except some female front-desk personnels.

It would have been helpful if there had been a hotel shuttle, as it is a major business hotel. Food Prices were outrageous, no small coffee shop only a restaurant. Beds were doubles, Queen was not even offered. Handicapped room had only one bed.
Pros:
Downtown
Cons:
Bed Size
