Very clean. The room and bathroom looked great. The bed was comfortable. Quiet.
Things were hard to find. A better place for a hair dryer is in the bathroom. It may not look minimalistic to have one mounted next to the sink, but finding a hairdryer easily is important. I couldn't find it. The lighting isn't that easy to figure out. This is a small thing, but it could be Marriott would want to know - if there's a future renovation, a different shower drain might be a good choice. It makes a loud chiming sound when water hits it.

I liked the staff - especially the bar staff - very friendly, helpful and gracious. Room attendants only cleaned on 2nd day when we left lol.... but accommodated us with towels when needed. Microwave and refrigerator in the room....
Would have preferred more dinner / breakfast / lunch time options - very limited in scope - breakfast started early and ended 10:00am - dinner room service not available. But I understand its a small town with limited resources - I was grateful for the staff who accommodated us late arrivals.... Lol - coming from a Big City - I was not expecting much. Also we took our own luggage to the room - the carts were available - again I understand with limited resources during the holidays... it was not a deal breaker...

It was clean, rather quiet.
In all the hotels I stayed in, they offered breakfast. I missed it here. The alternative was not advised in the reception. It's good to know ahead if there's breakfast or not. In the information paper you can read " breakfast served 6 am -9:30 am". There's no breakfast at all!!

It’s location, its modern decor, the color scheme, and friendly staff
The toilet leak, the mold under the entire rim of the sink ( noticed it when I sat on the toilet), the missed day of housekeeping on our fourth day, and more hooks are needed in the bathroom to hang towels.

It was conveniently located, very well maintained, and nicely maintained. I was very pleased with the quality of the room and establishment.
The evening front desk agent was less than welcoming and helpful. She was very unbecoming and seemed to not want to be bothered. Even when asked where the restroom was.

We didn’t have breakfast there. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I will be staying there again when I’m back in town. It was close by the places I needed to be at. I we like to thank the management and staff for the hospitality.
I have no complaints .

Staff were amazing, very friendly, polite and knowledgeable. Clean hotel, good location and very spacious room.
There were lots of switches for lights etc all over the room, don’t see why there was so many but this is a really minor point and should not really impact booking preference.

great staff, attended to our needs immediately, Melody and another girl, so sorry I forgot her name, she brought extra pillows and blanket. Bed/pillows were so comfortable I immediately fell asleep and woke up refreshed the next morning. Very clean. has microwave, small refrigerator, TV and free wi-fi as stated. And quiet as well for a good nights rest. Parking was safe, police station was nearby.
