The hotel sent an impersonal email 2 days before arrival and cancelled my reservation solely because it was made using a 3rd party to reserve a room. No explanation no reason other than i made the reservation using hotels.com and not Marriott Terrible customer service and personal skills from the hotel manager.

It's a very nice hotel although the game room isn't very guest friendly. The reason is because there's no change machine so make sure to bring quarters.
