My stay at Marriott this past weekend unfortunately started off on a very negative note and never really improved. The hotel charges $40 per day for parking, but fails to clearly disclose that the parking structure is extremely small and realistically only suitable for compact cars. Although there is a sign stating that the second level is for trucks or larger SUVs, that level was completely filled with compact vehicles. If you are driving a truck, I highly recommend finding street parking instead. Unfortunately, we didn’t realize how inadequate the structure was until it was too late. While exiting, my husband’s truck was scratched due to how narrow the exit is, making it very difficult—if not impossible—to safely maneuver a larger vehicle out of the garage. On top of the parking issues, our room was not cleaned at all throughout the entire weekend, which was extremely disappointing, especially given the expectations associated with staying at a Marriott. To make matters worse, at the end of our stay I was still charged for parking, despite the fact that I did not park my car in the structure. Overall, this stay fell far below expectations in terms of communication, service, and attention to guest experience.

Our room was not available when we checked in at 4pm as stated on the site. Front desk was not very helpful but manager walked up and offered comp parking. When I asked to be called when my room was ready I was not. I called to see if it was available because I didn’t want to drive back for no reason and I was placed on hold for a very long time with no answer which I hung up and drove to the hotel. I had dinner reservations I was late to because I didn’t get ready in time due to late check in.

The hotel is beautiful and the views were incredible, however the room was not cleaned thoroughly. The mirror in the bathroom had spots, the back of the door was really dirty, the floor was not cleaned properly. There was sticky stuff on the leather chair, the sliding glass door was not cleaned and the tracking really needs to be cleaned. Being it was our Anniversary present to ourselves, I was very upset. I normally do not like to give a bad review but this could have been a much more pleasurable say had it been a clean room. I would have complained but we were so tired and didn’t want to repack after driving from Az.
