Before booking this property I read reviews about construction going on in the hotel and that the noise was very disrupting. So before booking I called the hotel’s staff and asked about this, and was told construction had been completed. They lied about it as construction was in full effect during my stay, and the louse noises began as early as 7-8am. Very unfortunate that they would lie about this, as I would’ve just stayed somewhere else. Aside from that the hotel is fine. Rooms are spacious, and you’ll either get a view to the marina/downtown or to the freeway. 50/50 chance.

The stay was horrible! Half of our plugs didn’t work, the internet didn’t work, our fridge didn’t work, but they brought us a new one finally! The ice machine didn’t work! They have parking but not for a big suv, didn’t say that when I booked so I had to park across the street and pay double! Noisey early in the morning with the construction going on.

The hotel was under construction. We were not alerted to this before booking, noise level was ridiculous. Table saws and hammering all day. Pool, gym and pool deck were all closed down. I was placed into incorrect room size, booked and paid for a balcony and city view, received neither. I was moved the 1st time to a correct room but the noise was so bad we had to move again. In the third room, the noise was still unbearable. 3 moves, three unpacking and packing again.

There is NO RESTAURANT, NO BAR, NO POOL, NO AMENITIES. On top of that, they charged me $320 for My Executive Suite but HAD NO such suite available AND then said because it was booked thru Expedia they are not required to honor the booking. Attitudes were horrible. Service was horrible, shame on Marriott BonVoy!!! They literally charged me $310 for a $145 room. Don’t book if using Expedia at all and don’t THIS HOTEL- False advertising.
