Marriott has sadly become a nickel and dime chain. I used to like these hotels because they were comfortable and affordable. Since the renovations, the beds are hard and feel like cots, the pillows are all hard and give me a kink in my neck, they charge $5 for a coffee because now they have “Starbucks” (such a joke) and $12 for what amounts to an egg McMuffin. They charge you for bottled water too. There was a central location in the lobby where you could order food, but the whole setup was confusing leading most guests to wonder if they were in the right place to order food. The staff of the food area was rude.
I think Marriott tries to hard to make the outside of the hotel look nice but they absolutely cheap out on the comforts that their guests expect. It is simply lipstick on a pig.
