Easy place to stay!

This was a good place to stay! We had no issues. The pool was chilly, but no big whoop. The breakfast was your standard hotel free breakfast, but was good and we appreciated it very much. The check-in was easy enough. They have games you can check-out which was cool.

The night manager, Tomas, was very courteous, and as helpful as he could be within his means. The breakfast attendant brought a cup of freshly brewed coffee to our table when the urn had run out of coffee. So the human interactions were good. Nothing else was acceptable. We got a suite (Rm 133) with 2 bedrooms and a pull-out bed in the living room. The rooms were smelly. One of beds was saggy. You could feel every spring in the stained pull-out mattress. One of the bedrooms(with the better mattress) had a single functional bedside lamp. The overhead lights did not work and the other side of the bed did not have a lamp.They should not be advertising that suite as sufficient for 5 people. The vinyl on the cabinets were coming unstuck. The bath tub drain stopper was tricky and require quite a bit of fiddling to get it to drain. No hooks or towel rails in the bathroom. Just one mirror over the sink, no full-length mirrors anywhere. The carpet was held together with duct tapes and the sheer curtains were ripped. The breakfast was adequate. The saving grace was oatmeal with a good selection of toppings. But the furniture in the dining area and the lobby were in very bad condtion with cracking plether. The hotel needs a thorough revamp. We have stayed at better motels for half the price. I guess we learnt that there are some establishments that do not live up to the Marriott name.

We liked our stay & room. The room was small but had everything one might need. We felt the lobby & entrance was confusing. We weren’t sure we were in a hotel at first. I thought we were in a residencial apartment building. The entrance could be more welcoming. Definitely smoky smell by elevators. Friendly staff
