Aggressive Housekeeping
The hotel was fine, accommodations were good. The only negative was housekeeping banging on the door at 9:00 am (Sunday morning) inquiring whether they could clean the room. Check out was 12 pm (noon), thought that was somewhat aggressive. L

We’ve stayed at this property many times before but it has gone downhill since our last time there a year ago. The staff seems lost and the front desk is a joke, nobody knows what’s going on. In the evening they had Fox News on at the bar area in this huge TV, I had to ask an employee to switch it to something else, anything! I don’t think a hotel should have that kind of upsetting programming forced on guests! Have HGTV on or sports! Anything but Fox! Come on! This is a Marriott hotel I expected better. The breakfast I paid for through my reservation was so frustrating because they keep trying to charge you for it again! I’m still fighting over an $80 charge for breakfast that is in error! I do not recommend this hotel, I will not stay there again.

The hotel is located very close to the train station.
Housekeeping services offered every other day. Coffee in the guest room only one decaf and one regular/ day for 2 people. I had to ask at the front desk every night for one extra coffee for the morning.
Overall we had a pleasant stay.

I didn't get room service, I stay there for only 2 nights. I am very disappointed, funny thing is that I tip $10 room service for nothing, we have to ask for towels for shower . No compensation at all. We are very disappointed.

New, small and modern setting. Sheets and mattresses had stains and it was difficult to get a solution, although the front desk offered free parking, still doesn’t fix the issue for the time being
