“Not Impressed”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 2, 2013

The lobby is well appointed, the king size bed is comfortable but this place lacks any type of luxury. The electrical outlets in our room wouldn't hold the plug and I don't know if it's every room but there are no lamp shades. Talk about ghetto and strange looking. No fridge in room. Wouldn't stay here again.

Stayed February 2013, traveled as a couple

“Useless wifi service”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed February 1, 2013

It's 2013. Wifi is not that hard. It is completely useless at this property, both in-room (with no ethernet alternative) and all over the lobby. If you need to be online during your travels, do not stay here. And the staff swear that no one else has complained about this. It was just those exact hours while there that my laptop was malfunction and immediately repaired itself whenever I left the Marriott.

“Very Dissappointing Courtyard Marriott”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed January 22, 2013

I must give the front desk staff in particular Veronica 4 stars. She went completely out of her way for me to find a suitable room. She is a shining star at the hotel. The lobby is very nice and looked freshly remodeled but that's where it ended. I had a suite on the top floor. The carpet was dirty with spots all over the place. The sofa was worn out and needed to be replaced. I ended up using the sink in the bar to shave and get ready as the flow limiter the hotel put on the bathroom sink was unbelievable. It took 5 minutes to wash your hands the water flowed so slowly. The freeway noise was very loud too even on the 11th floor. I've been on the road for 10+ years and this hotel's towels won the prize for being the worst EVER towels of any hotel I've ever stayed in. They were so rough and worn out you could see your hand on the other side of the hotel. The sheets weren't much better. Piece of advice hotel management, GET NEW TOWELS and LINENS!!

Room Tip: Choose another hotel. Doubletree and Hilton Garden Inn around the corner.

“Dirty rooms”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

Stayed here on business with business colleagues. My room had a light brown spot on one of the towels, kind of off putting to find.. I mean was it just stained or dirty? Either way, housekeeping should not have out it on the towel rack for me to walk into as I checked in. Yuck! My work colleague commented on the products in his room, feeling that they had been opened and were slightly used... One of us asked for a quiet room, staff must have been confused as he was placed next to the ice machine and elevator. The staff were friendly, but maybe just not listening or useless... We didn't eat there so cant comment.. it is in a good location and was very convenient for work.

“Great Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

This hotel is in a great location. Very close to food, shopping and entertainment. Upon arrival the front desk staff is very welcoming. The rooms are comfortable and the beds are amazing. Across the street there is ample shopping including an outdoor mall, target and Ikea. There is a trader joes and other stores just down the street.

THere is a wonderful international food court in the public market about a 7 or 8 minute walk away, try the amazing different foods from around the world.

My room was overlooking the freeway, howoever I didnt hear a thing!! You will SINK into the bed it is so comfortable!
