This is a decent hotel with very attenative staff und clean and comfortable rooms. The many restaurants, shops and the cinema centre make it easy to spend time out or find a place to eat. the nice lake in front give it a nice appearance.
Better come by car, since public transport is very limited in the area.
We stayed at the inauguration weekend which made the rooms very expensive. But otherwise I would say this is good value for money and I can definitely recommend it.

Completely different from you standard Courtyard, which I view as a good thing. More modern and stylish.

The good: very attentive desk staff, spotless room. Good location with lots of shopping and restaurants within walking distance.

The not so good: parking can be a bit of a hassle, but it's complementary. Lobby is small.

The net: I'd stay here again, but there are several other Marriott properties close by. Usually I stay at the Springhill Suites to save a few bucks (+ free breakfast.)

They do not have central ventilation meaning that your room is outfitted with a very noisy and clanky room "radiator." It was constantly adjusting the temperature in the room as it was a very cold night. If I elected to "keep the fan on" I was still bothered by the noise of the fan and blower. Both were very very loud and did not provide for a restful nights sleep. With the last remodel, Marriott should have invested a bit more to provide most of their guests what they are looking for: a comfortable, quiet night's sleep.

The staff is very fast to greet you when you come in the door. I had a very nice room over looking the water (better than other buildings I guess). There are shops, restaurants and a movie theatre all right down starts.

The parking is across the street but they let you park out front when you are checking in so you don't have to lug your stuff. The pool was very nice.

The rooms were clean and average size. The only real issue was the air conditioner which was LOUD. Yes I had to use the air conditioner in November because the room was rather stuffy. Beyond that it was nice.
