This hotel used to be a Holiday Inn of the "Holidome" variety but it has been remodeled bottom to top front to back and in its new life, the building carries the Marriott flag. As one other reviewer noticed, the only hints that it's not a 100% new building from the ground up are the elevators and the antiquated looking controls for the Heat and A/C. The owners have put a lot of money into marble and wood trim and crown moldings and it all looks very nice. The room had Marriott's new bedding with lots of pillows and was very comfortable. There was also a coffee table and sofa in the room. The desk was in two parts that allows you to move part to where ever in the room you want. This does allow you to work at the desk and watch the TV (in an armoire) at the same time. A definite plus in my book. The bathroom was on the small size but adaquate for one person. The other's are correct in that the rooms on the highway side of the building do have a fair amount of street noise especially during rush hours. See if you can avoid getting one of those.
The restaurant and bar are on the dark side with lots of wood panels with a very old gentleman's club vibe to it. While there were many people coming and going through the lobby of the hotel, the bar and the restaurant seemed to have very few customers. I wondered if the lighting had something to do with it.
My stay was very predictable Marriott -- nothing bad, but nothing extraordinary either.
