I rarely write reviews, but I feel like I need to on this one. First, I'll start with the positives: The inside lobby and breakfast area were clean and modern. The staff were friendly, although we didn't deal with them very much over our the four nights we were there. They did always welcome us upon entering the hotel. The lounge was a great option if you want to relax and have a drink. We stopped by one of the four nights we were there. The breakfast was fine as well. Now, for the negatives. We stay at Marriott hotels 99% of the time. This property by far has the most issues of any we've stayed at. It definitely doesn't live up to Marriott standards. My husband is not very picky about hotels, but he definitely commented about the condition of this one. The hotel grounds outside were FILTHY! There are cigarette butts everywhere. I took a walk around the building and property one morning and they are all over the sidewalks, parking lot, flower beds, grass, etc. There was also garbage in the parking lot, in the flower beds, and sidewalks. I actually ended up picking up garbage as it had been there at least a few days. Weeds and overgrowth filled all the flowerbeds. There was also a dirty sock sitting in a flower bed/edge of sidewalk that remained there the entire time we were there. The sidewalks are covered in bird poop. It appears that the outside is an after thought and very to little maintenance has been done. We wanted to sit on the outside front patio one night, but again, trash, cigarette butts, and bird poop were everywhere. The couch cushions were also very dirty. The entire outside could definitely stand to be power washed. Our room was mostly clean. However, there were several wall corners covered in dirt, which I wiped off with Clorox wipes. Also, there was a large piece of paint peeling from the ceiling in our shower. The soap and shampoo bottles that are normally attached to the shower wall had fallen off and were placed in the soap dish that was also barely attached to the wall. One of the towel holders was also barely attached to the wall, so we didn't dare use it. In addition, the window shade had an almost perfectly cut 5-6 inch square cut out of it. It was obvious someone had cut it. I really hope they can improve this property as we do prefer to stay at Marriott locations and we will be returning in the near future with a group of family members for a graduation.
