"This is a newly renovated Marriott, with rooms on the top floors advertised as having been the first to get modernized/spiffed up. The other floors are presumably soon to follow. Upon check-in, they give you the option of "upgrading" to one of the upper floor rooms for a $20/night fee. Not breaking the bank, but also enough that you'd hope the experience was at least justify the outlay. My experience was sadly left wanting. While the room did sport some modern aesthetics (graphic wall design), platform bed (with marshmallow soft mattress, in case you were expecting firmer), laminate flooring at the entryway, a couple West Elmy furnishings, one couldn't escape feeling this was the same basic room as before with a little low-fi gussying up. The big disappointment, however, was a shower that went from low-flow and lukewarm to completely crapping out and not running at all by day 3, my check-out day. The front desk attendant was pleasant enough to offer some bonus points to my account as a goodwill gesture. Which was fine, but there are clearly still some wrinkles to iron out as they bring these upgrades online. Overall, it's a Marriott, so you're getting a safe, clean, standardized experience. Would give it a solid 3 stars, with room for improvement."
