I chose this property for its location and they offered a suite option. They even kindly sent through a visual walk-thru of the jnr suite. On arrival, after checking in, the room sadly wasnt as described. Most of the furniture in the suite was very worn, stained and old. The small kitchen area had a fridge and microwave but no utensils, plates etc. The air conditioning units were very noisy indeed and couldnt be turned down. The layout was basically two rooms with one of the rooms having the bed removed. I contacted the hotel to share my upset, as was quite expensive and initially told that was "normal wear and tear" and to be expected. They did then reduce the room rate and offered free breakfasts for my stay. Then due to "computer error" checked me out 2 days before i should have been, charged me for breakfasts and re charged my card for the remaining 2 nights, so there were two "fund holds" on my card which i wasnt happy with. Marriott usually are very good indeed but this one fell below. All the staff were friendly and did try to help, but errors just kept on happening. I hope both the suite condition and processes are looked into for any other person staying there.

The guy who checked us in was great. We also met another gentleman that helped us to where we needed to be and even held the elevator open for us. The only complaint is that my room has no body wash and I called the front desk twice. It has been 2 hours and still no body wash. So I can’t shower.

Our room was not well maintained. The desk chair was torn, the wallpaper was coming apart at the seams, and the shower was not well-cleaned. There was no bathmat and the shower was out of body soap. The walls were paper thin, with noise from next door waking us multiple times. The hotel’s phone started beeping at 6 am, and could not be turned off.

I really hope this review is not public because I am not one for leaving negative reviews publicly. Everything, except for the staff, was terrible. If it were not for the incredible staff who went over and beyond knowing that no matter what they offered could not make anything right, I would have left in tears. Can someone please call me to discuss further.

The day of check in the hostess seem bothered about the work needing to be done, could have had a bad day, unsure. However the pricing is somewhat vague. Parking on the third party site said $10/night, ok it is third party. Front desk told me $14/night and the tv screen showing all the information about the hotel said $12/nightly, mhhh. It also showed a California pizza kitchen near by, nope. The pool was also not available, some maintenance issue bummer, just seem weird that no one could be bothered to update the information screen in the elevator. I guess stuff happens and that is ok. The rooms itself need serious updating, rust on the bathroom floor and the picture frames, no hair dryer and the AC unit blows right onto the nearby bed, the vent cannot be moved, I had to put luggage in front of it. Pricing was ok for what we got, Philadelphia was a lot of fun.

At checking in the person at the Front Desk never looked at me with eye to eye contact to work in Customer Service. This is not good and he needs to work better with this concern, when Customers approach him at the Front Desk, whether at check-in or check-out. Yet overall my stay here with family, which we traveled from Virginia was good.
