Living out of a suitcase from week to week means I've seen the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to hotels. How does this Marriott rate? It's a high 3 stars/ low 4 stars. The staff is excellent. The staff is the reason I like this hotel. The location is meh. Close to the airport which is very convenient getting shuttle rides. However, if you want to eat anything other than hotel food, you'll need a car and it's a hike to civilization. (And no the Denny's next door does not count as food). There isn't even a drug store nearby.
The rooms are a decent size if you're in the newer part of the hotel. However, the bathrooms are minuscule with no counter space. As you can see from my pictures, I have a LOT of hair and my beauty regimen products do not fit on the counter. I pretty much just keep my toothbrush on it. No room for anything else.
The restaurant- AMP, is pretty tasty. Good gumbo, burgers and those sea salt fries! Yum! The concierge lounge is in the main building. So be careful which room you're in because if you're in the wrong side of the building you'll walk for days to get there.
The gym is pretty limited on equipment and gets crowded early in the morning (yes, there are crazy people like me working out at 5 am). The pool is a standard tiny hotel pool, but there is a hot tub.
The staff is awesome! I'm talking smiles, greeting me by name, leaving hand written cards for me at the desk and in my room. The shuttle drivers who cart me back and forth to the airport remember me. Just this week one of the drivers cleaned the snow off my car and waited for it to warm up before letting me get in it! Seriously, the staff here goes above and beyond. They make my stay here almost feel like I'm at home.
