| - Well, this place wins for location alone.
Now that I'm too old to A) know anyone on campus and B) be fine with couch crashing in rooms with beer soaked carpets, I'm super glad Marriott is here. Now, I'm kind of sad that they ate up the parking lot of our old stomping grounds Legends, but I'm definitely glad we can stay next door to it.
A bunch of us got rooms for our 10-year reunion here over summer, so availability and noise issues may change. They messed up a couple of our friends' room requests, but otherwise it worked out fine. We were able to check in early, and parking was cheap and hassle-free.
The rooms themselves were spacious and it was nice to have full fridges to keep leftovers in (and I suppose drinks, but we're on campus as alumni, no need to really pre-game). Free wi-fi and lots of USB charging ports, too.
The biggest minus I'll give is that the breakfast was pretty disappointing. I had like, a banana, a muffin, and half a bagel? Fine for a quick morning snack, but now how you'd battle off multiple pickleback shots the night before.
Regardless, this is absolutely the place I'm going to stay at anytime I come back down. Any alumni visiting should consider the same.
