We stayed at this marriott mid March of this year while we attended a huge conference at the JW Marriott.
This was quite a surprise First do not get discouraged when you see their wonderful old style buildings and rooms compressed on such a small piece of property and so close to busy roads . We arrived late, so the selection of rooms was limited. Our room was close to the road but it was quiet once inside.
Parking was tight but there is a space for everyone. With such limited land you don't have the wonderful manicured lawns trees but, you have my favorite old style large rooms with wonderful full kitchens.
I needed a full oven because immediately following our meetings we were driving 2 days to be guests of a family on a special old Native American reservation. I promised to bring them a huge complete Japanese beef teriyaki dinner with home made toasted almond basmati rice w fresh parsley. And I hand carried on the plane a dozen frozen French buttercream iced chocolate ( w Choco ganache centers) cupcakes from our favorite bakery ( turtle bread) in minneapolis -- iridescent sparkle on the blush pink icing some had fresh orchids-- their cupcake of the month.
It took me 3 days of shopping prepping then cooking in my hotel kitchen. The staff was OUTSTANDING. Pots pans. Some ingredients. They must have thought me crazy cooking such a huge meal ( to feed 10) in my room!! Wonderful cleaning staff. Some of the best breakfast creations I have ever had at any residence inn. And the young gentleman ( Miguel?) who checked us in at midnight helped us unload our car ( we were exhausted). It is the STAFF who make this compressed complex of buildings a great experience.
Price was also excellent. Proximity convenience to the JW Marriott driving back and forth rush hour etc. ( back roads) was very easy, faster than expected.
Staff were all warm genuine big smiles, friendly happy ( ESP kitchen staff) with their jobs. They fed an ARMY/ avalanche of people each day. Cooking madly trying to keep up with demand. With so much business and traffic of guests they kept the facility very clean and free of any odors ! (I have a super sensitive nose. Do not like dirty hotels).
If they had more land space were not so close to the highway and in a slightly better area I would have given them 5 stars. MARRIOTT SENIOR MNGT needs to help this hotel -- freshen up the interiors-- huge guest traffic!!!
We will definitely return. And book early .
