| - Great renovated suite. The lobby, gym and surrounding areas were just great. However, when I first arrived, at around 10 p.m., the valet wasn't outside, but watching from inside. Hubby and I had to lug our luggage in as the front desk guy and valet guy just watched from inside. Apparently 60 degree weather is too cold for Arizonans to go outside and help their guests.
Upon check in, the front desk guy said we could park in the private garage for something like $15 a day or, and he recommended this option, go park in front of the hotel on the street or across the street. The valet perked up at this point and pointed toward two spots available on the street near the corner. He was very clear and said, "Look, there's two spots right there." Hubby carried the bags to the room and I moved the car exactly where I was told. In the morning, I found a parking ticket. That strip is apparently no parking because it's a trolley stop. You'd think the hotel would know that, or at least NOT recommend that I specifically park there.
Not cool, Marriott, not cool. I'll be writing a letter to the manager with a copy of the ticket asking for a check to pay it.
