DO not book go to the Marriott
The bathroom and sink was not in the same room. False advertisement on the square footage. The air conditioner did not work and either did the television or WiFi. Had to move rooms at 930 pm and had to pay $572 dollars for a hotel in the hood.

BEWARE
Beware…..Hotels.Com say “Pet Friendly” However, the “hotel” charges $50.00 per dog per day. I am unsure how they get away with this charge as to SB 487. The hotel was nothing special, the rooms were extremely small for 3 people, the staff were friendly and helpful. I would not return.
