Disappointing. Kind of gross.

Be aware that parking is extremely limited, is in a rundown parking garage that was difficult to maneuver, isn’t included and cost 22$/night. Front desk service were very friendly. The room itself was run down. The dresser handle was broken and “fixed” with duct tape. The floor of the room wasn’t carpeted, which should mean it’s easier to keep clean. Nope! Gross, dirty floor. Keep your shoes on. My socks turned black and we were only awake in the room a few hours. Tub was damaged and “patched” I guess you’d call it. Just kind of a gross disappointing experience. Breakfast was supposed to be served until 9:30am but we went down at 8:55 and more than half the items were gone and the servers said they would not be refilling those items. I don’t usually complain but for the amount we paid - we were disappointed. We have stayed in many Residence Inns by Marriott and this one was not up to the usual standard.
