I have stayed here quite a bit and am a member of the rewards program (although not sure you get any rewards?). Always enjoyed the plush bedding, quiet location and cleanliness. Now my room was one of the remodeled ones and it was very clean and looks all new, if you like the sort of industrial look. A lot of the chain hotels are redecorating in a modern style--sort of stark. It almost looks like you are sleeping in your office and the mattress did not seem as good as the former ones. Marriott always had good mattresses in the past. The lighting was so harsh it was blinding. No art work was on the walls. Pool and spa are being removed from the property--too bad because that was a nice amenity. It has a bistro but doesn't seem to be open very much. No complimentary anything for breakfast like their sister hotel nearby. And the room charge was overpriced. So I can't really recommend this anymore unfortunately.

Great location right outside the city and close to airport. Newly renovated rooms were very nice and clean. Bistro wasn’t the best, they have Starbucks menu but definitely not equipped to make a decent coffee. Across the street is the real Starbucks. I didn’t realize I choose a different check out date and was gone the entire day out of town the hotel. They tried to reach me via email about checking out, not the best communication idea because I was two hours away! The pool and hot tub we can only use because of the renovations which was disappointing.
