    The staff at the Marriott was amazingly kind and helpful during our stay. The location is great with easy access to restaurants, local attractions, walking to nearby murals, and main roads for traveling and moving around the city. Room service was delicious and the spa was delightful! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    The parking is the problem at this hotel. If you're Ubering every where it's great but $40 every time you have to leave the garage or $65 for valet gets to tally up quick.

    Difficulty getting car to valet given not many valet persons present and only a single lane for the car on an active road next to rail line. Unless have multiples valet persons their is a bottleneck of a single lane street which happened upon my initial stay at hotel.

    I love love love the bathroom, when booking a room for some quiet time because im a mom and every now and then i need me a mental break and just to wind down, this was perfect for me. the room service, the fresh baked cookies just to say thank you, was top tier. The breakfast was a plus too. Will definitely be going back.. For my first visit first impression, there was nothing that I did not like about it. Everything checked out good for me. Oh if i had to pick, more movie channels maybe for some tv options for those who enjoy a little television.

    I truly valued the staff's sincere commitment to providing exceptional service. Their eagerness to assist made a significant difference in my experience. It was raining when we arrived, and there is construction on Main Street. Umbrellas popped out, and immediate assistance with luggage was offered. I didn't like the untold price of alcohol; it was $90 for a double serving of Woodford Reserve.

    One of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had. Arrived at 4p and my room wasn’t ready. They told me 20 minutes. An hr and 20 later I needed my room to shower and change for a meeting so went to the desk and they somehow found me one. The room was tiny, faced an inner courtyard thing where all I could see was directly into 15-20 rooms, half of which were under construction except the one directly across from me where we could see each other. My room was right by an elevator where I could literally hear it going up and down the entire night. I’ve stayed in many jw marriotts and this was by far the worst. They charged luxury hotel prices also. I’d highly recommend looking elsewhere

    It would be nice to know if a luxury hotel is under renovation BEFORE making reservations. Was notified by the hotel that the lobby was being renovated after a non-refundable reservation. Valet parking is across and down the street one block requiring guests to walk past several smelly garbage dumpsters to park and retrieve their car. Can't recommend the JW until the renovation is complete. With all that, the room was nice and the staff were courteous.

    The wifi was an overall pain to connect to compared to cheaper hotels. The carpet had a bad smell at a heated room temp. When you did get through the difficult connection process to the internet, the internet speed was horrible and you'd need to pay even more for tolerable speeds. The hdmi connection didn't work on the TV either. The Griffin Lounge Breakfast was greatly disappointing. Parking situation was also tedious and confusing; they own no parking.

Jose, the Bellman was very helpful at checkout. And not to forget, Mr. Charles and Logan were excellent at their job of getting us to the convention center and back on time. The entire trip was great with the staff that was at the hotel.

Overall I feel like the good attitudes, the professionalism of the staff, and the beautiful room helped me get over those small things. I still recommend to everyone in the area

I don’t know how this hotel got a 5 star rating. The pillows are not comfortable. There is no extra pillow in the closet. The mini bar just had 2 bottles of water, no drinks/snacks. 4 star hotel vibes. Spend your money elsewhere

    Valet parking drop off was easy to miss, and I did. Had to drive around and try again. The construction going on in the building next to the hotel was unsightly. The quality of the bedding and furniture in the room was “okay” but not what I expected from a premium brand hotel. I am not saying it was bad; it just wasn’t as nice as what I’ve experienced at other J.W. Marriot Hotels

    Blackout curtains are a fail. Doors are very squeaky in rooms/ between room sections and hard to be quiet if you want to be. Staff were often using elevators loading them with dirty dishes, laundry, etc when there are dedicated work elevators. Parking situation was a mess. Construction made it worse but an added hassle if you have a car. Staff were awesome. Very friendly and willing to go above and beyond.
