Staff was very friendly but hotel is very basic. Breakfast was in a small room, not many tables and just basic. Not bad but I think there’s better.

I would definitely stay again. Everything was clean and the staff friendly. They did charge for parking which I wasn’t aware of until check in but other than that our stay was great.

Excellent location, across the street from the Hiller Museum, where we were attending an event. Nothing too fancy about the hotel, but it is clean. Included breakfast was about what you'd expect. One issue they need to look into: Watching TV is a challenge. Lots of blips and pixilations on every channel.

Clean, staff is very approachable and helpful. Property is used for storing shipping containers so even though lower level has a window and nice views of the airport you may not see the view. Breakfast is well stocked has two hot items usually eggs, sausages, potatoes etc. Other items such as fruits, breads, yogurts are well stocked. We stay here 3-4 times a year and would do it again.

Elevator does not work. Be prepared to carry your bags up the flight of stairs to your floor. Neighbors are noisey and can easily hear noise from other rooms due to thin walls. Toilet seat is very low to the ground. They charge for parking.

The front desk was very cordial and helpful at check in. She even let us check in 45 minutes early. Tv wasn’t working and a man came right over. It was unplugged. Thank goodness.

The exterior of the hotel was not maintained. The room was a little outdated, the shower curtain was dirty. Inside the drawers were dirty, there was no laundry bags. The curtains were filthy.

This place was completely disappointing for the price. I felt like I was in some fleabag motel on the side of the freeway, not a place I would pay $300/night for! The smell of the room was pungent, like burning tires and fake lemon. The bed was AWFUL (whoever said they are comfortable in the reviews lied, they are stiff, springs poking into your back and pillows cricked my neck). The bedspread is this scratchy cheap polyester. Truly couldn’t wait to get out of there, I left at 6:30am.

We have been doing our staycation here for last 2 years. There is construction going on behind the property but didnt bother us over the 3 nights stay. Cool to see hobby airport planes taking off and landing from the room. Breakfast is decent- had hot eggs or omelets and oats with nuts and seeds options. Has a small gym with weights and treadmills to burn of those excessive vacation calories. Was able to watch NFL games while burning calories. Cable has very limited options but has Netflix and YouTube capabilities. So wasn't an issue. They do charge $7 per day for parking, which was weird as its not a airport hotel that has limited parking space, again not a major issue.

Jul 22, 2024

This hotel was not as advertised. ALL of the switches in the room were occupancy sensors, meaning the lights wouldn't turn off. Turning lamps on was dangerous, as one was falling apart and both had broken switches. The management was ineffective and largely missing, as children running through the halls at midnight, music until 2am and the smell of marijuana taking over the entire bottom floor would confirm. The one item that would turn off on the occupancy switch was the air conditioning - while I was sleeping. Staff cleaned the room and removed the used cups without replacing them, and neglected to wipe down the mirrors that had layers of dust atop them. The provided pillows were half-sized and ONLY light feather pillows, so if you weren't used to them you'd have a locked neck in the morning. The bed springs creaked loudly as they tipped you off the edge, and the 'blackout' curtains did not help the stream of light from the constantly flickering, poorly maintained parking lot lighting. As we were checking in, a guest approached the front desk about fraudulent charges that popped up upon his checking in. I attempted to purchase upgraded internet 3 times, but the system never worked. I needed this due to the obvious cell phone blocker installed in the hotel. My signal would drop from full 5G to less than half of a 4G signal upon walking in through the front door. Our team left early and slept in our trucks. This should not have the Marriot name attached.
