Stayed here of a few nights with a group. One member checked in and found the bathroom dirty and checked out and went next door to the Residence Inn. With some reluctance I checked-in. My room was clean and seemed OK The third day, i found a container of hotel conditioner in the tub. Puzzled still as I do not use hotel stuff and doubt I missed that for two days. Did someone use my bathroom for a shower during the day? Staff was friendly. Location was the main reason I chose this area and Marriott brand was the reason to try this hotel. It is a short walk over to the Market Square area and a longer walk to the Riverwalk area. It took us about 20 minutes to get to the River Walk area,
Pluses for the hotel
* Location is within walking distance
* Free parking (downtown is expensive valet)
* near on off ramp to I-35 ( Downtown driving is not visitor friendly)
Minuses for the hotel
* Hallway lights are dim and make the halls look dingy
* Strong smell of chlorine emanating from the pool area
* Breakfast is relativity Ho-Hum
* No restaurant or bar
I have stayed at the Holiday Inn next door and found the local area OK and wanted to try a Marriott. Next time I may try the other Marriott's adjacent to this hotel. Others in our group liked the location as well but thought the hotel was only fair.
