As all Marriott’s this property was well situated within driving distance to anything you’d need. The rooms are large and well laid out. The kitchen could be better equipped with cooking utensils though. Parking is very expensive.

Convenient if you have a car. Parking fee was somewhat hidden during booking - but might have been my mistake for not actively looking for it. Based on the Motel style layout I'd assumed parking was free/included.

Near a college, people cut through the property to access anothef street. We paid for parking but often couldnt find it near our unit due to putside people trying to escape paid parking at campus nearby. As we were checking out i watched it happen. Room was clean but smelled like a sewer.
