The night manager, Tomas, was very courteous, and as helpful as he could be within his means. The breakfast attendant brought a cup of freshly brewed coffee to our table when the urn had run out of coffee. So the human interactions were good. Nothing else was acceptable. We got a suite (Rm 133) with 2 bedrooms and a pull-out bed in the living room. The rooms were smelly. One of beds was saggy. You could feel every spring in the stained pull-out mattress. One of the bedrooms(with the better mattress) had a single functional bedside lamp. The overhead lights did not work and the other side of the bed did not have a lamp.They should not be advertising that suite as sufficient for 5 people. The vinyl on the cabinets were coming unstuck. The bath tub drain stopper was tricky and require quite a bit of fiddling to get it to drain. No hooks or towel rails in the bathroom. Just one mirror over the sink, no full-length mirrors anywhere. The carpet was held together with duct tapes and the sheer curtains were ripped. The breakfast was adequate. The saving grace was oatmeal with a good selection of toppings. But the furniture in the dining area and the lobby were in very bad condtion with cracking plether. The hotel needs a thorough revamp. We have stayed at better motels for half the price. I guess we learnt that there are some establishments that do not live up to the Marriott name.

First night I was going to shower, there was hair on the walls of the bath tub & also along the trim of closet doors, as if dirty towels where used to wipe down areas. Also, I had to call front desk 2 times to complain of group of people drinking on the front patio area & talking loud approx 11:30pm -12:00am. I was told they had brought it up to their attention, but nothing the staff could do on their part and that I had to just deal with it.

Good location to Grimes Sportsplex that’s about it. Always smelled like weed outside & inside property, bathrooms really small/bad design, mattresses sink/need replaced, bathroom tiles dirty, noisy interstate traffic, would not stay at this property again.
