Chad

Disliked: Cleanliness
The hotel is in a great location, with easy access to the outlets and plenty of restaurants. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of our room was disappointing. There was sand throughout the floor, and we found hair in both the sink and shower. This was not the level of cleanliness I would expect from a Marriott hotel. Given the brand’s reputation, I expected much better.
