Irrespective of the current renovations, this was a poorly maaged Marriott. The lobby bathrooms had no soap, the pool area ran out of towels, so many people and families had to go back to their rooms wet, even when several people called for towels, it didnt come for a long time. Lastly, we ran out of conditioner and body wash in our room. When i called and asked for more, conditioner was broguht up, but I was told the hotel ran out of body wash, so I asked if they could bring some the next day. I was told they wouldnt have any, and no solution was provided until i requested some extta bars of soap to shower.
