The over all stay was nice everything is walking distance which was super convenient since we didn’t have to drive anywhere, the only thing that happened was they charged us twice, and wouldn’t return it, they put a hold on it until we checked out so we had two charges and had to wait until our stay was over to receive that money back. They said there was a mix up or something. Luckily it didn’t affect us but it was a $800 hold plus our actual charge for the room. So that sucked. But other than that it was a nice place to stay they made rooms smaller from what they use to be but has nice updated restroom and nice views.

We appreciate the feedback and apologize for the mixup with your billing. We will review with the front desk to ensure that it doesn’t happen in the future.

Management lied to my face. Dirty and got sick. You have to walk to the cafe because no room service or rented movies or bellhops. Everyone eats in the center where you walk in. $46 parking limited. Homeless people. No taxis or hotel shuttle

We very much enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It is large and held a lot of people on NYE but we still never heard anything when we went to bed. Housekeeping was great. Right on the Riverwalk but not at a particularly noisy end and it is attached to a mall and several restaurants which was convenient. We’d stay here again.

Check in was rather awkward. Was greeted and then asked if I had already checked in. How could I if I had just arrived? Had to stand there and wait while others checked in with no issues. Even though we ended up getting our room, it was rather uncomfortable having to wait as if I had done something wrong.

So sorry it was an uncomfortable start to your stay. It may have been confusion due to our mobile check in program. We will address this concern with the desk team and hope you will return in the future.

The stay itself was good but really upset me is related to the reservation. My reservation had an upgrade option for $5 that included free valet parking. When I checked in at the hotel the front desk didn't have it on their end. The clerk said that's ok, I'll remove the valet charge. After my stay when I got the email bill, I was charged $50 for the one night valet charge. Infuriating on a couple levels. One, that Orbitz reservations and Marriott communications were not the same, and two, the clerk said she removed the charge, but didn't. Makes me feel like if I hadn't looked at the bill, they would have got away with it. How hard is it for what you book online to be the same as when you check in?

The room layout was not what I reserved on Expedia. I reserved a junior suite with 2 queens but got a king suite which was not enough to accommodate my family. The Marriott blamed Expedia for being misleading on what was available at the hotel when I booked. To correct the situation, Marriott’s solution was to offer me a second room at a reduced rate. I was not about to purchase another room when my first room was already $420 a night. Disappointed at Expedia and Marriott both!
