I hate the new policy of charging my card $100 for incidentals. This is a nice hotel and I have been staying in Marriotts for 20+ years. You never used to do that. Some people need that money that night or next day.

The staff is really nice and welcoming. The location is pet friendly and beautiful. Very fair pricing and I look forward to staying there when I am on a business trip. They are also so helpful when I have needed assistance rescheduling due to my own mistake. Great experience and I would also recommend staying with them.
