Great experience. The service was excellent, the hotel is very beautiful, and everything was very clean. Breakfast was 10/10 — delicious and well prepared. I would definitely stay here again.
Check in was very easy and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. It was my daughter’s birthday and they were so helpful letting us celebrate with her sports team in the lobby. We had a one bedroom suite and the only negative is our room faced the street where trolly goes by and makes lots of noise. It makes it hard to sleep past 6am. If you like to hike a mountain across the street or walk the river walk it’s right there.
Good location. Clean rooms. Great shower.
Bed needs replaced. Expensive parking when you have to walk to the garage next door.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was spotless. The staff were nice and parking was free. The room looked like the one at The Westin but AC Marriot seemed to have more space. I would definitely stay here again..
Our stay here was fine, the rooms were clean and it was in a very walkable location. They messed up and gave us the wrong room at first but it was resolved fairly quickly.
