Stayed there 4 nights for parents weekend and it was a mixed bag. The walls were very thin, you could hear the floor above you using the restroom. Also my bed was on the hallway wall so it was extremely loud and I didn't get any sleep. Icing on the cake was the elevators broke during Sunday checkout time so a large group of us took the stairs with our luggage and the doors were all locked and we were stuck in the stairwell. The stairwell is the fire exit so let's hope there's never a fire in the building.

The Marriott was great for Parents Weekend. Room was spacious enough for 4 people. Pool and gym looked nice (didn’t use either!) Not as close as some of the other hotels to campus but Uber/lyfts were easy to access.

Rooms were not too clean. Bathroom stall shower had slippery bottom. Staff is excellent. Restaurants and food was pricey but good We had issues with the phone not working and the toilet had an issue flushing. Great for a visit to see your child at the University.
