Valet is a nightmare. Bistro is only open when the servers feel like working. I’ve stayed at a lot of Marriott’s but this is the worst one by far.

A wonderful location with spacious rooms. The staff was responsive and helpful. The bistro was not open and we found the minimal breakfast offerings disappointing. The valet parking service was overwhelmed when we arrived on a busy afternoon.

I liked that it’s very near the Boardwalk but very few amenities. No ice machine was working. Understaffed. Check-in was super slow. Staff was nice but overwhelmed. No towels in pool area. We had to ask staff to provide because towel stand was empty. The hotel itself was clean and new which we liked but we had a towel that had a stain on it which housekeeping should have noticed when they stocked the bathroom towels. Didn’t like that you had the use your key to turn on the lights.
