"There was some initial confusion at check in as the front desk thought the room was serviced and available. The room was cleaned in a timely fashion. The staff was excellent , responding to all our requests. The price for the room with two double beds was outrageous. With fees and taxes the room was over 725.00 for one night. It is extremely difficult to book a hotel room directly and we are at the mercy of third party reservationists."

"There was several mixups about this reservation. I was charged $10 a day for parking which I never knew of $30 total. Also bottles of water in the room with five dollar tags marked on them.Then breakfast was not complementary you had to pay for that as well. Staff did not know how to split the charge for two people. Said they did it but I have a full charge on my credit card which was reserved through Expedia. ever since Bonvoy took over apparently things have changed from the old Marriott. I’ve used for 50 years and loved. Hampton Inn in Albany gave us a bottle of water upon registration, had a wonderful buffet breakfast complementary and did not charge for parking lots that you drive in and out of yourself"
