    Lovely room, great location for what we were doing, and fantastic staff!!!!!!

    There are no "normal" food options here, everything is "up scale" and required a reservation. Don't get me wrong, the food was great, but $36.00 for a fish dinner is a bit much even if it was Red Fish. But a Normal Chain restaurant would be nice too. Oh, and valet parking lost our car, but they took a night of parking off our bill for the trouble ( again, the manager was Fantastic helping us)

    was across the street from the event we were attending

    Buffet service, some staff during buffet service in the morning completely ignored us. The sausage links were iffy, and some flavor profiles of the jams and hot sauce can be different. The food is hot at the service buffet but once you sit down, it cools down very fast, so some options that are great hot, may not taste so good once cooled.

    Great location to convention center, and good places to eat.

    Nice little trip-within-a-trip, and whilst not cheap was hugely convenient and enjoyable

    The bartenders could have been more welcoming. Still not received my invoice/folio.

    Room was spacious and well-appointed. Not sure you would describe the view as stunning but it was interesting looking over the front of the building and towards the venue we were attending. As we could see the venue you could say the location was ideal for us. Valet-parking was ultra-convenient and not hideously priced when you're used to daily Disney and Universal self-parking. Even bar prices weren't terrible for a top quality hotel!

    The beds were a bit hard and the room gets really hot at night, no matter how low you turn the ac down, even my teenage boys complained.

    We loved the location, we were there to attend a lightning game. The location was perfect for that. We also loved walking around and looking at all the boats. I also like to run, I felt safe by myself and enjoyed the scenery. There were many people running and a beautiful trail to follow

    Not a big deal, but tried to order food after coming back from a comedy show down the road. The bartenders ignored me for 10 minutes until it was 11:01 and then said kitchen was closed. That was done on purpose and it’s terrible customer service.

    Bed was comfortable, pillows were lacking. Not enough support.

    I did stay in a pet friendly room however after hurricane Helene, I stayed at the Westin the room. There was much nicer than the Marriott. The room was pet friendly and did have carpet. The room at the Marriott was an old vinyl flooring felt very cold, especially for the price I paid through Booking.com .

    I was there post hurricane Milton. The staff was extremely accommodating during a very stressful situation.
