    Hampton Rods meeting rooms were way too cold. One room was 65 degrees. People left the meeting due to it being too cold. That's ridiculous and a waste of HVAC money.

    Breakfast was always great and reasonably priced.

    We were coming by car and called about parking and were told that we could use the public lots nearby. But they were all full. We ended up paying for a private lot only to find they had valet parking. So we spent more than we would have to valet. As a "make it up to you" we were given access to the M club, but when I went for water Sunday we were checking out, there was none. I could have used tap but the ice machine on on floor was broken. For the kind of money I paid for one night, this seems like things that should be fixed,

    The location was wonderful and the staff very kind once we were in the hotel. Lots of great places to eat nearby and close to Chrysler Hall which is where we were going. Everything in walking distance is something I like a lot.

    but the elevators need to be expanded or at least upgraded. Wait times were a little excessive.

    When I originally called and asked if I was speaking to Marriott, the agent told me yes. I did not expect to be billed a additional $40. When I made reservation which I booked in my and name, I asked about my husband's military discount. The agent told me I mention at front desk to get the Veteran's Discount. Because I booked under my name through you, they could not change it to his name; so we lost a military 10% discount, too. Not happy with you.

    Room was beautiful and clean, modern. Location was perfect and we left prior to breakfast.

    Parking was unexpected since I had to park in a parking deck behind the hotel, and it was at least $13/day or park on the street. The parking deck is not a part of the hotel, so there isn't a direct entryway to the hotel from the parking deck. This is a touristic area so don't expect to have a local pharmacy like Walgreens or CVS close by nor a grocery store. They are within a 10 or less min drive.

    The ease of check-in was a plus. The location was convenient for restaurants, events, and the ferries. This area seemed safe and with things to do for the family.

    - Price of the car service - I would recommend that the hotel provides more working clothing to the dining hall staff as they wore clothing that seemed old and worn out.

    - Kindness of the personnel. - Breakfast variety.
