The hotel was perfect for us. Out of way within the city. Right next to the Independence Center. The hotel was clean, breakfast was good, parking is very easy. They have loyal customers who stay here when in town. I rate hotels on whether I feel they are clean, safe, and responsive to what you need. This hotel fit those categories.

Property is not safe or suitable for guests. Major water damage from last month has not been resolved and management is placing people in rooms near hazardous material situations. Wallpaper is falling off, loose wires hanging out of ceilings with equipment and building debris littering the hallways. My room was surrounded by damaged rooms that had doors open and loud fans running constantly 24/7. These issues were discussed with the manager rep on duty who did not seem to be concerned, said she would take care of it but did nothing. Due to the extensive damage throughout, this facility should be closed until all repairs have been completed. I have pictures of all hazardous conditions. This is not the Marriott management response experience I would expect after 20+ years of using this brand.
