By
all
means
DO
NOT
stay
at
this
hotel.
I
travel
constantly.
This
property
is
BY
FAR
the
most
disorganized,
user
unfriendly,
nickel-and-dime
establishment
I
have
ever
had
the
displeasure
of
staying
in.
THE
LOWDOWN:
The
W
shares
the
footprint
with
a
high
rise
condo
complex.
It
appears
that
the
W
has
no
actual
ownership
of
the
building.
This
means
that
they
are
a
tenant
and
have
no
say
in
any
of
the
workings
within
the
establishment.
This
makes
the
guest
a
total
afterthought
Here
are
a
few
of
the
issues:
VALET:
the
valet
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
hotel.
You
can
not
put
the
expensive
overnight
fee
on
your
room.
When
you
pay,
you
are
forced
to
go
to
a
single
credit
card
payment
machine.
The
machine
hardly
works
and
the
line
is
long.
The
driveway
is
in
total
chaos,
it’s
always
backed
up
and
there
is
constant
honking
(well
into
the
night)
People
cut
each
other
off
trying
to
get
in
and
out
of
the
valet
area.
Finally,
there
is
a
rule
that
you
can
only
leave
your
car
in
the
driveway
for
10
minutes
before
they
take
it
away.
This
means
that
if
you
need
to
check
in…
then
run
back
out
for
a
meeting,
valets
insist
that
they
park
your
car,
then
force
you
to
wait
30
minutes
for
it
to
be
fetched
again.
Not
only
did
we
experience
this,
but
two
other
people
did
at
the
exact
same
time.
People
were
literally
screaming
at
the
dismissive
valets.
FOOD
AND
BEVERAGE
Even
though
the
restaraunt
and
bar
are
in
the
upper
lobby,
they
have
nothing
to
do
with
the
hotel.
This
means
NO
room
charges,
a
$7.00
cup
of
coffee
paid
with
a
separate
credit
card,
ZERO
room
service.
Oh
and
the
hotel
generously
provides
you
with
a
$20
credit
to
use.
But
don’t
try
to
use
it
at
the
pool,
the
bar,
the
restaurant,
the
valet,
or
anywhere
other
than
your
hotel
mini
bar.
So,
for
my
credit
I
grabbed
a
small
$18
small
bag
of
cashews.
How
benevolent
of
them.
POOL/SPA/GYM
These
are
all
shared
spaces.
NONE
ARE
PROPRIETARY
TO
THE
HOTEL.
Upon
entering
the
pool,
the
guard
asks
for
your
room
number
and
takes
forever
to
“verify”
you
before
putting
a
plastic
wristband
on
you
(think
the
lowest
of
a
budget
cruise
ship),
The
pool
closes
at
7pm.
Guards
make
the
rounds
literally
whistling
at
people
shouting
for
them
to
leave
the
area.
If
you
want
access
the
gym
and
spa
from
the
hotel,
you
must
A)
take
the
hotel
elevator
to
the
fifteenth
floor
B)
get
a
wrist
band
at
the
pool
C)
walk
close
to
five
minutes
to
another
building
and
through
a
hidden
door.
D)
Take
a
separate
elevator
down
a
floor
E)
walk
through
a
maze
only
to
be
interrogated
by
another
guard
insisting
on
your
room
number.
For
admittance.
Finally,
you
can
get
your
workout
in.
BUT
Don’t
make
the
mistake
of
working
out
past
7pm
(even
though
the
spa
is
open
til
10)
BECAUSE
The
hotel
locks
all
the
reentry
doors
back
into
the
property.
So
you
either
have
to
hop
a
wall
and
cut
through
the
bar
(as
I
did)
OR
as
my
colleague
experienced,
you
are
forced
to
exit
through
an
unmarked
door,
get
locked
in
a
stairwell
and
walk
down
fifteen
flights
of
metal
stairs.
This
lets
you
out
at
the
garage
and
you
must
then
navigate
your
way
back
to
the
main
entrance
of
the
hotel
property.
ROOM
QUALITY
AND
EFFICIENCY
If
you
are
traveling
with
family
or
colleagues
and
you
are
on
different
floors,
you
will
NOT
be
able
to
meet
them
on
their
floor
because
the
key
cards
ONLY
work
for
the
floor
you
are
on.
So
to
meet
up,
you
must
go
to
the
top
floor,
then
they
have
to
let
you
into
their
floor.
My
king
room
appears
to
have
once
been
quite
nice.
Sadly,
the
shower
door
would
not
close
properly,
the
water
pressure
was
low
and
the
toilet
paper
holder
was
loose,
falling
off
the
wall.
My
room
was
situated
on
the
valet
side
of
the
building
so
I
was
perpetually
bombarded
by
horns
blowing
eternally,
as
drivers
were
angry,
and
caught
up
in
the
bottle
neck.
Bottom
line,
this
property
is
shameful.
The
Marriott
organization
should
be
ashamed
for
allowing
this
location
to
operate.
It
is
by
far,
one
of
the
worst
large
city
hotels
I
have
ever
stayed
in.
I
leave
tomorrow,
and
cannot
wait
to
evacuate
this
property.
Good
riddance.
