I booked this hotel through its website and paid $129 per night for a weekend business trip. Asked for a high floor facing north and was given a room on the 16th floor where I could see most of the Disneyland fireworks from the balcony. There are two towers in this hotel but only one has balconies.
Room was clean, spacious and comfortable with a desk but no table and chairs. There was an easy chair and ottoman, TV with poor selection of channels and inconsistent sound levels among the channels (very annoying). The bed was very comfortable with no dirty bedspread just a light duvet and sheets, lots of pillows. Sliding door and closet door tracks both appeared bent and then repaired. They did not slide easily. Would have been nice to have the slider lock open just a few inches for ventilation and not have to run the AC at night.
Easy to get extra towels but despite leaving notes could not get housekeeping to allow my towels to air dry and not replace them all daily. Hair dryer, ironing board and iron, tea and cofee making and a refrigerator in the room--too bad there wasn't a microwave.
The Marriott has a steakhouse, a bar, a cafe and a large Starbucks which had a nice selection of sandwiches, salads and snacks. I was here for a convention and to escape at lunch got a made to order sandwich at Starbucks and enjoyed the peace and quiet of my room.
Staff were generally helpful and pleasant, can't fault their service. Planned to use the pool in the evenings after conference meetings but it is surrounded by the bar and restaurant so I wasn't going to don a swimsuit (!) and swim laps in front of colleagues. The pool deck is very small but part is shaded and it would have been very nice located in a more private area.
The Cafe del Sol offers a reasonably priced breakfast buffet. There are shuttles to Disneyland, an easy walk to the convention center. With the Hilton across the street and Sheraton on the corner there are other dining options in easy walking distance.
Not worth more than $150 per night but not a bad stay for less than that to attend a convention.
