This was the hotel booked by our bride and groom friends. Their excellent taste in each other carried over to their choice of this property. The staff was friendly and the amenities were ample. The view of the buttes from the fitness center almost made me forget I was on a treadmill. We enjoyed a few hours of cool sunshine by the rambling pool area. Even numbered rooms look in to the pool area and up to the lobby and Top of the Rock restaurant. Odd numbers face I-10 and the mountains in the distance. Our even numbered room on the third level was just below the pool deck, and that was a nice quiet place. A few reviews of this Marriott mentioned the excessive walking from building to building. It seemed like any large resort hotel and was not a problem for us. We are still wondering why guests pay $10 per night to self park in a lot with ample spaces.... We would stay here again.
