    "Traveling with a family the room is large but there is zero privacy in the room. The bathroom and shower rooms have sliding doors that don’t even shut all the way. These sliding doors are opaque glass so as soon as a light is on it lights up the room. I’ve seen some bad breakfasts before but this was very low level for a marriot. I should have known it wasn’t going to be a good experience with the complimentary earplugs at the front desk. The clerk couldn’t even be bothered to tell me my room..."
