Other than the fact the signage says Courtyard By Marriott and we drove around the block 2 times looking for The Little Italy, we had to walk inside and ask the front Desk is this the Little Italy!!! The Marriott should put out a Sandwhich Board that states new ownership now the Courtyard, saw several people walking around aimlessly and spoke to several Guest they had the same issues

I have so many things to say. I booked my reservation on June 29th. By time I got to the hotel (August 9th), there were so many changes made without any prior notices. The entire building was/is under construction. The front entrance is now on the side of the building, so uber pickup was atrocious. And inside they’re promoting all of their amenities, however none of them were available. There was no gym, no pool, no conference room… on top of all of that, the Wi-Fi was not working, so I had to Uber to the library every day to work. The lobby was overcrowded during different periods of the day because that was literally the only place open and available to guests at the time, which was also under constructio. Hallways were unfinished. And you could hear hammering and drilling during the morning time from your room! The random fire alarm tests affected my ability to work from inside of my hotel room. And the list goes on… since then, they have taken down all of their amenity photos and previous photos of what the hotel rooms looked like. Everything is a rendered photo currently. I can tell that when they’re done with the renovations, the place will look great, however, this was such a letdown and poor experience. When I spoke to the front desk about it, the lady advise that she would get in touch with Expedia to update their listing. It’s updated now, however, I wish that notices to upcoming reservations were made to guests. This way I would’ve had time to find another hotel.
