Our stay was good. However, housekeeping did not clean our room one of the days we were there in the Mariott. That was kind of annoying.

Did you sleep in that morning?  You might have been at the beginning of their rounds so they skipped you if you were still in.  You would have had to call the front desk to request that housekeeping go back or just talk to the housekeepers themselves if you saw them in the hallway.  A good way to make sure they always come back to turn your room is to leave a small tip for them every day.

Stayed at Marriot and except for the elevator issues on Monday morning, my stay was very good.  Only two minor complaints:

1. Jr.Suite smelled like the previous occupants were smokers.  Smell was strong but for someone that doesn't smoke, you could tell it was there.  Smell was strong enough to stick to my clothes that were hanging in my closet.

2. NO WIRELESS INTERNET IN THE ROOMS THEMSELVES?!?!  Only in the lobby.  What's that all about?  You're a business class hotel next to a convention center?!?!  Not even third party providers were an option.

With that said, a couple of cool things:

1. Leroy from FanimeCon housing = awesome dude.  Had allot of questions and requests for a noob con attendee but Leroy was professional and courteous from the start.  Gave me several accommodation options and was patient with me.

2. Marriot staff = awesome as well.  Front desk got me checked in at 12pm instead of the normal 3pm.  Housekeeping hooked me up with extra blanket's, pillows and tried to help out with smoke smell of the room. Valet helped me out with my parking issue when I ended up parking in the convention parking instead of the Marriot parking the first two days (I was there Fri-Mon).

3. Marriot connected to the convention center.  What can I say...two thumbs up!
