"A huge, 1,148-room hotel that opens into a mall and connects to a convention center, the Marriott appears impersonal and uninviting." Full review
Star Service

Avoid the “Britney Spears” room – designed by her mother, it looks as you would expect the singer’s childhood room to look, complete with pink bible and fairy statuettes.
