I guess they choose when and when not to be a Marriott hotel when it's convenient
Yeah...BUT i will say that the last time i stayed there, Hmm 3years ago or so...the place was in really bad shape..I was in literally 10 rooms that were all either falling apart or dirty or REALLY noisy (you can hear the subway ALL OVER that place, but some of the rooms were awful) or had a crappy view....
So....the FOM showed me one last room...a 2BR, 2 Bath suite that was HUGE! mom and i 'sucked it up' there! And, we couldn't stop Room service from bringing us free crap...wine, cheese, cookies, fruit...holy cow!
Kicker is, the suite was also in REALLY bad shape! the next time we went up was the 'strike'.
Last year, i went over for a tour...they supposedly redid the place...yeah right. Wallpaper, carpet and soft goods...the old, dented, scratched falling apart furniture was STILL there...
i can see no reason for that mess to continue being called a Marriott.....
