Does parking cost the same at both?
I haven't done the Marriott but just finished up at the AC...really nice stay, I said elsewhere I think this is my favorite legacy Marriott brand.
Obviously no lounge at the AC, and the AC gym is pretty bare bones. And that Marriott does seem to be renovated with the newer room aesthetic.
I love the AC style though - I had a car ($20 to park in the garage next door, $30 to valet) but I ended up walking to my place of business a block away, and walking to Starbucks across the street, and walking to Houston's / North Italia for meals. The mini-complex across the street is pretty nice.
I expensed all my meals so just took the $10 daily credit to get other snacks, better deal intrinsically vs. a few points.
