Colindad and timestamp...you guys don't have your locations listed so it's hard to tell, literally and figuratively, where people are "coming from" when they post.

We also stayed at the Hilton Marco Island many years ago and liked it very much. Never stayed at the Marriott so can't compare. Bigger is not always better. We didn't find Marco Island boring because it was a rest break from doing a lot of sightseeing on the west coast of Florida.
