Aww, that's not fair. Marriott has some very nice high end properties, and you can find "romance" where you want it. Believe it or not one of our most memorable anniversary dinners took place at a Marriott. In Anaheim. I had read about this special table that was totally secluded from any other part of the restaurant (and not a Chef's table where you hear the clanging in the kitchen) but really our own private alcove. At a Marriott. In Anaheim. Hotel is still there but that table doesn't exist anymore.

However, I wish the OP listed his location, I'm sure he's been to everyplace close to where he lives, but we have no idea where that is.
