Having stayed at both Marriott and Hilton back-to-back this past November, I think each has its strengths and weaknesses. For the first timer, Marriott's location right on Florida Street is FABULOUS. The lounge was very good. We were upgraded to a junior suite--but nothing can compare with the gorgeous junior suite we enjoyed at the Hilton. And the Hilton facility overall is stunning. But the Hilton is slightly off center, albeit surrounded by some excellent restaurants.
