Check In
Smooth. Acknowledged my Gold status, which is nice. Provided free toothbrush and toothpaste immediately upon my request.
Room
Tastefully appointed to a full-service standard and conducive to either work or rest. Bathroom had sufficient counter space and strong water pressure, though the shower/bathtub needs a better place to keep soap and shampoo.
Desk chair was supremely comfortable. Bed was merely comfortable; the pillows were great but I would've appreciated a thicker duvet and a higher thread count on the sheets.
Service
Mostly good. While the front desk agent who checked me in was warm and cheerful, I observed a second front desk agent appear unhappy and never smile in front of guests.
Dining
Restaurant food was delicious and a great value. Can't say the same for the cocktails, unfortunately. But I very much recommend the eggplant parmesan.
Breakfast buffet had great variety and higher than usual quality, especially in the potatoes and made-to-order eggs. Avoid the "crispy" bacon, which was neither crispy nor flavorful.
Location
Unbeatable, although something feels wrong about $15/day parking in West Virginia.
Overall
This is a very good Marriott, especially for a city of population 50,000. The restaurant was a standout, serves breakfast until late in the morning, and dinner until very late at night.
