Marriott Hotel - Downtown DeLand

It seemed that they making update to staff were having a little bit of change of people working there, which made for little bit of a unpleasant experience. I was going to try and check in early. Luckily I did not. When I showed up to check in about 2 hours past My check-in time. My room was still not ready. I had to wait for them to finish cleaning up about 45 minutes. It was at this time that I found out that the bar was not open and the restaurant part of the hotel was not open due to staffing shortages. And also that I would not be able to get breakfast. Which later come to find out? I was able to get breakfast I have to say for Having to Starbucks in there and this being a Marriott. My expectations were not met. My egg Sandwich serve to me on a plain hamburger bun it was very disa

Don't fall for the prepaid breakfast ..I thought it was the menu at the bistro wall, but no...as soon you mention the prepaid breakfast, she pulls out a second class citizen menu. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and I got the flattest egg ever with something that looks like bacon , probably cheese or mayo, I'm not sure, and they microwave it for 4 minutes ...it was hotter than asphalt at noon.

Convenient location for exploring old town DeLand on foot, which is why we stayed there. We are Marriott rewards members, so stay at Marriott hotels exclusively. The hotel and room were very clean, modern (their greyscale decor could REALLY use some pops of color though). Housekeeping does a tremendous job! The front desk... eh, not so much. When we were checking in, an older gentleman in front of us was having a bit of trouble getting his credit card to register (not a problem; we were in no hurry) so he took a few minutes. When he turned away, the clerk rolled his eyes in disgust not even trying to be discreet about his exasperation. The room was great; clean, updated bathroom and the air was nice and COOL; but the bed was HARD, not comfortable at all. If a quiet, undisturbed sl

It was worth the wait, DeLand needed a solid downtown hotel and this one delivers. The rooms are spacious, clean and well appointed. The interior room color scheme is calming and the beds are heavenly. There is virtually no noise once your inside your room, we extended our stay by 4 days and spent more time driving to destinations so we could come back here.

This overpriced hotel is unlike any other Marriott. We're loyal to the brand because we trust that we'll find their usual high standards, but this particular property was disappointing. No amenities at all: no maid service, no breakfast bar or happy hour (as advertised on posters in the elevators). The room we had was clean and seemed new, but it was not worth what we were charged (a whopping $350 per night!). It was a very expensive price for the equivalent of a roadside motel. I'm posting this review so others will know that this Marriott is NOT a three-star property. It's time the corporate assessors have a look at this one and bring it up to speed. One star, because I can't give it zero.
