AC Hotels by Marriott Hotels in Greenville

Pros: This is a lovely hotel. It is beautifully designed. Aesthetically very pleasing. Great location. Easily accessed self-parking (18 per day). Close to nice restaurants. The beds are comfortable as well as the linens. There are USB ports and outlets beside the bed. There is a useful small fridge. There are some small amenities kits like q tips/emery boards. Towels are ok. Bathroom is spacious and modern. Shower, even though I dislike waterfall was good. The staff is unfailingly polite, although at check out the staff person was not as friendly as we had come to expect. The breakfast (we booked the bed and breakfast rate) was excellent, one of the best hotel buffets I have had, with a large variety of foods, including cheeses and charcuterie, perhaps because of the European based businesses in the area. Cons: The functionality of the hotel room was lacking. We were in room 233 and had constant loud traffic noise all day and into the evening. There is no overhead lighting in the bedroom. There are several lamps, but their light didn't illuminate as much as needed after the sun went down. The very modernly designed toilet's flush push button kept sticking and the toilet bowl needed to take a cue from the Toto self-cleaning surface. The holder for the hairdryer was coming out of the wall. There is maid service only every other day so if you are staying 2 nights you must call if you need extra coffee or cups (only one day supply is in the room to start), toilet tissue or an extra washcloth. There is a really small clothes storage area that is also right next to the iron and board. I just left the board and iron out so as not to have to crumple the clothes. There is a small coffee maker, but you must take it from next to your clothes to the desk to plug in. There is loud music played in the hotel in the hall on the floor to parking and in the breakfast area. The window seats in the breakfast area are uncomfortably low. One guest was observed taking a cushion from another chair and sitting on it. Again, the design is lovely but the function not so good. So, it was a lovely hotel with a great breakfast and comfy beds but for the price we will not be back (we travel about 6 weeks a year, so we have stayed in many hotels).
