We stayed at the Marriot for visit and the Clarion for P/U-- dictated by the agency. The Clarion was cleaner, the rooms nicer-- all suite set-up so you have a seperate BR. The downside is their lack of grounds. We never used the pool at the Marriot but it was great to wonder around outside and through the lobby. If our agency had not had a family room (everyone got a key and it was fully stocked with toys, books, food, etc and families could hang out there when tired of their own room) I think I might have gone crazy at the Clarion. If you stay at the Marriot remember to wear your flip flops-- first time I've ever had black feet bottoms at a hotel!
