Question Marriott Questions

I am planning on making a visit trip in June, and have a few of questions for those who have stayed at the Marriott.

1. I understand that you can rent a stroller there, has anybody had any problems renting?

2. Does the Marriott have Connecting rooms? I will be traveling with my parents and think that 2 connecting rooms would be more confortable than the Suites.

3. Has anybody ever had a problem getting a crib?

Thanks

I don't have info about the stroller rental, but we had no problem getting a crib. We stayed in a "quality room" there was a connecting door to the next room but we did not use it.
hope this helps and have a wonderful trip!

Marriott

Hi Lisa. The crib was not a problem at all for either of my trips there. But they were out of strollers on my first trip. I think they only have a couple. You may want to call ahead....see if they'll set one aside.....so I brought my own the second trip, and was glad to have it.

I don't know about the stroller because I took one and left it for the Foster Family...I don't expect to get it back.

I didn't have any problem getting a crib.

I definitely recommend two regular rooms vs. the suite since the pull out sofa bed was really uncomfortable in the jr. suite which is where I stayed on the first visit.

When we were there last fall, they would rent a stroller for $10/day. I don't know how many they had though.

Four out of five trips we had no problem getting a crib, but when we picked up Lauren for some reason they had run out. A very kind person gave us their's after the first night because her daughter would not sleep in it (and Lauren wouldn't sleep anywhere else!) I am not sure there is anything you can do about it ahead of time though. We had requested one when we made the reservation, but still didn't get one when we got there on that trip.

I stayed at the Marriott twice, and they didn't have available strollers either time. so I definitely wouldn't count on it! Bring your own. By the way, I specifically asked them on the phone to reserve a stroller for my daughter, and they said it wasn't possible to reserve. That sometimes they have a few, and sometimes - not. It was just a matter of luck.

I had no trouble getting a crib, both times.

No experience with the connecting rooms, sorry.

Have a wonderful trip!

Monica

The crib was not a problem both times that I was there. We did have trouble though getting a stroller. I do not think that they have very many. I would recommend bringing your own since they are very hard to find once you get there. Have fun!
