I am scheduled with Dr. Garcia for Feb.16th, hopefully I won't have to push it back a week.... I am also wating on ITR $.

Anyone have a comment on the Marriott?

I really enjoyed my stay there - but the popsicles were beyond strange (vinegar-flavor?) and the front desk became way less friendly toward end of my stay. They argued about wifi being included in room rate or an extra charge.

Loved the bed and travertine tile.

They argued?

I'm having a band to sleeve revision jan 31st!!

Initially wifi password was same for a week. Then they started changing it daily.

I went to front desk for the new password. The gal there acted like it was a favor to not charge me. Sort of "just this once" they will let me slide. Up to that point I was in love with the hotel.

I checked in this morning and so far so good. I did have to pay an extra $8 for WiFi log on for my mom, the included code you get is only good for one iPad/computer to log on. It wasn't a big deal for me, but can see how the misrepresentation of "wifi included" would definitely annoy others. The room service has been very attentive, we had them stock the in room refrigerator with waters and soda (for my mom). Haven't tried the Popsicles since Rosie told me not to have one tonight, I will definitely be trying some post op though! The broth downstairs was pretty good too. Guess we will see how things go when it is time to check out . Checking in to the hospital tomorrow!

The hotel is very nice though, incredibly clean and the beds are very comfortable! The bathroom is super nice

Good luck in ur new adventure!!!:-)
