SpringHill Suites by Marriott Bridgeport Clarksburg

SpringHill Suites Bridgeport Clarksburg

Pros: I stayed at this hotel because I love design--and because it was new (and the reviews reflected all its good qualities.) First, the design, color, texture choices they made in the rooms were really outstanding (if you're someone who doesn't care about these things--then realize you're probably affected by them without being aware of it!) The bathroom was large and really well put together design-wise, and it had a glass sliding (barn-type) door to close it off. The beds were very comfortable. The couch area was an ample space and the couch doubled as another bed. The desk was everything a desk should be--including spacious and neat. I doubt I'll be back that way, but if I ever am, I would absolutely stay there again! Oh, the front desk staff was outstanding, too. Trent was the best front desk manager I think I've ever met!

Cons: Two things: 1) I absolutely didn't like the waste factor in the dining area--I don't think in 2015 we should even be entertaining the thought of using polystyrene disposable dinnerware. It seems to be standard for hotels in this price point, but I think we should leave disposables in the past. 2) The food quality was standard for this type of hotel (and is pretty horrible), but wish Marriot would go beyond. The only fresh/whole foods were apples, bananas, and possibly basil(?) near the fried pork sausages at the breakfast bar. A lot of people eat a lot healthier than what was available there. Also, not everyone wants to eat meat or dairy--so I wish that there was at least an option to buy a small carton of soy milk. A little thing that I didn't ask the front desk about: The TV glowed at night and I think it was off. There was probably a way to power that off though.
