Description: The 17-story Marriott towers over the Uptown restaurant and shopping district and has 405 rooms and 6 suites. Recently renovated guest rooms are tastefully decorated, with floor-to-ceiling windows looking toward the city or mountains. Furnishings include 32” LCD HDTVs with connectivity boxes and cotton-rich linens and down comforters. There’s a lobby bar, and the Cielo Sandia restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, serving American and regional cuisine, including steak and fish from the grill. You can lounge peacefully by the sleek indoor and outdoor pool areas or get more energetic in the fitness center. The Marriott has a full-service business center. In-room Internet access is available for a fee of $11.95 per day but is complimentary in concierge-level rooms and for gold and platinum members. Concierge rooms, at a slightly higher rate, also include access to a lounge with complimentary continental breakfast and other snacks and benefits. Weekend room rates at the Marriott are steeply reduced. While booking it’s worth comparing the price of standard and concierge-level rooms, as the higher rates may work in your favor if you take advantage of the concierge extras.
