If you’re an American and staying at this hotel, you’ll likely be checked in around 4 PM. Don’t expect to be checked in early. Marriott is typically good at getting you checked in early, but not this place. We arrived around 11 AM but our room was not ready until 4:15 PM, and there were other American in the same situation. The hotel itself was not busy or booked. As for the location, the hotel is a great location. It’s close to a train station, shops, restaurants, and the waterfront where you can rent bikes and the Seawall.
