The Marriott in Research Traingle Park is a very nice hotel. It is a smaller-than-normal Marriott hotel (I have a stereotype of large Marriott hotels) but still carries the normal Marriott luxury. We stayed at the Marriott as part of a large group of collegiate football players playing at the NC State football field.

The rooms at the Marriott all are quite different in layout. Some rooms are standard block room with four walls, bathroom and beds. Other rooms have a hallway from the door to the room while other rooms are seemingly quite small.

The meeting facilities are very nice as is the restaurant (the Pork BBQ sandwich was fantastic). The managers are very accomodating and willing to help in any way possible. Parking is adequate as is access to Interstate 40. Some floors require access card but most rooms are accessible to all guests. Speaking of accessibility, our room was a handicap room and was very spacious, including the very nice bathroom.

Some parts of the hotel could use a little renovation (shower-heads are loose, toilet tissue rollers are squeaky) but only in regards to increasing luxury.

Overall, very nice hotel and will stay there again next week when we visit Duke University.
