Noisy location, due to HWY 153, no fault of Marriott. Most of audible traffic noise was from apparent "hot rod" type cars, so not constant - maybe hourly. Maybe consider in the future engineering more robust sound-deadening on street-facing rooms. Most of noise seemed to be from windows, though they were double paned, so good effort.
Only other negative was very low flow shower -- about the lowest I've ever experienced. If low pressure, no easy fix.
Certainly would have been a better experience nearer the 2.5gpm but felt more like 1.5gpm -- just as a guess, I have no professional experience but am just using these rates after reading the included article below.

On the positive side:
It is clear a great deal of thought went into many details:
- the kitchenette, with cuphooks and all the main needed pots, pans & dishes to the nifty dishwasher.
- the padded headboards on the bed, which allow it to serve as a make-do couch
- the alarm clock that has numerous AC and USB charging ports (a model with USB-C would be a great upgrade)
- furniture under the TV that serves as TV console AND a desk AND a dining table. A bit of genius!
- organizer shelves in the closet which slide out for easy access.
- shoe holder near the door...
So many thoughtful details that made our stay great.
My daughter and wife said this is the best hotel room we've every stayed in!
Thanks!
