Nice site. And for once, a hotel actually trys to show pictures of the rooms, which is great.
Not-so-great is the usability. Links are small and hard to spot. Most are black text within black text. Finding the > View details stuff for rooms can be tricky. But the overall effect is good. Perhaps I missed something, but how did Marriott break the mold? By putting together a sexy java-based homepage instead of a more conventional gallery? The booking engine is pretty standard, the content is pretty standard. They maintain their blog, but I couldn't care less about a Marriott blog - when I go to a hotel website, I want to know about rates, availability, and any discounts they'll extend. Although I like the site, it didn't exactly make me pee in my pants. So tell me why I should be impressed.
