My recent stay at The Marlborough Hotel was a mixed experience. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the historic Burton Cummings Theater. While the front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, some aspects of the room left much to be desired. I enjoyed the clean restaurants and welcoming bar, but the overall condition of the room and the lack of proper amenities were disappointing.
