We were attending a wedding and this was the hotel that the wedding party was using for overnight accommodations and the reception. Why I will never know. When we first walked in, my comment was: "this smells like an old Best Western". My wife said, "No, it smells like a nursing home". The only reason that this hotel is still... More

Located on the St. Vincent Hospital campus, this was the obvious choice when I needed to be close to my daughter who was a patient at St. Vincent. The staff is incredibly courteous and helpful. The rooms are large and I had a small refrigerator and a microwave that came in handy for my extended stay. I didn't have a... More

We used the Marten House Hotel and Conference Center for an event and the service we received was well below par. In addition the carpets were stained in the room we used and the chairs were in poor condition. No one was there to greet us or show us to the room or answer questions when we arrived and to... More

This hotel is on the campus of St. Vincent's Medical Center and is uniquely situated for anyone visiting the hospital (there is a shuttle from the hotel to the hospital). Marten House is very reasonably priced and as a result there aren't some perks a traveler might expect (shampoo comes in a packet) but my room had a refrigerator and... More

I attended a 2-day conference in November 2010 at this hotel. I didn't stay at the hotel, but I tried to -- it was completely booked when I checked about a month before the conference. I really wish I had been able to stay there, as it looked better than where I ended up finding a room, and it would... More

I found the Marten house safe, comfortable and the staff at the front desk were all very amiable and helpful. My room was basic but comfortable, if you want a luxury hotel, then look somewhere else but I needed a refrigerator for my insulin and the staff pre-assigned my room so that I had what I needed. I was there... More

This was a horrible experience. The hotel is old and run down, management and front desk associates are ignorant and have no clue what is going on. Pool in very poorly maintained. Have to pay 75 cents just to make a local call (how stupid is that), also $6.95/24hrs for wireless internet that is as slow as a turtle. Took... More

TERRIBLE !! I reserved two rooms for four nights. My husband was having surgery at St. Vincent's. The rooms were clean but so old. The rooms didn't have a desk or any other frills. The beds were awfull!! They were not very friendly. After the first night they rented out one of the rooms that I had reserved for my... More

Stayed for four nights for the F1 Grandprix,thought that the rooms were dark and dull.Beds were well used and not very comfortable,there was olso a damp smell from the carpets.Moved to another hotel (La Quinta airport) out of the darkness and into the light !! Would not recommend the Marten House, better hotels and rates elsewhere.
