Im not sure what is going to be on the ground floor of the Marriot, but the first floor should be a podium of retail, with the upper 5 as hotel, setback slightly. At least it is being built right up to the sidewalk.

I think it will be a The Keg steakhouse.
On the street level this hotel is quite urban but on the skyline perspective, it could be better. Like I said, it will be a great addition for downtown Moncton nevertheless. Moreover with the courthouse and specially with the convention center project, this hotel will be necessary.
