When arriving the exterior looked nice as well as the lobby. Check in as a breeze and the staff was very nice. That is where nice ended though. The room completely sucked! We had a large suite that was literally not equipped with anything. Two paper cups for the whole room. The fridge would not go below 45 with is not good safe. The room looked like they spent as little money possibly on the remodel and was not up to Marriott standards at all! I have stayed in Marriott’s in shady parts of town off the interstate that put this place to shame. The absolute worst was the bathroom. I’ve seen nicer bathrooms at campgrounds, it was totally unacceptable for such a price and nice area. Then when we thought it could not get worse the fire pit smoke outside the room was coming in when the heat was on so we woke up out headaches and all out stuff smelling like smoke.

The staff were so sweet. Walking in the candle they had burning smelled amazing and the entire place made you feel like you were home. In the room they had music playing and everything felt so cozy. The staff really went above and beyond in making our stay amazing and told us places that we should check out. The kettle for tea or coffee in the morning was so cute and did a wonderful job of providing much needed caffeine. The scents of the soaps were also nice and cozy without being over powering. Everything was so perfect and I cant wait to return.

It was quiet and peaceful there. Front desk personnel (saw in the evening’s) were always friendly to tell of what events were happening. Beds were horrible though. No chairs in the room. Very small space.
