Loved the restaurant, pool, courtyard, conference rooms. I can't say enough about this place. Was great for families. Kids can run and play. We will be staying here again.

I also dined at the restaurant and was able to find health salmon over vegetables which was delicious. I opted for the mobile key so I cannot comment on the check in process, other than doing it by my phone. The process was quick and efficient. My phone worked every time I used it to unlock my room which was nice. The bed was extremely comfortable and large. The sheets and pillows also were comfortable, cool and smelled very clean. I had requested additional bath towels and hand towels through the app prior to arrival. These items were waiting for me which I appreciate. Part of the benefits to booking directly with Marriott are that you can communicate with the hotel prior to your arrival. It is great to see that this hotel has adopted this amenity for guests as my requests were attended to prior to arrival. My only complaints about the room are that there is only a blackout curtain which is very heavy and tall making it difficult to close once open. This was rather inconvenient when I was trying to change as it was extremely dark in the room with curtain closed. I would recommend installing a drape and rod to solve this issue. Also, I found it a little weird that the room did not have stationary and/or pens. Finally, my only knock on the hotel in general is that there is not a little store to buy water. This would go a long way. Overall, really nice hotel. I will return and would recommend it.

It’s a little outside of the hustle and bustle of the city and the lake makes for a nice calming view. However some of the amenities being advertised were still in progress and others were talked up larger than they warrant.For instance the spa amenities are limited to a single hot tub that holds about 4-5 people total. The ‘two’ resort style pools are really just two small pools in the same space separated by a wooden bridge — which is comfortable enough but doesn’t afford the degree of pool capacity as it suggests and resulted in a kid-packed pool during the day.Also oddly enough the hotel restaurant and bar close at around 2PM on Sunday, which is not convenient for a one-stop relaxation shop over a weekend.I was able to take advantage of a Memorial Day weekend lull and get decent rates, but it might’ve been a harder sell at a higher price knowing what we know now.

Typically, a young artist performs with a guitar or keyboard, and we have been pleasantly surprised by some incredibly talented vocalists we've encountered during our visits. While the prices are slightly steep, the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. I’ve included a picture to highlight the seating options available.
