Great service. Dated facilities.

The staff service was outstanding. Location is easy to access off the highway, but far enough away that is is quiet. The rooms are ok with a nice kitchen, but the furnishings were very old and worn. The fitness center had only 2/5 treadmills and 0/3 elliptical functional.
Run down

When we arrived, the thermostat in our room was broken. Maintenance couldn’t repair it. They told us they could not move us because the hotel was sold out so we were without heat for four days. The room smelled musty and moldy. As one walked around the property you saw deep cracks in the cement on the third floor joints and pipes covered in duct tape. Someone put soap in the Jacuzzi so it foamed over our entire stay. All the washers and dryers were broken. One of the air intake vents was covered in mold (see picture). Lines for free breakfast were insanely long.
Watch out, they might try to scam you.

Hotel is dated and somewhat shabby. Breakfast was the typical "free" breakfast, no better no worse. No elevator, a low rise building, 2 stories. No maid service over Christmas, but that was explained when I checked in, I understood. But after I checked out and got a final bill, which was correct, I received an e mail with a revised bill that charged me $75 Pet cleaning fee. I didn't have any pet with me. How do I prove a negative to them? I've called twice, the second time talked to the front desk clerk who was very snippy with me, and refused to take the charge off my bill. She indicated she has to talk to someone to know why it was put on there. WHAT? How about just screwing with your customers and adding charges they can't prove or disprove after they leave.
Great service

Location, rooms and atmosphere was great! Front desk and HSK was very friendly. Very safe and quiet area! Great place to relax at affordable price!
terrible property

wow. what a surprise to have such a bad experience at a marriott property. not kept up. poor communication and customer service. we booked for 6 nights and the fitness center had 12 of 14 cardio pieces broken. no signs, front desk people didn’t have a clue. i was told “rowdy guests” broke them?? really ? all 12 pieces- find it hard to believe. laundry facilities also broken. needed repair with no date to fix. we were told to go next door to the courtyard to use the washer dryer there. Paid good $$ for 6 nights and very disappointed. even upon check in i specifically asked about the fitness center and the the check in person failed to say that nothing was working. had to go and check each machine one at a time. waste of time. I would NOT recommend this franchise. there are a ton of places we could have stayed- next time skip this one
