Had an amazing time here as we had our training , the Front Desk Staff / Manager John and property GM Joe is beyond words. If we find anything missing or needs to be done they get it done right away. There is ample parking and Gas Station / Restaurants are just a 10 minute walk. Overall very satisfied with their Service. Just one thing missing unlike other properties they don’t have a Buffet Breakfast, you need to wait in a queue to order your breakfast. Hope they fix this issue.

We got in at 2 a.m., the room we had had clearly not been cleaned. I went to the desk and John was able to get us a new room. The location was right off the interstate which was nice. The rooms were OK for what it was. The elevator was a little jumpy. They had a Starbucks in the lobby and a cute seating area. We didnt check out the pool but did learn they do not have a hot tub. Outside had a cute fireplace and chairs. We had a suite which included a balcony. The staff was friendly and accommodating.

4.5 stars Painless check in. Clean room and comfortable beds. The shower had nice water pressure and were also clean. Elevator didn't work so had to go to the other on other side of hotel. Starbucks in lobby for breakfast which was delicious.

My wife and I stayed here for three nights after getting married on Friday. Everything we wanted and needed was taken care of by front office and support staff. It really felt like a blessing to stay here. Once everyone knew that we were getting married and having a mini staycation, they bent over backwards to make us feel welcome, and we didn't need to worry about anything because it was already being taken care of. When we checked out on Sunday, someone even opened the Starbucks counter to make us coffees even though the counter had already closed after we had woken up and were packing to leave. This will forever be our go-to place if we need to bring the boys to swim in the pool and get away for a weekend. It is truly an exceptional experience to stay here and be cared for in the way in which we were.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! From the moment I arrived, everything was smooth, clean, and comfortable. The room was spotless, the bed was super cozy, and all the amenities were just what I needed for a relaxing stay. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the incredible service—especially from John. He went above and beyond to make sure I felt welcome and taken care of. John’s warmth and professionalism truly made a difference. I highly recommend this hotel, and if you’re lucky enough to be helped by John, you’re in great hands!

My Daughter picked out this hotel for my Birthday. I checked in Friday February 20th, till Sunday February 22nd, 2026. My Stay was only perfect because of the Manager Mr.John, and Mrs.Gail. Mr.John, I had the best experience with him. If it wasn't for Mr.John, I would of had left Friday night. He went above, and beyond to make me happy as a customer. I have never been to that hotel, and he made my experience great!!! I wish they could "Clone" him! He moved to me to another room, due to some one next to me that was making a lot of noise. He made sure I had something to eat Saturday evening, due to the Bistro being closed. He is also one of the sweetest people that you will ever want to meet! He should be promoted to, General Manager, IJS. The other staff needs some tweeking, to say the least. Mrs.Gail, was very nice, and sweet! She was very welcoming! I adore Mr.John, and he is a awesome Manager! That hotel would be absolutely lost without him, to say the least! The hotel needs some upgrades, and better staff like Mr.John. The pictures doesn't reflect what the rooms really look like. If you want a great experience, from a Great Manager/ Human being. Ask for Mr.John! He will make sure that you are treated with Care, and, Kindness! And that your stay is memorable Thank you, Mr.John!!! YOU ROCK!!!!!

*READ THIS POST IF YOU WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE WORKERS THEMSELVES- NOT THE ROOMS* So this is a bit of a different review. I didn’t stay here overnight, but I did in fact come here when I needed help. I lived down the street at the time and my cat had gotten out. I was devastated and started going nearby to different hotels/restaurants/shops in the area to ask for help looking for him. This place was one of my first stops. I was clearly shaken up. I spoke to a man at the front desk who took my information and was welcoming with open arms. He was very attentive and even allowed me to search their immediate space/hang up signs. 6 hours later I found myself back here searching some more after attempted fails with finding my cat. As I was searching, the front desk man and a few workers popped out to speak to me. I was informed by said man that him and all his workers were on the lookout for my cat. He said he had communicated to his fellow coworkers of the situation and told them to make it a top priority when able. I truly felt overly supported. It meant a lot to me (I did find my cat right by there!!!!) but overall it spoke a TON about the workers. I went to other hotels right alongside them and this one stood out to me the most. They showed me they weren’t just a company and workers who got paid to be there, but they were human beings that truly cared about others. If I ever considered staying ANYWHERE for a quick trip in the area again, I would 1000% choose here. Again, I never truly stayed in a room to be frank, but the workers themselves stood out to me a lot that day; and in a great way.

I stayed here for 10 days. I had a great stay at the courtyard. John, one of the hotel managers, was absolutely fantastic!!!! He made me feel very welcome. John definitely made my stay at the Marriott even more delightful! The only negative thing that I experienced was from the ladies that worked with housekeeping that could speak English during my 10 days stay there I would overhear The ladies working in housekeeping(the American ones) gossip and speak ill of the guest that we’re staying there. which I thought was extremely distasteful! Although the other housekeepers were absolutely awesome.
