Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was very friendly, efficient and courteous. Room was clean, however, the layout of the accessible shower/bath was not well thought out. Soap/shampoo/conditioner containers were behind the handicapped seat and too high up to use without standing, thereby risking a fall. Breakfast was good with plenty of choices.

This area was convenient, safe and parking near entrance. In addition to all amenities, pool, gym, and hot tub, the hot breakfast was excellent. The staff was amazing. We left a souvenior hoodie in the room. A staff member called us and mailed it to us. It even had the $20 still on the pocket. After this experience we decided to join Marriott Bonvoy.
