Walls are a little thin. I could hear everything going on in the hallway or the guy throwing up in the next door bathroom. But all in all it was very nice place and would stay there again.

I stayed at this property when it was under its previous ownership which seemed much more appropriate than Marriott. Rooms are TINY, windows single pane and right next to railroad track. Pool seemed nice - didn't have time to go in but all other facilities and amenities off site. So given the price......

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was really nice! The room was tiny, the bathroom missing a hanger, the bunk bed was extremely dangerous, two loose handles, ladder slide off and the steps hurt the kid feet when climbing up/down, and when the bed down, the sharp corners if not careful will split someone head/face, and one of the closer door came loose! The property was also under construction so… Way over price and a very dangerous stay.

This is NOT a hotel, not even a B&B and shouldn’t be listed on this site. No food service, no staff onsite after 21:00 and excruciatingly expensive. A complete Scam.

Great property! Staff was super friendly and helpful. Everything was clean always. Very good location can walk anywhere. My only complaint is not actual closet to hang clothes. Very small room. But otherwise a great spot!
