5 star price; not a 5 star hotel

This is a dressed up Marriott and a great option for a suburban stay. However, it is not worth $400 per night. For that price I would expect a more upscale experience. Minimal travel size toiletries are provided and no robes. We ordered room service and it was delivered in a to go paper bag and plastic containers. Worst of all the walls were paper thin. Our neighbor must have been ill and we heard them all night and morning. Overall it’s a nice place to stay, but the price doesn’t match the quality especially considering there is a Doubletree downtown for half the price.

I’m sorry, but a high-end hotel should offer feather pillows. For the half percent of people that have allergies to feathers your pillows were absolutely horrendous. Such a beautiful property but so completely uncomfortable to sleep. Do you want to be a high-end hotel offer high-end amenities, and one of those is a high-end feather pillow.

This room was spacious and comfortable. Bed was amazing. View of the lake was incredible. We had a corner room so there was plenty of light. Using your key on the elevator helped make me feel safe. Cafe and bar on site was really nice. The room we ordered wasnt available before we arrived and they called to find out what which otger room met with our needs. Because of this they compted our breakfast. That was about a $40 comp! BTW: breakfast prepare by chef and service in a nice dining area. I would live to stay here again.
