Why People Love It

8.5⭐300 reviews
  • Free 24-hour airport shuttle that actually runs on time
  • Heated outdoor pool that stays open year-round
  • Walking distance to reliable chains like LongHorn and Carrabba's

Quick Take: A tired workhorse of a hotel that trades on its location while desperately needing a renovation.

Reviewed by @HotelTourandMore: I honestly loved how stress-free this stay was. The room was huge with a kitchenette that saved me money, and waking up to fresh waffles was the best start to my day. The lake view by the pool was such a nice surprise, too!

Guest Who Stayed Here Said

The hype

Convenient and functional for a layover, but the rooms feel stuck in 2008.

Reality check

The 'clean' rating takes a hit from worn carpets, peeling bathroom vanity edges, and stray hairs found in bathrooms.

  • You need to return a rental car the night before your flight
  • You want a hot breakfast included before a morning departure
  • You are a Marriott loyalist just needing elite night credits

Cleanliness & Maintenance

5.5
  • Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Many guests report 'missed' days even when requested, and trash piling up in hallways.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Major weak point. Watch for hair in the tub, peeling grout, and rust on fixtures.
  • Maintenance: Showing its age. Peeling wallpaper, scuffed furniture, and slow-draining sinks are common.
  • Linens & towels: Standard Marriott quality, but often reported as 'damp' or 'worn thin'.
  • Odors & scents: Frequently described as 'musty' or smelling of 'stale air' and heavy deodorizer.

Before you book

Good to know

  • The airport shuttle runs 24/7 but can fill up; book your slot at check-in.
  • There is no restaurant inside the hotel, only a breakfast area and a small market.
  • Digital Key via the Marriott app works here and lets you bypass the front desk.

What to pack

  • White noise machine or earplugs (essential)
  • Slippers (carpets are worn and feel 'sticky' to some)
  • Your own toiletries (wall-mounted dispensers are often empty or broken)

Room Genie

Best picks

  • Top floor (6th) to avoid hearing footsteps from above
  • End of hallway rooms to minimize foot traffic noise

Rooms to avoid

  • Rooms near the elevator (constant dinging and chatter)
  • Connecting rooms (sound leaks through the door frame)

Room Request Genie – copy & paste

“I am a light sleeper requesting a top-floor room (6th floor) away from the elevators and ice machines. Please ensure I am NOT in a connecting room.”

Insider Tips

  • ✨

    Walk to the nearby Wawa (5 mins) for better coffee and snacks than the hotel market.

  • ✨

    If the hotel shuttle is full, the local bus (Lynx 42) stops nearby and goes to the airport, but an Uber is only ~$15.

  • ✨

    Ask for a 'refurbished' room, though they are rare; most inventory is still the older style.

5 things to know before you go
