Interior of hotel is clean and resort like. Rooms are modern and clean. Restaurant is good for breakfast and lunch,

First of all, I will say that we only paid $85 a night per room with breakfast. So in a certain sense, you get what you pay for. The hotel will claim that a major renovation is underway. I say, big deal. Cleanliness should not depend on a renovation. There was mildew all over our shower and on the shower curtain. See the uploaded photos. I would be interested to see if hotel management responds specifically to these photos with a tripadvisor reply. Acoustics were terrible (in particular very cheap and poor quality room doors) such that we heard everything in the hallways and rooms nearby. In addition, the breakfast buffet was lame and not up to Marriott standards. There were only three kinds of fresh fruit and all were cheap; pineapples, honeydew and watermelon. Muffins and other baked goods were small, stale and unspectacular. There was no omlette chef outside. One had to request omlettes from the kitchen. The only positives were that check in staff made the effort when I called in advance to get us connecting rooms and the bellman offerred to park our car when we came in late. However, do not let these two positive nuggets create the impression that our stay was adequate.

This is an upscale hotel with a lobby bar, marble lobby, and golf store, among other amenities.

The rooms are pretty standard Marriott with those "heavenly beds" stuffed will all kinds of pillows and a soft, pillow-top mattress. Room amenities include plenty of outlets for your electronics, wifi (for a hefty $12.95/day fee), hair dryer, coffee, safe, etc. Pretty much what you'd expect of a place of this caliber.

It is not, however, too fancy as to be formal. You just won't find beach-goers, not too many families, and it will be quiet. It's more of a business hotel than a resort.

In fact, it's just off the freeway so it's pretty convenient to wherever you'd like to go except the beach, if you have or rent a car. I can't see it as a good place to spend a beach vacation as it's a good 5-10 miles to a good beach.

If you golf, this could be nice. It's right near PGA Blvd. and some courses there. The Gardens Mall (upscale) is a very short drive, as are the businesses in the area.

It's pretty suburban, to be sure, so there's not very much unique about the eateries or shopping. Lots of chain stores and restaurants repeat block after block.

Parking is free and they have a shuttle though I'm not sure where it goes. There's very little in walking distance. There's a bus out on PGA Blvd. but it's pretty inconvenient.

Although I like this hotel, it is beginning to wear. It's by no means shabby but here and there it needs a little updating, especially in the rooms. They keep the place immaculate and in good repair but that heavenly bed left me aching by morning. There were body indentations such that you couldn't quite settle correctly.

All in all, for what you pay online, it's quite a good value. If you walk in and pay the rack rate, well, it's way overpriced, but then again that's what keeps it from becoming a weigh-station or pit stop for a carload of kids with the parents.

I'd stay again.

We stayed one night here in early January. The place seemed clean and everyone was very friendly. It could use some updating, but overall a great value for the price. We were supposed to have a crib and fridge in the room, which weren't there, but they brought them up quickly after calling. The woman in the concierge level was very nice and friendly. I think I would stay again if visiting the area.
