We traveled to Evansville for an overnight stay before going to the LST Memorial the following morning. My wife and I, our 19-month-old daughter, and my 78-year-old dad (who served on an LST in the Korean War) shared a one-bedroom suite.

The hotel is bit tucked away, off the main exit behind some restaurants. We actually couldn't see it coming from the north on I-164. If this is your first visit to the hotel, I recommend taking directions.

We experienced a very warm welcome and quick check-in at the desk. I noticed right away it was a busy evening as people were using all the hotel's amenities - pool, fitness room, even the grill outside. We opted to settle in our room to let our daughter play and order in pizza. Had we wanted to venture out, it was a short walk to Texas Roadhouse, Cracker Barrel, Cheeseburger in Paradise, and a short drive to about anything else we might have wanted.

The room was what I've come to expect from this chain. Roomy, clean, and filled with features that help when traveling with a toddler. We were able to make her dinner with the in-room microwave and stored her milk in the full-size fridge. When it came time for her to go to bed, we put her in the bedroom in her crib and relaxed in the living area of the room.

We were among the first to breakfast the next morning. Again, it was what I've come to expect from the chain. All the standard continental breakfast options were present along with a small hot food selection (eggs, biscuits, sausage, gravy) and a waffle maker. After breakfast we took a walk around the small pond outside the hotel and let our daughter visit the ducks living there.

We took advantage of the noon checkout and got a quick nap before heading to the LST. Overall, another good experience from a reliable chain that suits our family needs better than other selections.

we had a wonderful stay in evansville,, close restraunts.... staff was terrific and very helpful room was very clean house keeping did a great job... we stayed three nights breakfast was better than most hotels hot food as well as cold food we would stay again

We came to a Wedding in Evansville and rather than take a long drive back the same night we stayed there upon suggestion from the Wedding planner. We could have not ask for a more perfect room, it was clean, staff was very polite, made fresh coffee in lobby for us upon a 9pm arrival...Windows gave you a great look at a lake in front with geese and duck and a nice paved walking trail around it. Fireplace in room gave it a really cozy feel too.

If you are wanting a room with a fireplace, be sure to ask when making reservation. The one bedroom suites do not have a fireplace as the info on the Mariott home pages leads you to believe. However they do have a few guest rooms and 2 bedroom suites that do have. It's a little hard to get to, but well worth going around the block for.
