This is a very well appointed place with very courteous staff and good sized rooms. The breakfast is very pukka also with a range of proper food (ie not like many of the Days Inn type cereal, milk, coffee and that's your lot) including some Kosher items. I was very satisfied overall and would certainly return here, as well as recommend it.

I was truly disappointed in this hotel. I love suite hotels in general, and am a great fan of springhill and homewood type hotels, but this particular hotel was well below mariott standards.

First off, beware that there are 2 types of King suite (non-spa) rooms when you check in. One of them is significantly larger (maybe 50 sqft, big in a hotel room). The larger king suite has a desk between the bed and the window / air conditioner. This is critical. We had a whole party come over to MN for a wedding, and a lot of us had the larger king suite, and some of us had the smaller king suite where there was only 2 feet or so between the bed and the window. All for the same price. The horrible thing about the smaller suite is that the air con is so close to the bed, it doesn't blow indirectly in the room, it blows in your face. I've stayed in motels with better sleep quality than this.

The mattresses in this hotel are old spring mattresses. You can feel the lumps and the dislocated springs. I had shoulder pain after my second night. The bed is listed as a King, but it isn't really a king. It's closer to a queen.

Service was bad. Our bathroom sink drained slow to begin with, but after the 2nd night, it was too slow to bear. We called the front desk to send someone up to take a look while we were out for the day, but upon returning, the sink is unchanged. Also, upon returning, our keys would not work, since they "expired". I've never had that happen at a hotel before, which meant we had to go back down to the lobby, wait in line, and get our keys reactivated.

The door to the pool also would not open for key cards, even though we tried during the pool hours. We had to get someone from the front desk to open the pool door for us.

The breakfast area was way too small for the size of the hotel. There's no where to sit, and its almost impossible to get the food without bumping into people.

Of the few positives, the standards in the suite-class of hotel are there. Microwave, fridge, sitting area, wireless internet.

My advice to you travellers is to pay an extra 5 dollars and stay at homewood suites (by hilton) down the road.

Walking in at 9pm we were greeted by a smiling face. Happy smiling face.
Our room was exceptionally clean, large, and new.
Breakfast was much better than most free breakfasts. Offering much more than just the normal.
More smiles at we checked out.
Highly recommended.

Our room had 2 king beds and a sofa sleeper so there was room for 6 to sleep. The mini fridge and microwave saved alot on eating out. There was a great breakfast each morning. The kids enjoyed the pool. There was a grill available for use on the outside patio and we had a cookout one evening with a large group of friends. The only problem we had was one evening we returned and our cards would not open our room. The hotel's master key did not work either. The hotel had to call in a technician (on a holiday and late at night) to reprogram our door to enable us to get in. The hotel was kind and gave us that evenings night stay free. I did realize that once we did get in our room that it was obvious housekeeping hadn't been able to get in our room either that day and must not have reported to anyone that our door was not working. I talked to the staff at the front desk and they agreed that if housekeeping would have notified the desk when they couldn't get in, they could have had the problem fixed before we even got back, so they credited us another night's stay. We were very pleased with the service we received and we would definitely stay there again!
