"staff was very nice. Abby especially was so helpful. The hotel itself is dirty. Rooms smell
like mold ( even tried to switch us) pool was dirty and trash all around. Hot tub did not work. no ice bucket. no microwave. We actually left and got a full refund. The staff was very nice and helpful and did the best they could with what they had to work with."
"A year in advance I purchased and paid in full for a 5 day stay for my daughter’s dance competition. Then without notice they canceled my entire reservation without notification, due to me arriving late. I was told this upon arrival. Marriot did not have any rooms available, there were no other hotels in the area available, had to wait to get my money refunded and dish out more money to rebook at a higher rate. Very inconvenient."
"The room and bathroom clumps of hair in the bathroom. There are nuts, flying all around our room. The sheets were dirty, and there were hair found all throughout the room."
"Property was clean and well taken care of. Room was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast was good too all but could use a few more options. Staff was very friendly and courteous. We had driven down to see a concert in the area and it got cancelled due to weather until next day, we were happy and relieved they could accomodate us for an extra night. Parking lot is well lit at night as well."
"Excellent as always. Rooms and property are always spotless clean. Shower, A/C and tv work properly as always. FYI me and my family went to another (different) hotel this night and was absolutely disgusted buy it’s lack of cleanness. About 15 minutes later at 8:30 at night we re-booked at Escape, and as always we were thrilled with everything. Will not be staying anywhere else again!!"
