We will visit your facility again hopefully get a room with a hot shower.
Pros:

Location was easy access and the breakfast was exceptional with a variety of selections.

Cons:

We had no hot water with which to take a shower. There was hot water from the bathroom sink but no hot water into the tub with which to take a shower or bath.

Little older than expected
Pros:

The hotel was much older than expected and our room was very small. For the price I paid and the Marriott name I had expected newer accommodations and a larger room. The staff was great, bed comfortable and breakfast was good.

Our Just OK stay
Pros:

Beds were comfortable

Having the little store on site was convenient

Lots of restaurants nearby and stores as well ( Walmart)

Room was comfortable as was lobby area and TV in room was good

Cons:

Lack of variety at breakfast and at the small store on site. Products were not being restocked or replenished.

The ladder for the pool was unsafe. ( step was loose ) too much spacing between steps. ( we did report this)

The hot tub. Was warm, but all the jets except 1 were NOT working.

We expected a lot more since it was a Marriott property and it was disappointing

Customer service was OK, but could have been better

Pros:

This area was convenient, safe and parking near entrance. In addition to all amenities, pool, gym, and hot tub, the hot breakfast was excellent. The staff was amazing. We left a souvenior hoodie in the room. A staff member called us and mailed it to us. It even had the $20 still on the pocket. After this experience we decided to join Marriott Bonvoy.
