"The staff here are super friendly and helpful. I've been coming to this location for a few years as a stop on my way to Virginia and even though my visits are 6-8 months apart the staff recognize me and it's like catching up while checking in rather than being transactional.
The rooms are always clean and comfortable. The beds are comfortable and a good size.
While the pool is a nice feature, it's clear it doesn't get cleaned regularly as the tiles show some buildup and they've had kids kinda scratch their names or initials into the buildup that hasn't been cleaned since I was there months ago. Also, it would be nice if it were warmer, but that's minor as it's still refreshing, especially after a long drive.
The Bistro/bar closes randomly, I'm guessing due to staffing issues, and this can be problematic as sometimes you don't want to leave the hotel for dinner, but you have no choice. The variety at the Bistro/bar is decent, and portion size is good when it is open. Other Marriott hotels offer free amenities like coffee and snacks when you arrive and I think this hotel could benefit from that too.
Overall, I keep coming back to this hotel because the staff and the room always meet the expectation, even if some of the expected features aren't always perfect(Bistro specifically). They are also really close to a lot of restaurants and food options, so if you have to travel it's minutes at most."
