I stayed at this hotel for a conference. The confernce was held inside the hotel. Never had better, ample food at a conference before. Italian Resteraunt in the lobby is a little pricey for the portions. Rooms are very spacious and clean.

Only draw back at this hotel, no fridges or microwaves in the rooms. I was told the only microwave at the whole site was in the gift shop.

The location is great, right in the middle of everything. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. The room, however, smelled a bit damp to me (my husband didn't notice this but I sure did). We later learned that the walls were a bit thin too as the old cliche of the headboard bouncing against the wall from next door accompanied by moans began to be heard both late night and again at about 6 in the morning.

This is one of the nicer Marriotts I've been to around the country. The building seems in really good shape - FF&E are all up to date and the rooms are standard Marriott stuff. The lobby bar and restaurant have been hopping each time I've stayed here and the gym is excellent - very well lit and lots of modern equipment. There are some neat character places nearby (walking distance to The Pit if you're in the mood for Carolina BBQ). I will definitely stay here again.

The place is beautiful compare to a nearby Marriott at Crabtree Valley. I was pleasantly welcomed by staff at check in. Got myself a room in the concierge level because I have platinum status. Room got nice decor for its class. There are small reading light mounted on the bed headboard - nice. Ample lighting in the room to nicely lit my room. I had a pleasant, quiet stay.

What I was not expecting: I checked in early enough to get some snack at the concierge lounge, but it was closed - make sure you call to see if this lounge open before making that extra effort. Monday morning came and the lounge still closed - had to dine in the restaurant below and it's not really that good.

Other than that, my stay was uneventful. I would stay again.
