I have stayed at this hotel twice now for work. It is a beautiful place and the staff is so helpful. There is an onsite restaurant and also a bar and coffee shop. I really appreciated the free shuttle to and from the airport. There were also several restaurants within walking distance of this hotel.

I've stayed on this property a few times now for conference attendance. I have found that the parking can be a little dicey, and while always available, the only entrance is through the main (front ) door, making it a long haul to/ from the car with luggage. There is also no sidewalk along the wall to the parking area, which means walking in the service road with your luggage. When the weather is favorable, this isn't a problem so much, but in the rain or snow, it makes access difficult.
The staff has been kind and accommodating, and check in/ has been unremarkable. Having the app is a bonus and expedites the process.
I have found the rooms to be clean and well appointed; my only comment is that the bathroom sink is located outside of the actual bathroom area, and there is no counter in the bathroom area, which means you have to move between these two areas to get ready and you have to pile all of your items somewhere dry while in the shower. (if traveling alone, this isn't so much an issu but when on a business trip and sharing a room with a coworker, it's a little awkward). On the flip side of this, a person could be getting ready while on is showering since the sink area is separate; all a matter of perspective.
Conferences are smooth, and well accommodated.
All in all I enjoy my stays here at this Marriott.
