I chose The Gathering Grounds for my wedding venue and could not be more pleased with such an…read moreincredible experience. They respond quickly to any messages or questions. The people here are so kind and I felt so important from my first meeting. There is a whole room of décor left from previous weddings and events that are free to use which ended up saving me so much money and time as I was able to use so much signage and made my centerpieces using these items. I decided to use the twin barn and got a last minute upgrade to the waterfront barn with no extra cost. The people here made my day special and genuinely care about the people who come through the doors. I am so glad I chose this venue and highly recommend it to anyone interested!

I found Shelly Sarver designs on social media, and was immediately blown away by her stunningly…read morebeautiful, creative and unique floral designs! Then I met her in person, and our design meeting was probably the most fun meeting I've had planning our wedding. Shelly actually designed florals for both my rehearsal dinner and wedding, and both designs were so unique and different! We had so many plans for beautiful, summery florals before our June wedding got postponed due to COVID. Despite our new wedding date being in December, Shelly made sure we had the original flowers we had planned for and literally had them FLOWN IN from South America! Our wedding guests were in awe asking how we had managed to get these florals in December. But that's Shelly for you. She went above and beyond for us to have the wedding we had originally envisioned. Overall our wedding weekend was extremely beautiful, and that is in a large part due to Shelly's creative and gorgeous designs. She really took my vision and turned it into a reality, the highlight of which was our jaw-dropping chuppah for our Jewish ceremony, which was later re-purposed for our reception (design and functionality = my favorite combination!). She also has some beautiful props we utilized, such as shelving and goblets, so don't forget to ask her about those. Thank you so much Shelly for turning my floral dreams into a reality! You are truly one of a kind! -Jessica and Alex

I want to thank Sueppel's in Iowa for preparing, what I can only call, the most beautiful plant…read morearrangement I have ever seen. My dear friend of almost fifty years was memorializing her husband this past weekend and it had to be perfect. When Peg praised its beauty and what it meant to her I couldn't have been happier. Living in Los Angeles, a lot of vetting has to take place to insure you're getting what you paid for. Trying to figure it all out long distance could have been a nightmare. Sueppel's sent me pictures and listened to my needs. They made sure it was delivered in a timely manner as promised. when Peg sent me pictures, I must say, it was more beautiful than I had imagined. Sueppel's is the go-to place. I endorse them 100 percent!

The walk in shower was very spacious and easy to use especially for my parents, which have mobility problems. Great shower pressure with perfect hot water! The shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel are all on the wall. Breakfast had cold and hot items available. The hot items were just okay in my opinion, nothing really that special. Variety of cold options to choose. Also have a couple of laundry machines available to use on the 3rd floor. I never used the swimming pool on the 1st floor. A pantry to purchase things is also available on the 1st floor. I would definitely recommend staying here! Restaurant/Bar is attached to the hotel and offers room service. Great place!

Close to everything and lots of parking. Room was nice, seemed clean unfortunately the beds weren't that comfortable but that's always a hit or a miss (and personal preference). seeing there is a chophouse connected to this establishment we were looking forward to a full breakfast spread - quite a small selection. Cereal without milk, toast toppings without bread and the batter was on its last limb for waffles. I'm used to staff being in the dining area frequently to check on low items and restocking, I needed to alert the staff that things were missing or empty. Seeing this is the newest hotel in the area I'm sure it's the best place to stay.

I'm pretty loyal to Marriott branded hotels when they are in my price range, mostly because of their complimentary breakfast offerings. Very complete, with eggs, meat, the ubiquitous waffle maker, fruit, yogurt, cereals, juices, breads, coffee, tea, milk. Have I missed anything? Don't think so. And I tried it all. The room was perfect, interesting window treatments give you a nice view no matter what direction your room faces. Bed was comfy, bathroom clean and well appointed. Pool was enough and spotless.

My only comments are: 1) towels are extremely well worn! & 2) breakfast is just cold foods (except instant oatmeal) which could be made clearer on the website. Also, if booking, use the inn's site - NOT another lodging site! The info regarding nearby restaurants & shopping is totally inaccurate (either outdated or totally false) on other lodging booking sites.
