Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"John was the best bartender I had. He was very attentive but also just a cool guy that cared!! Thanks John!"
"John W runs the bar like a finely tuned race car. Precision, speed, and style. Whether it’s the first lap of happy hour or the final pit stop before last call, he keeps the crowd fueled and the atmosphere electric. Drinks come out quicker than a pit crew tire change, and he never misses a beat (or a smile). If there were trophies for bartending, John would be taking the podium every night. A true pro who turns every round into a photo finish. Recommendation: Don’t blink: you might miss his perfect pour."
"The food was great the Staff was nice courteous and clean, very helpful. It was my first time there and I had a great time with my coworkers"
"Thank you for the opportunity to have a wonderful breakfast with the Marriott team. I absolutely LOVED the french toast & the delicious fruit. The presentation for the charcuterie board & the french toast was amazing! Thank you to the chef & the staff for a warm welcome to the Marriott this morning. I look forward to visiting again soon!"
"Thank you guys for a great burger and service. Mr.Wisdom was the best bartender/server I’ve ever had while traveling. Warm presence about him was a great way for me to be introduced to Huntsville, especially after I was cranky after my flight. God bless"
"The bartender Jonathan was engaging and gave great customer service. He made my favorite drink, an old fashioned, perfectly. He was fast and very friendly and pleasant. Highly recommend!"
"Seek out Jonathan Wisdom. Yes he is a cook.....but his hidden talent is bartending! Ask for a Marriott Old Fashioned - oh my! Absolutely delish and as he says "I do it for the love" He made my cocktail hour exceptional. Great service!"
"I had a wonderful time, all of the issues I had, have nothing to do with the kind server Narissa (I hope I got that right) and John from the kitchen. Who were both warm, friendly, and genuinely interested in making my experience great! They deserve 10 stars! Any one would be lucky to be served by them. The menu, while delicious, is limited. It felt more like a quick bites upscale lunch menu, NOT a dinner. The menu is poorly printed in black and white, with a pixelated gray background, on low weight computer paper and is not a great first impression. Additionally, the menu is not ideal for those with allergies. They offer a peach cobbler with ice cream but their POS system doesn’t allow for a single scoop of ice cream to be sold. The lights are too bright for a dinner service it feels sterile as opposed to warm. It’s completely unromantic. It’s a slow hotel— I think in part because there are so many fees that a cheaper hotel wouldn't have. Like free overnight parking ($12.00/night) free wifi ($7.99/day), free breakfast ($20.00). The breakfast is good, but does it have the options you’d expect from a $20.00 buffet? No."
