Auburn Marriott Opelika Resort & Spa at Grand National

I’ve stayed in hotels that cost six times as much, and were lovely. But this actually felt like… home. The staff was perfectly lovely with dignity instead of obsequious pandering The room was exactly the right dimensions for light and comfort. Bed bedded just right. The food was hilariously great, no little sad exceptions. Which is pretty impressive on a buffet. The pools were perfect in aesthetics and function. Parking was plentiful. 10/10 y’all.

Positive: Beautiful property, and golf is on the premises. The hotel was clean and updated. Free coffee in the morning. I like that they try to be environmentally thoughtful with the refillable shampoos, etc. Nice pool area and bar. Negative: They put us in a room for handicapped people, which was no big deal, but there was no shower curtain. No body lotion in the bathroom. The Jacuzzi was not working properly, and I was told it had not worked correctly for weeks.

We stayed here for one night for our son’s wrestling tournament. The grounds were gorgeous, and our room had a great view. Our room was clean and comfortable. I also liked having a shower and bathtub in the bathroom along with a closeup mirror. The bathrobes were also surprisingly comfortable. We do have a child at Auburn, so we may be back soon. There seemed to be a lot of things going on at the hotel, but we spent most of our time watching wrestling.

First time visiting this property and was amazed how nice it was designed and decorated. It certainly looks like the area is set for future developments of residences. However, the lodge or the main campus was great. We were there for the brunch, which was amazing. The food was fresh varied, and really laid out very attractively. Kudos to the chef. I love the honey from the honeycomb. I will be back if I’m ever traveling from New Jersey to Auburn in the future best of success!

My husband and I planned a trip with my mom. Most hotels offer a light and a support bar in the shower. I noticed our shower didn’t have either. My mom had 4 foot surgeries and her balance isn’t good. I asked if we could get a shower with a bar. They gave me a support chair that would not fit in the shower. When I told the front desk. I was told when I booked the stay I needed to request a handicap accessible room. I didn’t need a handicap accessible room just a safe shower. After that I didn’t feel welcome and they really didn’t care.
