Marriott's Timber Lodge, A Marriott Vacation Club Resort

Location was nice, close to lots of restaurants and shops. Right off of the main road so it’s easy to find and easy to access other locations on the lake as well.

There was no mention of the mandatory $30 per night valet parking when we booked. The “fireplace” in the room is simply one of those fake electric ones that you could hear the belt squeaking on every 5 seconds because the “fire” is actually just an image on a conveyor belt like system. Also, the fan for the fireplace would not turn on with it’s dedicated switch. The bed was so so. I guess I expected something a bit more plush for a 4 star hotel. Upon leaving we were told that there was an additional $85 dollars that would be coming out of our account as an incidental charge. When pressed further they mentioned the fee would likely be adjusted down to $58 dollars and it was. The issue was that while this may simply be a glorified cleaning fee, it was also never mentioned while booking the hotel plus my wife and I kept the place extremely clean. We pulled the towels for the cleaning service, we remade the bed, any used dishes or items were neatly left in the sink or dishwasher. Our little weekend stay ended up costing us an extra $130 just in hotel fees. This seemed like a lot considering the two nights already cost us roughly $350. Overall this hotel is overpriced and therefore we will not be returning.
