Marriott Shoals Hotel And Spa

I really appreciate the great hospitality from everyone that my wife and I met during my visit & weekend stay to check out the venue for our Tennessee Healthcare Engineering Association's Conference & Expo. Everybody from the housekeeper, valet guys, and the staff at the restaurants were very friendly. I also want to give a special shout out for Dolly, Beth, and Matt for helping me plan for our C&E with great ideas. I believe that our attendees will be blown away with the hospitality, hotel accommodations, restaurants, and the conference center. All of our THEA board members are looking forward to coming there for the conferences.

UNDER RENOVATION. Several areas were closed and we were not advised when making reservations. Several false alarm evacuations, one resulting in the entire building evacuating to the parking lot while it was raining / sleeting early in the cold morning. No explanations, no apologies, no communications. People waiting outside at emergency exits were left outside after the " all clear" was given because only those at the front entrance were told to come back in. Other times, the lobby and restaurant were closed for a promotional photo shoot. Rooms are clean, the food and service at Swampers are great. And to the manager driving the white Mercedes with A2CERT license plate, please slow down when racing through the parking lot EVERY morning.

I treated my recently retired wife and our granddaughter with a massage at the spa, a meal at 360 grill, and a night's stay in the Renaissance Resort Hotel. Since all are on the same property and are connected, I'll include all in the review. The spa only had the base massage available (my fault), but both raved about it, and want to return. The meal was awesome...relatively expensive, but we expected that. I had the 28 day aged ribeye, and it compares to the best steak I've ever had. Everyone said the same about theirs, and my daughter (joined us for the meal) who had the catch of the day said the fish was excellent as well. Now the stay...the hotel has recently been updated and has no signs of age. The colors, textures, sounds and smell of even just the lobby exude elegance, and that continues to the rooms. Upscale fabrics and wall decor (our room had a pencil sketch of Aretha Franklin, and a gold record of hers) ties the facility to the tradition of the Shoals Recording Studio and the artists who made it famous. The view from our balcony included the upscale pool, Wilson Dam, and the Tennessee River in the distance, and was beautiful. The beds were very comfortable as were the pillows, and not one small noise to remind us that others were in close proximity. All that resulted in everyone having a restful and refreshing night's sleep. Long story short, there's not one drawback other than the expense. You can stay at motel 6 and dine at the greasy spoon and save some cash, but if you want to splurge and enjoy the ultimate stay in the Shoals area (Florence, Sheffield, Tuscumbia) this would be the place.

My stay was fantastic! The only reason it did not get five out of five is they were doing renovation and I did not have access to the fitness center. The staff was extremely nice. The hotel was clean. My linens and towels were white and soft and fresh. James from Engineering was very helpful. Sawyer at the front desk was extremely nice and helpful as well as the assistant general manager Jason.

Love love love this hotel! The renovations are amazing. The rooms are very modern and spacious. I love the restaurant and when I choose to stay in, the room service provides allot of different options and the food is delicious. The staff and the night manager are fantastic- very accommodating and kind.
