Review of Marriott Mountainside Resort

Look, if you're traveling with kids, save yourself a lot of grief and find a hotel room with a built in kitchen and living room! The Marriott Mountainside is perfect for family trips. The two-room suite meant the kids got their own room, and we parents could hide in our bedroom. The kitchen was fully stocked with tools and appliances, so we could make coffee, eat breakfast and dinner there, have a glass of wine in the evening, and save a ton of money on eating out. There's a kids play area with video games and craft stuff, and the pool and many hot tubs are perfect for relaxing. Only downside: the concierges are less about being helpful, and more about selling you timeshares. The rest of the team was great, though, making this a perfect place to stay for our family.
