Merriweather Lakehouse, Autograph Collection

All told it was a great experience from check-in. Alice could not have been more helpful as well as the front desk manager they made us feel very welcome and we enjoyed our stay. When things start out in a positive direction, you have no choice, but to enjoy your stay at the Marriott.

Beautiful location. It’s in the heart of Columbia but tucked away perfectly for a nice retreat. Right by a nice trail. The view of the lake is breathtaking. Pool closes kind of early so make sure you pay attention to the time. Restaurant was worth every penny. Beds were nice. Loved the personalized touch with the tv having my name on it.

Great pool. Good restaurants and coffee shops. Excellent shuttle to Merriweather Post.

Really nice hotel. Big, well equipped rooms and great amenities.

Stayed here with my wife the night after our wedding. Great view of the lake!

You get what you pay for. Place was fantastic.

Beautiful location with lake views! Close to shopping and restaurants. Heating system was loud and not working when we arrived but maintenance quickly resolved the problem. Looking forward to returning in the summer. Only suggestion is to add EV chargers in garage.

Hotel is pretty but nowhere near what you would expect for autograph. Upon arrival, none of the outlets near the bed were working. When I notified the staff, they pretty much told me that they should be and if they aren’t, well then sorry because there’s nothing they could do. The second issue was that our shower was not cleaned. The seat of the shaper had dried conditioner clumps and hair stuck to it. We woke up our second morning to the toilet above us flooding our bathroom floor, covering many of our items in dirty, brown toilet water. When I called, they sent up an engineer who said he’d check the room upstairs, and that was the last we ever heard from him. Close to $1000 of personal property was damaged/contaminated and the hotel could have cared less. They comped one of our two nights for the “inconvenience” but seem more annoyed by my complaint of waste contamination over the hazard itself and the damage to our things. For an Autograph Collection hotel, this is inexcusable. To spend this amount of money to have our property ruined, basic amenities in non-working order, and our room dirty is disgraceful.

The grounds were beautiful but I reserved a lake view and the trees are so big you couldn't see any view of the lake

The walking trail and bound

The property itself is stunning. There is a huge lake outside of the hotel that in normal circumstances would give you an amazing view. However, in my case, I booked and paid for an upgraded room with a FULL lake view. Unfortunately, when I went to check-in, I was told that there was a concert in town and the hotel was overbooked. My room was on the 3rd floor and there was a giant tree that fully blocked our view of the lake. When I asked if anything could be done, I was told no, because of the concert and because of that they were overbooked- which is no fault of mine. The party goers were extremely intoxicated. Women were walking around with their bare behind out. And despite the police being there, nothing was done. There was screaming, yelling and a lot of belligerent and intoxicated behavior so loud that we could hear it in our room clearly up until 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning. The whole experience was disturbing and needs to be addressed because what I paid for I definitely did not get

The hotel is nice but for the price should include breakfast or something else. I also had noted that it was my wedding anniversary ; it would’ve been nice for them to include a card or something small to commemorate. It’s the thought that counts.

This hotel is immaculately clean,

Clean and comfy

Breakfast in the dining room was excellent. The fruit was fresh, nice atmosphere, and pleasant staff.

Good cafe selections for breakfast with a relaxing lake view. Overall good stay. Sheets need to be refrshed / checked closer between uses for wear and tear, stains, etc. Bathroom could have been cleaner (shower head spray, base of toilet, mirrors)

n/a asked for additional blankets that never arrived.

Staff is excellent. Restaurant solid. Great gym. Walkable to downtown Columbia.

The rooms are smallb
