Traveled for the LSU vs Auburn women’s basketball game. The accommodations were outstanding and the grounds were beautiful. The breakfast buffet was delicious. Sure to stay again when we are back in Auburn.

Excellent property and extremely kind staff, as always. I would love to see a dart board in the game room. Live entertainment is always great, especially Mark. We have stayed here several times over the past couple years and will continue to, but i am sorry, the food and beverage areas continue to under impress. The options are very limited and the quality is rarely excellent. I was confused when my appetizer arrived on something that looked like a hospital tray with a plastic cover. The splash bar seems to always be understaffed during peak times resulting in much longer wait times for drinks. That being said, Ricardo and Drew were excellent and beyond helpful.

Great resort…lots to do.
Even if you’re not a golfer, there’s a lot to do at this resort. The games were a huge hit with the kids. Love the fire pits. The food was good. Overall a great stay.

I expected more!
This place is by far the nicest hotel in the area and of course they charge accordingly. That being said, the golf course is AMAZING, the pool is very nice and all the amenities were what you would expect. Where I think this hotel falls short is two areas, the fine dining restaurant and the spa. The main fine dining restaurant is located downstairs on the first floor across from the sports bar, the food is very sub par. Steak was tasteless, mashed potatoes seemed like they came out of a bag and were microwaved, and the brussel sprouts were just mushy and gross. I've had better salads from chic filet, the cheddar rolls had no flavor and my sons pork chop was overcooked and dry. Basically everything was terrible and the manager's idea was to give me a 15% discount when there isn't one item that was edible. Spa was incredibly nice and the only complaint i had was the masseuse wore some type of gloves and wasn't very good.

We visit Auburn a few time per year and always stay at Opelika Marriott Resort, it has become our home away from home. Staff is always extremely friendly always willing to go out of their way to help. The grounds are always immaculate. The only thing we feel could use improvement is the food menu variety and food temperature
