I'm thinking of taking the wife there the first weekend of our Spring Break (March13). Has anyone ever stayed there before? Is it nice?
We get an RSA discount, so our room will only be $70 for the night. I can't wait to get back to AU for a few days.
Yeah. Been there several times for conferences.
It's nice enough, but unless your wife is a golfer there isn't much for her to do -- unless you scarf out the cost of a spa package or something.
The Grand in Fairhope is a better deal (assuming the RSA discount applies there). It has the spa, but there are also walking trails, you can rent kayaks or paddle boats, the pool (if it's warm enough) is awesome and it's a beautiful and historic location.
If The Grand is a 9 -- and it is, particularly if you can stay in one of the suites -- then the Opelika Marriott is about a six or seven. Nothing spectacular or amazing.
