Beautiful pool area, but food selections were disappointing for a resort of this caliber.

The surprise anniversary treat and delicious breakfast truly made our stay special. The room service location was perfect, enhancing our experience as we celebrated together.

Couple's Retreat Worth Every Penny

We spent three nights there, and the breakfast was delicious! The waitresses both mornings were really friendly and so accommodating, made us feel at home, I cherished that for sure.

It wasn’t exactly budget-friendly, but I guess you get what you pay for.

A Fantastic Family Getaway!

Our stay exceeded expectations! The kids loved the extensive pool area and outdoor activities. Dinner at the splash bar was delightful with attentive service, enhancing our relaxed evening. Don't miss out on the tennis courts—they were a hit with our whole family! Highly recommend for a family fun trip!

i had a great stay at marriott. the amenities were very cool, and the overall vibe was relaxed. Ray at the front desk really stood out. he was super welcoming and made our arrival perfect. also, being so close to the newly built links wing was a plus.

the only thing i would critique is that the dining service by the pool could use some improvement.

The Auburn Marriott Opelika Resort & Spa At Grand National features a beautifully landscaped outdoor area, with easy access for seniors to stroll along the paths, enjoy the charming gardens, and soak in the atmosphere of tranquility.

Improve dining service response times.

We faced issues with our room type. we booked one with a sleeper sofa but ended up in a standard king, which led to an inconvenient back-and-forth with the management. The cleanliness left something to be desired. the bathtub appeared dirty and had algae in it, while the pool water was murky with floating debris. Additionally, during meals, we endured delays, such as waiting over 45 minutes for breakfast drinks that were not included despite a voucher. Odors near some of the restroom areas were off-putting, which affected the overall ambiance.

The stay highlighted some great moments, especially with the extremely friendly waitstaff during breakfast, who made our mornings enjoyable with their attentiveness. The beautifully landscaped grounds created a peaceful setting for relaxation. However, the initial cleanliness of the rooms left much to be desired, with dirty amenities and unkempt beds evident, and the management's response to these concerns was less than satisfactory, which dampened the overall experience.

Impeccable landscaping and grounds
