Wyndham Gardens Arlington is now the Hotel Arlington. It is now an INDEPENDENT hotel with new…read moreowners and management. FORGET the old reviews, under the new owners this is a quiet gem tucked away in an unlikely spot - next to a storage rental place, but that is a plus - it is off the busy road and nice and quiet. The Arlington is beautiful. Unlike similarly-priced hotels like the Hilton Express (and the super-crappy LaQuinta) in Marysville, this a luxurious, gorgeous hotel, with dark wood paneling and brass fittings, a beautiful entry in the middle of two water feature coy ponds, a relaxing and well-decorated lounge, and really good management, under General Manager, Lema. Use your GPS to find the turn - if you pass a storage unit business you just missed it. It is part of a larger building with offices first, keep going about 50 feet and you will be in the drop off area. We good a King bed corner room, and the first thing that made me happy -well, the second, because the first was true concierge check-in by Lema) were the TWO marble-topped vanities, both with hair dryers! One in the room, and one in the roomy bathroom. Well lit, and no fighting for a mirror when you are getting ready to go to an event, like a concert at Tulalip. (BTW there is a shuttle to the casino and back, up to 2 a.m.) The squeaky-clean room had all the amenities - A modern Visio TV screen, an upholstered chair to relax in with a standing linen lamp to read and relax by, a desk (marble top) and a dresser (I hate not having a dresser, even for an overnight stay) a mini fridge and easy to use coffee maker/water heater. The creamy taupe shades made a lovely ambient light, the bed was comfy, with plenty of pillows and extra bedding in a drawer; closet had a double mirror, ironing board and iron, and the hotel soaps were nice. Everything in the room worked. Plenty of water pressure, the switches and plug-ins, the remote, and heating and cooling. That seems like it should be a given, but so many badly run hotels do so poorly checking these things. I should note that we did not have a reservation, so they didn't check it last-minute, it was ready. I DO recommend reservations though, this sweetheart hotel won't be a secret long. The pool was open and clean, with a whirlpool next to it. Not huge, but not crowded with clean dressing rooms and towels. I went down in the morning and splashed around with some kids that were there with their folks, which was fun. The exercise room was not elaborate, but again clean and the machines worked. The breakfast fare was pretty standard but plenty of choices - coffee, tea, pastrys, fruit, four kinds of cereal, yogurt... The hot breakfast offered scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage -all well cooked and warm little pancakes and syrup...I don't remember everything except that the woman running it was as nice and accomodating as she could be, and kept things stocked. If you are going to Marysville and want a way nicer than standard cookie cutter hotel experience, this is the place. Note: Don't mix it up with the Arlington Motel, and you might find old reviews under Wyndam Gardens. Ignore those. But don't tell everybody - you will want a room available if you decide on a last minute night out at the Casino. BTW the restaurant is not open, and probably won't be, which is fine. It is hard to keep a restaurant going, but you may see old reviews that talk about it. It helps keep the rooms affordable.

Their new status as a private company has led the former Wyndham gardens to scale back on some of its amenities (restaurant & lounge), but this is not an issue in an area where restaurants and retail are plentiful. This place exceed my expectations on the things that matter, like the personnel being personable and an absolutely delicious breakfast. What a great place!! Beautiful! Clean! Pool and hot tub!!!!! Even the soap is good here....that never happens!!! I am blown away by the value and enjoyment of our stay at Hotel Arlington. Bring your own hair dryer

It's the perfect set up and just so beautiful. Our guests complimented it over and over and even with some rain it was the perfect day. We had planned to have the ceremony outside, but with pouring rain in the forecast we switched to the chapel and we still loved it just as much. The location of the bar and dance floor is the perfect set up and the reception area is so lovely. Terri was so great to work with and we can't recommend this venue enough!!

The grounds are beautiful, outdoor seating for 140, the sound wasn't amazing but I believe that was a separate vendor! 150 yards from ceremony to reception venue with bar in between both areas. A little hint of farm down the road and not enough bathrooms cost them the 5th star but a really good option for a northwest beautiful wedding.

UNBELIEVABLE from start to finish!!!! My daughter and her fiance are low-key people (not "low-key"…read morelike my students misuse it; the old-fashioned low-key). They searched and searched for a place that matched their vibe and their pocketbook. And even though Sadie Lake was almost two hours from their home, it proved to be the perfect choice (well, except for the local dinosaur infestation). From Day 1, they' were in love with DeeDee. She offered lots of items for free that couples usually have to pay to rent or buy. Everything was all listed on her website so even those of us in other states could peruse. The location is so beautiful and the premises really felt quaint and homey, not formal and stuffy like some venues. And then there were things that no other venue offered, like the boat on the lake for some fantastic photos! I think the bonus was that it was probably the least expensive place they looked at. Deedee's not in it to make bank; she does it because she has a beautiful place that she wants others to enjoy on their special day. As the mother-of-the-bride, I'm not surprised that I thought it was the second best wedding I've been to (don't I have to pick my own as #1), but soooo many guests told me they felt the same way. I can't imagine a reason why you wouldn't pick this location!!

It was a bit far to travel from the South (traffic! Ugh!) but it was worth it. The staff were super helpful and thankful for us visiting last. We felt very welcome and had fun mingling, eating and playing virtual games throughout the evening. They were also great cheerleaders to all our sporting attempts! We were able to try many of their virtual TruGolf games like golf, soccer, bowling, target practice, etc. as they had about 6 (?) giant areas with comfy couches, armchairs, and coffee tables. There is also a pool table, a few dart boards, a bar area to sit when not playing games and a couple of vending machines. There is something here for all tastes. This place is worth a visit for all of the above reasons and it's supporting a local business with a unique venue. Great for groups or a family gathering. Open to all ages.
