The only pro of this business is that the overall setup was lovely…read more Everything else about this business is nothing but awful. We used this business for a wedding. From the beginning, things got off on the wrong foot. The bouquets for the front of the ceremony were done completely opposite of what the bride had wanted. (They were fixed before the ceremony began but not without a comment of "do you know how expensive those are" from the owner which seems highly rude and innappropriate.) The bride had expressed wanting large bouquets of white hydrangeas. The beginning bouquets only had one hydrangea in each. The bride was aware of the expense and expected her large bouquets to be correct. In the end, the bouquets had 3 hydrangea flowers in each which was much smaller than the bride wanted. At the reception, the bride and groom had wanted a plain cake. They had expressed this during the wedding planning and to their cake decorater. While setting up for the wedding, Artful Parties owner, Luann, had told the cake decorator "Here is the bouquet she'll toss. We can put it on top of the cake." The cake decorator repeated that is not what they wanted so Luann suggested leaving the bouquet by the cake in case they changed their mind. When the cake decorater walked away from the cake table Luann shoved the bouquet of flowers so deep into the top of the cake there was no way to take it off. Clearly, she operates on a I-know-it-all-and-will-do-it-my-way attidtude. Then the owner came in and started cleaning up the reception area at 10pm when we had the room rented until midnight. Because of her starting the clean up, the guests began to leave. From the weddings I have attended, I have never seen a clean up crew in the time I was there. As far as I'm concerned, the decorations were paid for and were to be in use until the rental time has expired. While she was there she pulled the bride and groom aside to tell them she had copied their credit card number down wrong and needed to see it again. The groom had to leave his own reception to get her the information. At no time should a bride and groom be interrupted on their special night because of their wedding planner's mistake. (They were not leaving town for their Honeymoon until Monday so she could have contacted them on Sunday.) When the groom expressed some concerns to her at the end of the night she said, "keep in touch. we'll see where you're at in two years." (According to him she was referring to their marriage failing.) We were highly disappointed and upset with the way we were treated and how the owner handled situations. Don't let someone with a know it all attitude ruin your special occasion. Many people who work with her would call her a controlling witch.

In some ways it feels odd giving a Courtyard Marriott five stars, but honestly for this level of…read morehotel, I can't imagine it being any better. Over the holidays we had several family Christmas's planned back to back, and decided that the best way to make it all work would be to drive to Salina on Christmas night to stay for one evening. I had some points with Marriott so when I found this location we decided it was a good one to try. I used their app, and for the first time ever did check-in remotely and got a digital key. I was glad we did because we ended up staying pretty late in Manhattan and then were hit with some freezing rain and snow on the way to Salina amounting in us not arriving until around 10 or 11pm. After we got there though, it was seamless, the key worked, check-in was easy with the app, and we found ourselves in a really clean, modern, and comfortable room. I was so grateful, especially given that it was Christmas to have a nice place to check into at the end of a busy and fun day. In the morning it was just as easy to head out the door and onto the rest of our holiday festivities. We have a lot of family in central Kansas so I remarked to my husband that this might be our go-to hotel for next time we need a quick place to stay while in the area. Bottom line - this is a very solid choice in Salina. Clean, comfortable, easy to get in and out.

Honestly, I won't be able to give a very detailed review because we only slept here for a couple hours and then left at 7 amin the morning! However, from my little experience from here, I did enjoy this stay to say the least. Hotel & Rooms (first impressions) - The hotel and room/bathroom were very clean, the bed was very comfortable. There was even a microwave inside the bedroom, which is usually not the case where I have stayed before. Even though I booked this hotel room at 8 pm before we got there at 1030 pm, I still got a decent rate of $140 for that night, which was ok because all the other ones in the area had a much higher rate going on. As soon as we entered the hotel, it was well lit and the staff at the front desk greeted us. I did feel the lady could've smiled a little more but she still got the work done so I do not have any complaints haha. I hope the hotel instructs the staff to smile a little when the guests arrive for checkin or checkouts. As soon as the front desk, staff finished checking us in, we were told about the breakfast (for $8 per person which we did not end up having),the snacks purchase area, pool and fitness center. Improvements - I had read some reviews before which said the bathroom is slippery and I did experience that after having a bath in the morning. I think for younger folks it should not be an issue, but yes, they should take into consideration some anti-skid coating or mats for the older folks or else it might be extremely dangerous for them. I did see some tapes on the shower floor but they were kind of worn out and didn't really help much. It was still very slippery. Also, I think for $140 a night they should be including breakfast with the room tariff because I heard that the breakfast is pretty basic with egg, sausages, cereal, toast, juices, tea, coffee, so pretty similar to all the other hotels have to offer. Overall, this experience was a good four out of five for me, and I am glad that I stopped at this hotel for a good nights rest.
