My family stayed at the Surf Club on the Marriot properties. We were very surprised as how much had changed at the Marriot Hotel, we had stayed there last year. 2 sections of three have been completed as far as the rooms go, and the lobby is just a few weeks from being completed. Ruth Chris has not opened as of a few weeks ago. Personally I’m disapointed that they took out the nice restaurant that was there for a chain such as Ruth Chris.
