Postcard Cabins Starved Rock, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy

8/10 Good

"Bring your own s’more supplies, roasting forks and a broom. The cabin was intimate and overall comfortable. Needed some extra cleaning as there was a large pile of leaves on the entrance into the cabin, so they kept getting tracked in regardless of the no shoes policy. They ran of out s’more supplies and didn’t communicate that nor offer a replacement so just bring your own to be on the safe side. There was literally only 2 small towels and washcloths as well so either request more immediately or bring your own,"
