Husband and I stayed for two nights to attend a HS reunion. We normally book Marriott hotels and have rarely had a problem. This was the worst!- Bad odor, like someone had just cooked fish- Couch in living room very uncomfortable- Chairs in kitchen area covered with dried food- No fan or grab bars in bathroomVery disappointing.

Rooms:+ Excellent condition. Newer hotel. No issues with any of the furnishings, except if you are using the sofa bed, don't expect the best sleep of your life (not that you would, anyways, but just go in with lower expectations).Food:+ We had the free breakfast. It was 5 stars. Excellent selection of fresh items, which is uncommon. They really did a good job here. Since this hotel shares a building with a Courtyard (no breakfast), they put a staff member there to check you are staying at the Residence Inn.Service:+ The staff went above and beyond on every request we had. Good team here.So why 4 stars, and not 5? The management (or ownership) implemented a pitiful rule to avoid providing any elite benefits. We were staying on a slow weekday night, with plenty of availability for the 1-BR suites on the Marriott website. Upon check-in, I asked if we could be upgraded and was told that they could not without upcharging us. This is a cash grab, which is unfortunate.

The hotel was very clean and well kept. Rooms were good size and clean. Hotel is very easy to access and right off of the highway. Lots of restaurants nearby and a shopping mall right down the street. There appeared to be an outdoor area with seating and a fire pit, but never saw anyone using it due to the weather.

This Residence Inn is attached to a Courtyard by Marriott, which is a plus because there is a decent bar, double the lobby/sitting area, and a much better gym than a standard Courtyard or Residence Inn. The property seems to be fairly new; everything looks updated and works. We had a king bed with pull-out couch and a small kitchen for three of us there was ample space. There were no linens in the room for the pull-out bed, but the staff showed up quickly with a fresh set. The pool was decent size for the boys on our baseball team and it was a good temperature. The gym was big; much larger than a standard Residence or Marriott. There were a few treadmills and other pieces of cardio equipment, dumbbells, two benches, and a modern cable machine. Very nice to have an adequate gym with newer equipment and plenty of workout space!The only reason I gave this place 4 instead of 5 out of 5 is the cleanliness of the room. There was a lot of dust on the horizontal surfaces and the bathroom floor and shower were noticeably dirty.

This was an fine, although pedestrian, stay. Nothing wrong with it at all, in terms of convenience, comfort, cleanliness, etc. All staff were friendly and helpful too. But the place has a very corporate and personality-less vibe. I don’t think this factor is important to most people (or even myself, really), but it diminishes the overall experience in some way. But I would stay here again!
