This place deserves 10 stars. Staff was phenomenal. The place was so clean, and our room was immaculate! Breakfast was great, and pool/hot tub were so clean.

I didn’t know I had to put a $250 deposit being that I live around locally.That should be disclosed through you guys in site of this situation,And the room had a huge stain on the floor soon as we walk in as well multiple stains on couch and there was a mildew book bag in the closet.And as I was checking out I heard a maid speaking on me and my kids stay of the room.Yes we had quite a bit of trash but we put it in bags and had it stacked nice as possible being they don’t provide that big of a trash can.And the hot tub didn’t work properly and is stained brown so does look dirty

I made a genuine mistake of booking this room. I thought I was booking a room in Peoria, AZ not PEORIA ILLINOIS, and these folks cannot refund my money. This is B.S.

Mauricio,I apologize that Expedia was unable to refund your booking. Unfortunately your review reflects negatively upon our hotel, when we have no control over 3rd party booking sites like Expedia.

The area is property is hard to get to. One adjacent property is not very nice. This property is aged and has poor ventilation in hallways so it smells musty.

The room layout & having a kitchenette is particularly nice. Staff are very attentive to customer service. There was a nice packet in the room with an eye mask, ear plugs, & bedtime tea that was an unexpected detail. The breakfast/coffee area is meticulously maintained. One unique layout to this particular spot: The property location isn't the easiest to navigate. It is accessed on a small, narrow road that is only found by driving around an access road that goes around the Mall. The building is tucked behind a Baymont Suites so you can't see it very well. Not the property's fault but more of a land design issue. I was glad my first time getting there was in daylight. Signage leading to the area is not lit so navigating at night could be a be more challenging.

2 bedrm suite perfect for family Christmas
Stayed in the 2 bedroom suite with full kitchen for family Christmas. Room has real fireplace that burns real wood, but you have to use their logs. We did not use it as it was too warm in room with oven on. Was nice to have a fullsize oven to bake a lasagna in. Both bedrooms had a king size beds. Kitchen table only had 2 chairs. Hotel staff was very accommodated in bringing us 2 more when asked, since there was 4 of us in the room. Morning hotel breakfast was good. Only downside was our room #211 did have a strong cigarette odor in it.

Do not stay here! Mold, rude staff, non-ADA access
The whole facility smells like weed and cigarettes. The elevator jumps when you get on and off and feels like it is going to fall. Definitely not Ada accessible and we were not given a room that was wheelchair accessible or a roll in shower. How we booked the room. Beds are gross and very uncomfortable, felt like you were sinking in. Fridge was gross and the kitchen utensils were even worse. Black mold in the bathroom, felt sick whole time we were in the room and when we said something about it we were told it was fine. As I and my family are allergic to black mold. This is not good. Lastly the fireplace was a plus but when we lit the wood we had to buy at the front it made the whole room go smoky and the fire alarms went off and wouldn’t turn off. The hotel was also about 100 dollars more than what we booked the hotel for.

I have stayed in several Residence Inns around the country and this one was by far the dirtiest. Carpet and sofa were attained. We had to clean all of the dishes and appliances. Utensils were almost as nasty as though they had been used, wiped, and placed in drawers. There is something structurally wrong with the ceiling/upstairs floor that when the tangent about walked it was extremely loud and sounded as he was coming through the ceiling. The dishwashersounds as if it is a machine in a factory. On a good note; the front desk staff was courteous and friendly. I will most likely not stay here again since there are other options in the same area.

My room was a bit "shaby". Hard to schedule room cleaning. Dishes in kitchen cabinets needed to be cleaned. Guest laundry area needed some clean-up. Faded, warn-out Christmas decorations still on display at side entrance. General vibe was that the staff didn't have the interest (or time) to keep things looking nice.

Front desk staff is superb: everything right. Check in was speedy, gracious, responsive, informative. Melissa and Natalie were great. Breakfast room was very clean and inviting, though real oatmeal and bacon or sausage would have been appreciated. Room was spacious and fully equipped with everything needed and more.

Pets and unpleasant odors
Pets are prevelant at this location so if that's an issue for you stay elsewhere. The staff was friendly and helpful. My primary issue with our stay was guest placing garbage right outside there door because they didn't want the odor from their carryout refuse in their room. The odor bordered on nauseating. The facility should find a way to minimize this issue.

It was one of the only CAT-friendly hotels anywhere around. Many hotels claim to be pet-friendly but allow DOGS ONLY. Although it cost a bit more, the cost was next to nothing compared to other hotels who charge outrageous amounts per pet and/or per night. I had to stay for two weeks due to job transfer before I could get into my new place. Thanks to the Residence Inn for their cat-friendly environment.

While the room seemed generally pretty clean, there are obvious signs of wear (lots of dents in the fridge, torn blinds, dark lighting) in the room. The outside is the part that is most obvious though. Walking dogs behind the hotel and the fencing around the a/c units are falling apart with open screws and siding missing from the building. The hotel is located in an area behind what appears to be a dead or nearly dead mall. That being said, the area immediately passed that mall appears to be new and with some decent fast food options. The grassy areas are definitely showing signs of people not cleaning up after their dogs and nobody else cleaning it either. There was nothing here that would keep me from staying again as I drive through though. The staff that I met was very nice and my room was conveniently right by the back door where I could get my dogs in and out easily.

We enjoyed a comfortable bed and use of the swimming pool but our room's dishwasher didn't work, the dining chair's leather was ripped, the dining light was out. The assistant manager moved us after a week to another room where the dishwasher also didn't work. The second or third day that we went to breakfast, there were no plates and we had to wait for someone to come back from getting some. The assistant manager said she would deduct 2 nights' fees from our bill for the inconvenience and gave us a generous gift bag. Our complaint is not about the staff but about the condition of both rooms, especially not having use of the dishwasher for 12 days. This particular facility needs some upgrading to match the quality of the Marriott brand we've come to expect.
