This hotel is in the middle of being rehabbed. My floor/room was complete. Very clean and comfortable. Thermostat worked well too! My only issue was housekeeping never made it to my room. I did ask for fresh towels which were delivered. The management staff was very nice.

Everything was good, even though there was construction according to the desk clerk, we weren't affected by it at all.

Horrible Experience
I picked this hotel as I needed an oven to prepare food to take for a family gathering. At check in I was informed that there would be no breakfast in the morning because it was Christmas. She also added that she didn’t think any restaurants would be open. So a trip to the grocery store to purchase some additional food happened. Upon returning to the hotel, I was in need of some ice. The ice machines on the first and second floor were not working and there was no machine on the third. Back to the front desk where I was informed that the machine was on the fourth floor but they were doing renovations on that floor. She actually got the ice for me. The toilet continued to run, the carpet is pulling out of the strip in the kitchen area and actually hurt my feet to walk on it. The people above us sounded like they had 8 children who were running and jumping all evening. This was probably one of the worst experiences I have ever had at a named brand hotel.

At 7am construction started in the room above us! The banging and pounding of carpet being installed was absolutely ridiculous and loud. We should have never been put into our room!

The room was very worn, and extremely hot. The thermostat on the fourth floor, where our room was, must have been broken. It was easily 85 plus degrees in the hallway. The coolest we could get our room was 70, which was uncomfortable for us because we like a cool room at 60° for sleeping. The only way we could get the room down to 70 was by opening both windows. Having to open the windows in November seemed very ridiculous. Another problem was that on Thanksgiving morning, the free breakfast was unavailable. No one told us that there would not be breakfast on Thanksgiving, so we had nothing purchased in advance. There were no places locally to get breakfast as it was Thanksgiving Day either. I couldn't do laundry because the soap dispensers were broken and there was no soap at the desk The biggest disappointment of stay, was that the pool and hot tub, which were a main reason for us to pick this hotel, were closed at the time of our stay. The indoor pool and indoor hot tub are permanently closed. This information was given to us by the staff. Unfortunately, that information was not provided on the website. Interestingly enough, after I complained about the pool being closed, all information about the hotel having a pool was removed from the website. I knew this particular hotel had a pool, because we stayed there last year and used it. The saving grace was the staff. They were incredibly helpful and pleasant despite the many disappointments the hotel itself offered.

Booked a room thru Expedia. Was told when we arrived that all rooms were checked in and nothing was available. Everything was paid for on our end. She repeated more than once all rooms were checked in. Called Expedia up gave her the phone to talk to the rep and then all the sudden the reason is we misspelled your name and things changed. Suddenly our room was available after being told every room was checked in and accounted for????? It was very odd and frustrating considering we had traveled for 8 hours that day and it was late.

Renovate the Room
Check in was fine. The bathroom was great for my 87 year old Mom since she uses a walker. When we walked in, the transition from tile to carpet was dark duck tape, except for about 6-8 inches - and it was raveled carpet. There was no blanket for me to put on the pull out (very uncomfortable) couch. The sheet set in the closet for the couch looked like it had been used… We were tired and didn’t want to deal with moving to another room, but I did let the receptionist know about the carpet so I wouldn’t get charged for it since I had my 9 lb Pomeranian with me. The faucet in the shower was very difficult to use, too.

Will never book here again
The place was not as good as I thought it was. The hallway in the 125-133 corridor was very smelly , needs a deep cleaning, the smell was horrible. The room couch bed was a -0 on a scale of 1-10. The pull out couch has stains and the mattress was horrible, super thin and old. You could feel every spring. We actually just slept on the couch instead of pulling it out. I will not , 1000% ever stay at this location Residence Inn.

I start by saying we had no issues in our room or with the staff, we travel frequently and always stay in Marriott brand hotels. However, this hotel is not up to Marriott standards and is in need of an update. Lots of little things like the pool closure, breakfast amenities, stains in the carpet down the hall, chipped tile in the bathrooms, cushions on lobby and room furniture that need to be replaced, and professionalism of some of the staff was lacking. The staff was not rude by any means but lacked professionalism when speaking to guests and each other. Overall I would probably not stay here again until corporate comes in and cleans some things up.

DISAPPOINTED at this particular Residence Inn.
There was hardly any breakfast items on our first morning in the reception area. The elevators remained unswept our entire stay. There was no coffee machine in the suite. There were no pans and hardly any other basic kitchen utensils ie 1 fork, 1 knife... The shelves in bathroom were loose. The HVAC in the bedroom is so loud.

We have stayed at this property in the past and were disappointed at its current condition. I expect a little wear and tear, but the room and the facility just appeared unkempt. Staff was friendly, but seemed understaffed for a holiday weekend. Market was very low on items. Room did not smell fresh and clean as usual. Carpet in the halls was very stained in multiple places. Carpet in the room was frayed in multiple places. The kitchenette was in disrepair with multiple deep scratches and cabinet doors hanging off of the hinges in multiple places. Curtains in bedroom were hanging off of their attachments and ripped in multiple areas. Overall an acceptable experience, but very disappointing compared to previous stays. Will not stay at this location again.

Filthy hotel
Terrible filthy hotel. Broken furniture, hall carpets were stained and shredding. Upholstery was ripped in our room and in lobby. I just can’t believe Marriott would be ok with this. Pool is not working and looks like it’s been like this for awhile. From the road you can’t see the issues but as soon as you get closer you’ll see rotting by the front pool windows, if you’re lucky like us food safety violation was posted at the front door. This is what reviews are for…a warning to others. I just wish I would have taken the time to read the reviews before I booked a non cancellable room.

Would never stay there again I would not recommend
It was one of the worst trips I have had hotel wise in a while. The pool was out of order the entire 15 days which they didn’t tell us upfront so is the Jacuzzi. I talk to the front desk about it they never once apologize for the inconvenience they just said you could check out and leave. The washers didn’t wash correctly. The detergent machine did not dispense detergent yet it took your money. I had to go to the front desk about that that was never any word of I apologize for the inconvenience. I need to change for the washer and the gas in the entire drawer had been taken out and there was no change . Later he found the draw dress but never any mention of apologies for the inconvenience. With this being a Marriott hotel the service was ridiculous and very selfish. One of my other coworkers also stayed at the property and was very dissatisfied. We stayed there total 31 nights between the two of us and there was a possibility of 2 to 4 other people from our company staying there but we told them not to. Again it don’t cost anything to be nice and to be courteous. This whole chair was operated like a hood Motel. Extremely bad service.
