Everything was amazing, I had sucha terrible night and was scammed out of mkney on our previous location. This hotel was awesome and the staff was so friendly, kind, and acommodating. The most amazing human being works the front desk, his name is Alex Le. I thought it was just me and I was bias because he was so awesome helping me with new accomodations for me and my friends. But, as we were grilling and enjoying the fire pit, each one of my friends kept bringing up what a great person he was and how friendly and any time they would go ask for ice or something he was always happy to help. What an amazing time we had. Thank you

Great stay at Residence Inn

Our one bedroom suite was huge, and the full kitchen was perfect for our family's needs. The room itself was clean, though the carpet was a little stained. Looks like our previous guests did a terrible job washing dishes, so we rewashed them before using. The staff was super-friendly, and warned us that most people complain about the springs in the sofa bed mattress poking them. My 18-year-old daughter didn't mind that. Free breakfast was decent, with a large variety (though the fruits weren't the best quality). Note: If you come here expecting to use the pool and fitness area, they are really small.

It was fine, although very expensive for such old facilities. The sofa bed was terrible, very uncomfortable, and they complained a lot about my dog. Other than that, everything was fine.

How is this a Marriott property!?

It was disgusting. My room smelled terrible, the door looked like someone tried to pry it open, the carpet was stained and ripped up. I left within 15 minutes of checking in. I had to call repeatedly to get a refund which was finally issued after two days. I don’t recommend anyone stay here.
