Residence Inn

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 25 Feb 2008 rated 6 out of 10.

The Residence Inn is a hotel with potential. Currently under renovation; the workers were active at all hours. The biggest draw back is getting to Forbes Ave to get something to eat. The shuttle van stops running at 9 pm. Due to flight delays; I did not arrive until 8 pm.

Positives: The room I stayed in was recently renovated.

Negatives: Location - requires a car or shuttle into town which stops running at 9 pm.

When we arrived at our 2.5 star hotel, we expected as much. to us though, it was easily 4 stars. there was a kitchen in the room and we felt like it was our home away from home. Complementary breakfast buffet was AMAZING! We both wanted to stay longer, and really loved the room and the services.

Positives: Overall 'at home' feel, felt like our own apartment.

Negatives: Needs wireless internet, better lighting in shower area.

The Marriott residence is a very amenity full hotel, especially for travelers who need to stay at least a week. They are mini suites with a full kitchen, dishes, silverware, etc. Each room also has a living room area that is separate from the bed area with a couch for relaxing by the TV before you go to bed. The indoor pool and hot tub was nice and empty. The full breakfast buffet was one of the best Ive had and it was included in the price.

Positives: Mini suite, with whole kitchen, living room area.

Negatives: Location is hard to find and farther away from city.
