Pretty run down but got us through in a pinch when we were dealing with some home renovations. It is not in a good area and the promised pool was incredibly small. No amenities besides breakfast, which was passable. Front desk staff was kind.

We stayed here two years ago while visiting family. My husband chose this place as it was financially feasible. We had such a positive experience we decided we wanted to stay here again. It's not a fancy place but it is comfortable, clean & in a good location. I used the weight room this time although I could have gone to Planet Fitness, just about a 10 minute walk. The weight room is also not fancy but it is clean, water is available & it had the equipment I needed. We stayed in a studio room & that was also a key reason we stayed. To have the mini kitchen available helped with cutting down expenses. The staff are friendly, breakfast offers a decent variety of breakfast options, it is eco aware & it's just all in all a good place to stay.

This property is run down and in need of an update. Service is bizarre. Tried to check in at 6pm and they still didn't have our room ready, just told us to wait 45 min. No apology. Then, after we checked in they informed us the pool was out of order. It's 95 degrees and we have kids who wanted to use the pool. Cleaning lady literally threw trash bag off 2nd floor and just missed my 3 year old walkjng by. Not a nice property and would not recommend.

Nice room, nice and big, I was just really surprised, that there’s a $15 parking fee. On this giant parking lot that is empty. It’s not the money, it’s the fact that no one said anything in the beginning. Typical frustration of these hidden fees that pop up on your way out. I didn’t see them until two days later when they sent me my invoice. Just think that’s petty to charge $15 for this massive empty lot, two days after the fact.

The room was okay. The whole building was a bit rundown … including the room. It was nice to have a kitchen. Parking was a bit far as well especially since I was staying the night before a procedure at the hospital down the street (which the hotel knew).

The room smelled really bad. I was unable to open window or sliding door. Kitchen wall was dirty. There were no utensils (spoons/forks/knives). There was no bottled water. I have stayed at many Residence Inn and they have all been wonderful. I was really disappointed at this location. The staff was really helpful and nice.

Although labeled residence inn, this hotel resembles sonesta in every way. Looks like it used to be a Sonesta hotel. Homeless people around the parking lot. Lots of trash, unkept looking area immediately surrounding hotel. Room is decent except for fighting with gnats every day. They seem to love the shower drain. Had to purchase Raid products to combat the issue.

I was in town because my wife was having surgery locally. I wish I could have stayed longer! The room was generous in size for an incredibly good price. The best thing was that there was no discernible fragrance in the room. My wife has MCS (multiple chemical sensitivity) and is highly allergic to the scent stabilizer used in virtually scented product made, making it nearly impossible to find a hotel room that doesn't make her sneeze through an entire box of tissue. She wasn't with me in the hotel, because she was in the hospital, but we may have found a place to stay that is comfortable for her! I also appreciated all the parking and the complimentary breakfast, which included hot foods (mostly egg dishes), a waffle maker, and the best oatmeal bar I've ever seen. The area was very quiet. The only odd thing was the lights over the bed--it took me forever to find the switches to turn them off (they were on when I checked in). I finally found the toggles on the side of the rectangular fixture.

I was on the second floor and the road noise was terrible. The bathroom counters were so low that I almost had to kneel to brush my teeth. There was no soap to wash your hands after going to the bathroom. I used the body wash from the shower till I bought my own. The refrigerator made a loud whiney noise when it came on. The first 2 days we were there the wifi didn't work.

1st room smelled like cat urine and the furniture was clawed up. Requested change of rooms. 2nd room smelled like cigarette smoke and had ants in the bathroom coming out of the drain and around the tub. Requested change. 3rd room seemed to be ok. No smells, however after accepting the room and unpacking found a large fake eyelash on the floor by the bed. I checked the bed, sheets, bathroom, called it a day. 2 uneasy nights. Location is surrounded by homeless, homeless RVs line the short street leading to the property. Won’t stay again.
