Residence Inn by Marriott Cedar Rapids

.

Wasn't the best hotel out there.

I would not stay here again if you paid me. The room was dirty and looked as if items were just wiped down and not cleaned. I couldn't sit on the couch because of all the unknown stains left on it. The kitchen didn't have everything you needed to cook for a week's stay. This was the whole point of me selecting this hotel. The curtains were ripped and had either dirty or black mold on it. There was no hot water while taking a shower, only luke warm than cold. The gym looks nothing like the picture on the website. If you have accommodations for long term stays, you should have a gym that reflects this. I thought housekeeping stole five large headbands that I had by the sink. I called the front desk to complain, and they said they had them there. Why? Because they didn't pay attention and put them in with the dirty towels that I had on the floor. Did I get a call or note from the front desk saying they had them? No. Did they offer to bring them back up to me? No. I had to go back down and get them. Breakfast was good.

The pool had too much chlorine and we couldn't breath very well. Was foggy and water dripping from the ceilings. The hot tub didn't work. My grandson got sick due to the poor pool conditions. They shortened their 2 day stay to 1 because of this.

The staff was wonderful. The room was decent but had wear and tear. My main complaint was the pool area was filthy, mold on the walls of the pool, jets in hot tub didnt work and overall was just dirty. We typically always stay somewhere with a pool for the kids and we swam for less than 30 minutes before I made everyone go shower.
