Residence Inn Silver Spring

Paying for parking in one of the wealthiest counties in America at a Marriott property, in an area that does not have a transient population or is not crime-ridden is absolutely ridiculous. This is poor to the Marriott brand and poor by the staff of the hotel. Seeing a big sign at the entrance about paying to park in an open lot in a suburban area makes no sense-- this is not a downtown area, there is a large shopping center across the street, and open parking lots of businesses next door. This must be changed and all guest should be compensated in some ways. If it were not a family celebration for my 9 year daughter on her birthday, i would have cancelled my reservation. Please review and fix. We have never seen this absent major dowtown areas-- Atlanta, Philly, DC, New York, Chicago, etc-- and never when it was not a parking garage and limitations in parking spaces. Horrible.

breakast was okay, place was nice, old room with distinct smell

The staff, location, and rooms were excellent. Clean rooms with new furniture and appliances.

AC made strange sound on and off.
