StudioRes by Marriott Oak Ridge

Staff very friendly! Rooms have a kitchenette but no utensils, dishes, cookware, etc which is odd. Very bright lights in parking lot shine through blinds all night. Had to request a housekeeper to remove a big hairball from the shower drain.

They so not carry ice. You have to ask for a hair dryer or iron and ironing board. You get a tiny bar of soap to use between the sink and shower. You provide everything you need. They provide nothing. Expensive to not get anything.

They cancelled my reservation hours before my arrival.

Hotel is basic - kitchen, bed, bathroom - but no utensils or silverware at all. Only access to food and drink are vending machines and a coffee machine. No breakfast provided. Cabinetry and drawers etc are walmart quality - so bottom line this is like a hostel more than a hotel and you need to come armed with everything you need. There are no staff on site between about 9.00 pm - 7 am which could be an issue in an emergency. Not sure what happens if yiu arrive after 9 pm and need to check in. One other thing to note is that my room (and I suspect others) have no blackout curtains, only slatted blinds, which would be fine were it not for the 500 gigawatt halogen lamps in the parking lot which make the bedroom light even in the middle of the night. So if you literally just need a bed, bath and a room, this is OK - but if you intend to use the room for more than that, find somewhere more typical with carpeted floors and some amenities.

Awesome
