StudioRes by Marriott Oak Ridge

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.

The room was spacious, the kitchen has a fridge, a microwave, a sink, and cabinets, but nothing in the cabinets, no pan, or plates, or utensils. Our room had a dog smell in it. We knew the hotel is pet friendly, so shouldn't complain, but we didn't feel the pet odor in other pet friendly hotels. The lobby has a good coffee machine. The staff is friendly. It was ok stay for one night

All the staff there was super nice. Very comfortable inviorment. I've always enjoyed my stays here.

I booked this hotel based on having a kitchen, which it does, however, it has absolutely nothing in it. No dishes, pans, utensils, etc... What is the point? How many people travel with that stuff?

Great stay!
