Across reviews, some report housekeeping inconsistencies, lingering odors, and maintenance issues such as HVAC problems, a dripping shower, and occasional room readiness delays.

The bed was so comfortable and the room was spotless upon checking in. Which was a breeze. The shower was relaxing and the water pressure was adequate.

Nothing on the website states the pool is not open year around. We stayed 4/14-4/15/23 and the pool was closed, not due to open until May. The gas fire pit outside did not work. Our first room we were checked into, smelled horrible, more than half the lights did not work. Front Desk was able to move us to another room in which still smelled. Room wasn't cleaned well, mold on the glass shower doors and along the bottom of the shower. There was something spilled over the back of the bathroom that wasn't cleaned up. Will not be going back to this property again!

All of the staff at the Residence Inn were wonderful, friendly, helpful, and very professional. Aeron and Ms Shoshana were phenomenal!! They made me and my daughters stay there very comfortable. Aeron always had a smile on his face, and greeted ( me, us) every time, helped with our needs and went above and beyond. Ms. Shoshana helped me tremendously with kerping me in the same room every time that needed to extend my stay. When s water pipe busted she quickly took care of it and transferred me to another room. Thank you, to everyone!!! Pilar Atchison

In 18 degrees frigid weather my room had no heat. I was provided extra blankets to keep warm with my 2 small children. I did not receive daily housekeeping due to short staff. There was black ice in the parking lot which was not treated with sand or salt. As a result my senior aunt fell and cut her knee and hand.

We checked in and went to our room and noticed that some things were not cleaned, so we went to the front desk and they immediately moved us to a different room. Our next room was clean, but did have a weird smell to it. The beds we’re comfortable and met our needs. Upon checkout, my son realized his new Stitch was missing. Housekeeping wasn’t in yet, so there was no way to know if they had found him. I called the front desk when they arrived and after a few people checking he was found. I worked with Amanda at the front desk and she was AMAZING! She worked with me on sending a shipping label and made sure Stitch got home safe and sound! Huge shout out to Amanda for being amazing!!

The stay was very comfortable, and enjoyable. The only improvements that I would suggest is, if they had longer hours for breakfast. I don't know why their breakfast hours are not closer to that of the food service industry. Like how fast food restaurants mostly stop at 10:30, or most sit down restaurants stop between 11 and 12. So 9 am is not always convenient when you're on a trip or vacation and are not on your normal chronological time and may need longer hours so you can wake up and get downstairs. The other issue is that the shower in the room was very nice and upgraded from your standard hotel room, but the shower head was dripping and they have a long metal strip that is the drain, and the whole night all you hear is the steady sounds of a single drop of water hitting a hollow drain and steel strip and echoing from the bathroom through the room. I would have placed a towel under it, but we didnt have an extra one and did not have the strength to go down to the front desk to get another one. Outside of those two things, everything else was pretty much perfect.

I stay at this hotel everytime I'm in the area and for the most part the service is Impactable this time the only hiccup which was major for my famiky since I was traveling with my elderly sick parents and triplet grandchildren was we were told we could check in at 830am but on arrival one suite wasnt available until 11am and the other suite wasnt ready until 5pm when regular check in is at 3pm at check out i requested a late check out for the inconvenience and one of the front desk associates Intervene with myself and the managers conversation with her opion her input that wasnt necessary nor factual. I will say this Ms. Brianna who works in thw kitchen is always a jem and will always receive tips and blessings feom my family each and every visit her hospitality is remarkable as well as Ms. Andrea and Ms. Chanell.
