Expected more from a Residence Inn

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 19 Sept 2023
This hotel needs some investment, as the rooms are very dated. This 2 bedroom suite had only 1 USB charger connection and that was on a dinky clock radio. Office desk had only AC receptacles. The windows were filthy inside and out. More amenities needed in the bathroom.
I went to cook a steak on the common area bbq but not enough heat was generated due to broken burners. Maybe it should be retired. I fried it in my room instead, but since the stovetop exhaust only recirculates, I smoked up my room pretty good. The kitchen was well appointed, but no kettle. Just a full size coffee maker. Useless for a single traveler.

Breakfast was average. Service at the hotel was pleasant. The internet was the fastest (premium) I have ever seen (300mbps up/dn).

Welcome gift for Gold+ members is ONE store item or 500 points.

Time to try another hotel in the area next business trip.

Dear scotty56434,

I regret your experience at our hotel; please forgive us. I'm sorry that our accommodations were not to your liking and that our breakfast service disappointed you. We do our very best to provide remarkable service and a pleasant stay, but we clearly fell short of our goal. Your feedback is welcomed as it encourages improvement for future visits. We hope to see you again to provide the pleasant stay our guests have come to expect and deserve.

Sincerely,
Firass Ismail
General Manager

Yet again denied my suite rewards even though I’m a titanium elite member, guests room AC went off multiple times and got a working room days later, cockroaches in room. Please. Fix yourself. Your members don’t deserve this @marriott

Quite location. Front desk was welcoming upon check in. Studio suite very comfortable and clean. Nice lay-out, adequate lighting. No hotel pen and pad, envelopes, or desk stuff like that available in the suites. Not enough bathroom amenities. Towels were plenty. Kitchen needs a few more things, such as a kettle, especially for longer stays. Coffee machine or using the small pot to boil water just isn't the same for making tea and other things. I requested if a kettle was possible to get, they said no, to just boil water in a pot. Most of the front desk staff were very friendly and provided great service. Housekeeping staff provided great service and very friendly. Marriott needs to be more honest with their website list of amenities etc. offered at each hotel, i.e. there is no post/parcel or bottled water, or a few other things listed. When I asked, they would not even provide service for a letter size envelope to be mailed for me. I did offer to pay a service fee as well as postage. They said to go to a post office or drop in mail box, but too far a walk and I had other things pressing to do. They did though when I asked for bottled water one morning as I had run out of my own, say that I could come down to front desk and get some (complimentary). One other morning I did not bother as I was tired and still in pjs, and wanted to remain so for a while longer, but missed my morning coffee. However at other times requests were handled very willingly and promptly with service with a smile. I think it depended on who was involved. In general though, very good service. Breakfast is ok, but could be better. It is a small buffet but several things. Breakfast staff were great and friendly. I find their coffee very bitter. Some mornings scrambled eggs were cooked enough and sometimes quite raw. A breakfast staff member noticed I wasn't impressed and closed the lid and she brought a bowl of properly done scrambled eggs to my table! That was very nice of her. They need to change up and rotate the breakfast option a little more often, because it is a Residence Inn in that a lot of guests are long staying guests. Pool and exercise room available and clean. Being it is a 3-star hotel, I felt a four star rating was deserved. Marriott Bonvoy on the other is very difficult with their rewards program and I am not a fan any more. As already mentioned, their websites for their hotels is also very misleading. Considering all the bother and stress caused by that aspect of things, I will not be using Marriott Hotels anymore despite being an Elite Platinum Member. The hotel though was upping their rates too quickly and too high during my stay there. It is a good value hotel when prices match what they offer. However, whenever overhigh rates start occurring, it is no longer good value for what you receive in return. I can recommend this hotel for stays when rates are reasonable and fair, and for storter stays rather then longer stays (unless they improve a few things) and for any guests that are not MB members. I believe it would be in general basically a good stay for anyone. Thank you.

In the past two months, I’ve visited three Residence Inns - Markham, Calgary and Halifax. Markham is the only one that still refuses to reinstate hot breakfast. It’s been two years. There is no reason not to open hot breakfast like other Residence Inns have. Even the Fairfield inns I’ve stayed at (Sudbury, for one) have it. An English muffin is no longer acceptable. In the meantime, I have found several other hotels near you which I will try that do offer hot breakfast. I will keep calling your hotel once a month to see if it returns and when it does I will return as a guest.

The overall experience at Residence Inn was great. The room was very spacious and the amenities were fantastic. Had a couple of issues the first night due to the room not being fully cleaned, however, one of the housekeepers named David came to our rescue. He not only helped us move all of our luggage to another room, but he did everything he could to ensure we were comfortable and happy. If you find yourself at the Residence Inn I really recommend seeking out David even just for a conversation. He's extremely genuine and will do anything he can to make sure your stay is of the highest quality.

I accidentally dropped and shattered a cookie jar in the kitchen area of my 2-room suite at this Residence Inn. The person at the front desk was quick to send house keeping to clean up as soon as we reported it (it was past 8pm on a Wednesday night). David, the house keeping person who cam to my room, was very helpful, patient, and attentive to details in cleaning the place up. He apologized for keeping me but insisted that I stayed with him in the room so that he could walked me through the affected areas and thoroughly vacuumed and wiped the floor with wet towels to make sure that he picked up all the broken glass pieces (too many!). The level of care and warmth he showed me was something that I had never experienced from house keeping staff I dealt with in my many years of stay in different hotels. David definitely deserved a five stars in making my stay at this place a very memorable one! Thank you David.

Room tip: I stayed at the top floor and it was very quiet. No street noise at all.
