Friendly staff but feels dated

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 31 Mar 2019via mobile
Perfectly good Residence Inn but it just needs refurb. I had a great room with an additional mezzanine so nonissue with size and the Marriott Bed was as comfy as ever.
Power in the shower was poor and the decor just feels dated.
On the plus side the staff are really friendly and helpful which is great and breakfast choice was also good.
It also needs a bigger gym. 2 treadmills and a cross trainer isn’t enough.
With a brand new Fairfield Inn just up the road the Residence Inn needs to up its game.

We appreciate your kind comments about our friendly associates and our delicious breakfast buffet. I will inform our engineering team to work on the water pressure issue in that room and I will forward your comments to our owners about a larger gym along with a need for an update since we are always looking for ways to improve. Once again, thank you for staying with us and we hope to see you again on your next trip back!

The room was clean, and in good condition for a first generation RI. It's always nice to have a fireplace. The snack shop was quite limited, and breakfast was the standard high school cafeteria food I've come to expect at Residence Inns. It's a good option in the area, for the right price.

The kitchen I expected. The fireplace was an unexpected surprise. I haven't seen a real fireplace in years. You can buy a firelog at the front desk. The front desk staff is real friendly. Only thing I would ask is for weather stripping under the door to keep the cold air out. Plus, some baking sheets.

Comfortable hotel. Breakfast is a great choice. Plenty of options. Staff was friendly. Rooms were clean. Heating was not great. It did not maintain an even heat. Otherwise a great stay. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Beds were comfortable.

Dear mainahh,

Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback on our hotel. I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay especially our breakfast buffet, friendly associates, and clean & comfortable rooms. I will have our maintenance team look into the heating in that room. It should be giving an even temperature and I am glad that you let me know so that we can get it fixed. We look forward to welcoming you back next time you return!

Sincerely,
Bernice

The room was fine except that the fan (from the heating/air conditioning unit) seemed to aim directly at the bed. Whenever the temperature would adjust and the fan automatically came on, I was uncomfortable. Otherwise it was OK. To be fair--I didn't call down and ask them to adjust anything. I doubt that I'll stay there again, though.

Dated - gross - don’t bother. Booked with our hockey team. There is an odd smell in the room (722); carpet looks and feels like it’s from the 70s; everything - even wall plates are filthy.

The only PRO is that the lobby is new and renovated, front desk staff was very friendly and they had a hot chocolate bar out. HOWEVER - it’s very deceiving - the rooms don’t match the temporary lobby fix.

I left at 11:30 pm and booked at the new Fairfield Inn down the street.
