This is a good place to stay for a week or longer. The suites are very large and the parking is easy. It is walking distance to many attractions, restaurants, and shops. It is also near the waterfront.

I never leave ratings, but I would never recommend this hotel. The front desk employee, Chastity, was insanely rude, hostile, and threatened to cancel our room. She hung up on us multiple times, yelled over the phone and then she red flagged our room as well all because we called and asked a question…. 0/10 stay away at all costs. We ended up getting a full refund because of her behavior.

Staff was very friendly & helpful when checking in. The only complaint we had was when asking (the day before checkout) if it was possible for a late checkout, Jordan became snippy but did allow a noon checkout which was greatly appreaciated because our flight was not leaving until 7pm....We were surprised by her sudden change in demeanor because she was very friendly & helpful when we checked in.....she was assisting another guest who was attempting to get a room at a discounted rate as we waited patiently & she asked how she could help us.....I think she may have been frustrated by the other guest. Next time, regardless of where we stay, we will be sure to ask at check-in....we are not frequent travelers.

Great hotel and location. Parking was good and available. The only constructive criticism is that for checking in there isn't a lobby pull up spot but that's okay if you can park in back, but I didn't think I could park in back since I hadn't checked in yet. There was a gate for parking in back that requires the room key. What I didn't know is that I could pull up to the parking gate and push a button to ask to be let in. Since I didn't know that I had to park elsewhere in a parking garage that has a cost. This Residence inn has a daily cost for parking as well which is understandable but not known until checking in.

The main thing we liked was the larger room options with a full Kitchen. Location was great with lots of restaurant options to walk to, parks, the Aquarium, etc. It's a little older and could maybe use a little updating, but otherwise it was very nice. The full breakfast bar was pretty decent as well.
