Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

I was in Norfolk for a convention - one of the reasons I booked the Residece Inn is because of the breakfast buffet and I timed my morning so that I could have a substantial meal before my all-day event. When I arrived at the buffet at 7:30 am there was no hot food other than bread for the toaster, and no plates. I thought at the very least I could have yogurt and a coffee but there wasn't any coffee made. When I went back to my room to use the coffee maker there, I discovered that there was no carafe. I didn't have time to call down and ask for one since I had to leave so I found a coffee shop on my way to my event. It made for a stressful morning. In addition to this I had to return to the front desk twice after finding that my room key had stopped working. The first time they simply reactivated the key and the second time I was told that the problem must be that I was keeping my room key in the same pocket as my phone. This is the first time that's ever been the case at any hotel I've stayed at, Residence Inn or otherwise, so I have to believe that the fault lies with the equipment. The person at the front desk acted as though this was a common problem, so if that's true then guests should be informed of that at check-in. Also, I was handed a small bag of Hershey's Kisses when I checked in, and there were no bottles of water in my room. I'd much prefer to have a free water than some candy when I get to a hotel.

I wasn’t happy staying at the hotel because the room had a slow drain in the sink, the bed sheets were dirty, I found seaweed food under the comforter, and the breakfast was served late, around 8.40 a.m., and they cleaned up at 9.30 a.m.

Only One elevator working, the room is out dated, no plug for charging phones unless you have a cube, and of course I didn’t. The sink was leaking, no house keeping and our key pass for exciting the parking lot always gave us trouble and lady on the phone was rude . Nothing around that is open .
