Room was not clean when we arrived, the floor and carpet was dirty, I don't think the room was vacuumed. The table was a little wobbly. Other than that it was good. I loved the kitchen area, and the big refrigerator. The hotel had free warm breakfast, and my family liked it. The coffee was good too.

Clean and friendly, overall very nice room and location

Checked in with a reservation that said we were getting a King and a sofa bed only to find out this property does not offer a sofa bed. Had to farm out one of our kids to a different room. They brought a mattress for our son which was just laid on floor with no cot to put it on. Fridge had food in it from last people room was nice, but could have been a bit cleaner. Marriott front desk says they have expressed to Orbitz that they do not offer what I paid for. Not very happy with Orbitz right now. We have an upcoming reservation in Stockton which I hope does not end up the same. First time I have been disappointed in Orbitz.

Under construction didn’t indicate on website. False advertisement with sofa bed availability

Good price for above average room and amenities. Got a 2-bedroom suite with a foldout couch for a family of 4, quiet room, 2 baths, good free breakfast, for only $25 more than comparable properties charge for a single room with 2 beds, 1 bath and no sofa.

It is a very good place to stay. The only our concern was abnormous amount of Clorox added to the pool and spa tub. It was a strong eyes irritating smell. We even had our hands smelled on the next morning. Other than that, everything else was excellent; will come again.

For the price, you get a lot of bang for your buck. The staff is friendly and the rooms are spacious but overall it was just dirty. The toilets weren’t cleaned, the rug had dog hair (I’m allergic) there was blood in the closet walls, and the tubs were rusted and dirty. We were in a double bedroom non-smoking rook but the minute you step outside it’s reaked of smoke. I had 2 young kids (age 4 and 1), luggage and my disabled mom and they placed us on the 3rd floor, and then mentioned the elevators were not functioning. I have stayed and other Residence Inns and they were cleaner than this one. Was sadly disappointed.

Stayed there 3 nights in the studio during Christmas and it was bad. A whole bunch of things just went wrong: 1. Our room thermostat was broken. Got new room (thankfully). 2. Room cleaning didn’t bother to vacuum or fix the beds. 3. Rear entrance door card reader broke and we had to go around to enter the buliding. 4. Sofa bed is really horrible. We were missing pillows and linens.

Staff was wonderful, rooms were like a studio apartment. Hot healthy breakfast, three night there was complimentary appetizers for guests that was hosted by a very friendly staff member. Overall an excellent hotel. I will stay there next trip.

Didn't have time to use all facilities but glanced at nice indoor pool. Really good breakfast but breakfast area was getting crowded half an hour before closing.

We were going to a wedding and needed room with 2 bedrooms and they had it.

Room was clean and nice,and breakfast very good.my kids loved it

This was a birthday celebration. Best choice we could have made! The staff was fabulous,friendly and very accommodating. It was a lovely stay.

From Check in to Check Out all Staff members were friendly, professional and helpful. The room was spacious and very clean. Great Amenities!! Breakfast had something for everyone. Great location felt safe and secure. Would stay again without hesitation!!!

Stayed here two nights to attend granddaughter's birthday party in Gonzales. First thing you notice is how friendly and helpful the staff are! Room was large and comfortable. We were on the 2nd floor and we did hear the people in the room above us walking about. Asking for 3rd floor room next time. Two electrical plugs on each side of sink (one for the coffee pot) didn't work. We just moved the pot and went on! There are many great eating places near by, and Ihop across the street, but the breakfast that comes with your stay is more than enough to fill your tummy! We will stay here again for the next birthday in July!
