Went to a concert so stayed here to be able to walk to and from. This hotel is phenomenal- the only downfall was the quadruple price for the night since it was a concert night but hey, it is what it is right? Breakfast was tasty and good choices, the room was gorgeous and huge. I would never stay here again on a concert night due to the price but I would definitely stay here if I was traveling through.

A great time…

I love this hotel. I stay here once a year for a gathering of friends and a sports event, and have the best time. Clean, comfortable, and quiet! The breakfast is superior to competitors & others; it’s the quality and taste. Simply fantastic. Thank you.

I did not like the fact that my room had a shower with only one shower door on it, so I basically took a cold and Very uncomfortable shower. I called the front desk because I thought the shower door was missing or something and the girl told me that some of their rooms only have half a shower door for Aesthetic. I would never rent a room knowing it only had one shower door and my shower would be wide open like that. I also found rose petals all along the side of my bed so someone was there for Valentine's Day doing something I don't even want to think about while I had my grandchildren there with me. I've stayed at several different residence Inns before and this had to have been the worst. I definitely won't be back to this one

The pet fee (per stay) is pretty high. $150 for the first pet, and $50 for a second. Maybe that makes sense for longer term stays, but that's steep for a single night!

Galentines getaway

My girls and I decided to celebrate Valentines day with a trip. The indoor pool was their favorite part as it is the middle of winter! The room was comfortable and spacious and provided everything with ease. A side note the shampoo and Conditioner were incredible and I need to find them online for home!! Overall a great stay and definitely up to the Marriott standards we are used to!

This hotel is well kept, clean and modern. We stayed in a 1 bdrm suite and the room was perfect for 4. There was a good size fridge, nice electric range with a full size microwave. There was a full size sink and a small dish washer along with all you need to prepare a meal. The breakfast in the lobby was very good, lots of options and the coffee was on point (very important)! We will be back in the future!!
