“Old and Tired”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Had a reservation for 3 nights but checked out after 1 night. The only way to describe this place is it has been rode hard and put away wet. It is dark and dingy and badly in need of a deep cleaning and refurbishment.

The entire property is poorly lit at night plus several of the exterior lights outside our room made parking area very dark. All of the parking areas are poorly lit.

The entry doors at the office have not been cleaned in a long time. They are dirty and grimy and make a poor impression.

The room had a musty odor. Everything in the room looked tired and beat including the old tube TV. The last time the front door was painted they splattered paint on the tile entryway and did a poor job cleaning it up. There were even some paint spatters on the TV cabinet. The door lock was loose. The door and frame were dirty and smudged. The breakfast bar had deep cuts in it. The door and frame to the bathroom was also dirty and grimy. The louvered door to the heating/AC unit in the washbasin area was covered in dust and grime.

The breakfast was average but the table tops were sticky.

The one night we stayed there seemed to be a lot of non guest foot traffic through the parking area.

While the staff was helpful they couldn't make up for the dingy, grimy rundown property. We moved down the street to the Embassy Suites which I highly recommend.

“Disappointed”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2011

Selected this hotel because of rating on TripAdvisor. Hotel is an old-style Residence Inn and has the appearance of a rundown apartment complex. Suspicious people walking around and lots of noise outside. Rooms need updating and have an odor to them. Not sure the last time I stayed in a room without a flat screen TV. Next time I will stay at the company recommended hotel instead of trying to save some money and get the Marriott points.

“Wonderful place for you and your dog”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2010

person found this review helpful

I spent a month on business in Altamonte Springs and decided to bring my large dog with me. We both totally enjoyed the Residence Inn. It was clean and comfortable and the staff is super nice.

There are numerous places to eat within walking distance and the location is very convenient. Around the property there were ample "pet walk" areas. (However there are a number of stray cats on and around the property that I probably would not have noticed but the dog sure did.) There are also parks nearby and we did venture out for longer walks in the area. The mall and Publix are a short drive away.

You just can't beat a Residence Inn on business. And being able to bring the dog was a huge bonus. If I have to return to Altamonte Springs you can be sure it will be to the Residence Inn.

“Good hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2010

We stayed only one night (passing through). The room that we were first given had a "weak" dead bolt on the door, but the staff quickly remedied the situation. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Downside was that there was no fitness center - so we broke our routine this night. :-( Kitchen amenities were great for eating a meal in.

“Wonderful Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 August 2009

My Fiancé and I stayed here for 6 days from July 28th thru August 2, 2009. Our Stay was Lovely!. We had lots of privacy and the location of our room was very secluded. Yokasta, and her weekday staff was great and did a wonderful job in welcoming us. Our room and the grounds were very clean and I would definitely stay there again!. A bigger bonus was when we arrived, our reserved 1 bedroom suite was upgraded to a two bedroom townhouse suite which was absolutely adorable. What a Wonderful surprise that was.!
