I stayed here over the Thanksgiving weekend in a studio.
The check in was very good! I didn't like the first room they put me in! I went right back down to the desk as asked for a change and told them what I wanted. They changed it right away! Anytime I talked to the girls at the desk they were helpful and pleasant. The room was nice, everything was clean, and everything worked. The studio was a little bit smaller than the newer Residence Inn's, but still roomy.
The pool, spa area was nice and the water was just the right temp. Plus they had a nice workout room and a billiard table. The Wi-Fi like most places worked fairly good, but they need to upgrade to faster better routers! It was at times a on the slow side.
Housekeeping was a little lax on restocking! When someone is staying multiple nights and when soaps, lotion, shampoo, paper or bath towels get used up they should restock it!
It was a busy weekend and I think they could have used one more person on each shift, especially the morning shift. There were things that were not getting done because they seemed to be one person short to get the little things done. So when a guest pointed out a need it wasn't addressed or the staff would try to accommodate and let something else go! That effects everyone's stay including mine.
I went down to the breakfast area every morning and they really fell down HARD here! The breakfast area is way to small for the number of people they are trying to serve. Everything looked horrible! The quality was suspect and unappealing. I tried to grab few bananas one morning and that was only thing I attempted to eat! Every banana in the bunch had a big split down the inside and shouldn't have been out in the first place. So I only got coffee - when they had it, they seemed to be out half the time and it was almost always the half when I was there. I was very glad I could cook my own breakfast in my room. If the hotel breakfast is important to you, don't count on these guys. Really disappointing for a Residence Inn or anywhere else!
I gave it an "Average" over all because of the under-staffing and the horrendous breakfast room situation. Other than that it works as designed and the girls at the desk were great and in that area were "Very Good!
I am not sure I would stay here again so I would give it a maybe!
I would maybe recommend it to friends and family with a caveat emptor.
It might be a good place to stay if you were traveling with kids. (?)

Thank you so much for staying with us over Thanksgiving and thank you for your feedback! We have already addressed the concerns with breakfast as I know things weren't replenished quickly enough over the four day Thanksgiving weekend. We had numerous families in-house which made us busier than normal, although that isn't an excuse things should have been replenished and kept in order. I appreciate your feedback on breakfast and will post it for the team. In regards to housekeeping I will use your comments as a training refresh and I apologize that they didn't re-stock everything to your satisfaction. Thank you for your kind remarks about the staff!! They do a great job and I love it when we get great feedback on them I will make sure it is shared as well. We look forward to seeing you next time you are in our area. Have a great day!
