Very pleasant experience staying at this property! Check in was seamless and quick. We stayed in a two bedroom studio unit that was very clean and roomy. Beds were very comfortable and there appeared to be new mattresses. The breakfast buffet that was included with the stay was very good, with a very nice overall variety. There is also a very nice fire pit area, as well as a nice pool and hot tub. We stayed here the night before a cruise, so the shuttle the hotel offers to the port was very convenient and inexpensive. I would definitely stay at this property again.

We stayed 2 days prior to our cruise. We chose Travelynx to pick us up at the airport for $50.00 per couple. Arrived immediately after calling . Did notify them at the time of confirmation of our plane arrival. The Residence Inn is very clean. Clean smell throughout the building. Wanted to get on the 4th floor, just to see if we could see the cruise ships in port. Ours was the Dream. Nope, no luck. Check in people were great. Fast, nice, helped us decide on a place to eat.
Just for your info, there is a trolley, that is outside the inn and beside of Burger King and for $1.25 per person will take you on an hour plus trip round trip. You can get off and on whenever, BUT REMEMBER this trolley, will not give you any change. It will get you close to the beach, like 1-2 blocks at times to walk to it. We rode the trolley and went to Ron Jon's surf store and the Publix grocery store. Did some shopping and just walked around . One day we rode the trolley and it got us at the COVE marketplace. It was around a 20-30 min walk to the ocean where we ate at the Grill, great food. Good prices and fair. It is near the Fishlips restaurant. Near the Residences is Burger King. It is at the parking lot. A hertz rent-to-buy store is also at the parking lot. Rental, I am not sure.
The Country Inn and Suites block you from seeing most of the ships. We ate at Kelsey's Pizza and the pizza was VERY good. We ate at Zachary's also, it was okay. These were within walking distance. Like 5-10 min. Burger King was 1-2 min.
The Residence Inn had a bar outside , fire pit, swimming pool, chairs and tables if you wanted to sit and eat outside. They upgraded us , at no cost, to a 2 bedroom suite. Didn't need it, but it was so nice . Quiet. Peaceful. Loved the fact that you could walk to stores, food places, and beach if you rode the trolley. The breakfast area was SO clean. Each day, was different items to choose from. I did spill the cup of waffle batter. The guy servicing the area for the day was EXTREMELY polite. I felt bad but he made me feel like it was okay, accidents happen. Cruise day, get there as early as you can. You may have to wait 2 min. for a table.
We will stay there again as we appreciated the staff, and room, and trolley to past the time away.

TVs were updated since my last stay here a year ago, but it's past time to replace the uncomfortable sofa and chair, and the air freshener is overpowering sometimes. Additionally, you don't want to go barefoot in the rooms, but don't wear white socks, either, as they'll be black in no time. The Internet service is top notch, with wireless wi-fi everywhere. Breakfasts are very good and consistneoy well-stocked, but with little variety and too small a dining area. The beds and linens are very nice, and bathrooms are well stocked. My biggest complaint is the auditory assault - why in the world do they blare music in every public area? From hallways to dining area to elevators, they play music with screaming lyrics. You can't even talk to your companion while walking in & out of the hotel, it's so loud. Definitely off-putting, it also gives the atmosphere a low quality level.

Not my favorite Residence Inn, but still met my expectations. I travel frequently for the Army and upon check in had some disputes over the rate I originally booked online. This was my second stay at this location and both times have had issues at arrival. The gentleman at the front desk was able to check us in early and also gave us a room on the second floor overlooking the pool.

Breakfast was nice, plenty of options whether you're a grab and go kinda person or if you'd rather have a nice sit down breakfast. Breakfast staff were very friendly and kept plenty of food out. Suggest having breakfast early or waiting until the rush crowd thins out - this place is busy in the mornings!

A nice touch at this property was a fire ring outside. The weather was a little chilly during our stay so it was nice to have the option of enjoying some outdoor time.
