“Great Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

My family and I stayed at this hotel on the way home from a cruise in Miami December. I really enjoyed this hotel, as I do other Marriott hotels. The room was a very nice size and 5 of us stayed comfortably. The breakfast was enjoyed by everyone. The staff was extremely friendly. We arrived late due to an almost blowout and all of the places of businesses for tire service were close, but our room was ready and warm, as the temperature had dropped dramatically.

“Even friendly to Gators”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

Take a good look to the icon I use on my reviews and you'll understand the title of my review.
For a diehard alum and fan of the University of Florida, staying at the home of the Florida State Seminoles was a little scary and intimidating at first but, the staff at this hotel couldn't have been nicer and more helpful. .
My airplane came in in the morning and unexpectedly I was able to check in and get a room that same morning. They didn't have to but they were very accommodating The front desk lady was nice enough to give us directions to and from different places in the city. The hotel is within a few blocks from all the museums and things to see in our capital city. I highly recommend that every Floridian see, learn and take time to see Tallahassee.
The breakfast at the hotel was the best one I have had in a Residence Inn. Yogurt parfaits and fresh fruit are common items at the breakfast buffet.
My internet connection was extremely slow and barely usable and they even sent a technician to my room. Most hotels would have said, "oh, well...". Very good customer service because even though my problem wasn't solved, the tech gave me an Ethernet cable to make due. Kudos to this gentleman.
The only minor complaint I had was that the room didn't feel clean enough. There was an old towel under the bathroom sink and it just didn't leave a good impression. The workout room was small and a bit inhospitable.
Overall, I had a great stay and I recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the capitol or the university.

Room Tip: Higher floors are less noisy.

“Great place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011

We stayed here for a week while visiting family in Tallahassee. We had a suite (1 bedroom + living room). The kitchen was fully appointed (cooktop, dishwasher, full size refrigerator, microwave). Breakfast selections were great, and on Monday through Thursday, there was a manager's reception with a variety of snack-type foods. Unfortunately, we were there when they were refinishing the pool, so that was not available. The hotel is convenient to FSU and downtown was within walking distance.

“Great stay....just one problem...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 October 2011

Hotel was great for my Homecoming!!! It was walking distance to FAMU's campus, provided excellent breakfast, safe environment and an overall clean and comfortable room. My only issue was the drainage in the tub in my room. Let me say that because I was so busy, I didn't call to complain. However, when showering, the water was draining very slowly and was up to my ankles by the time I was done. Maybe someone would have addressed this, but it was homecoming and I was in on the go and just didn't have time. Otherwise...it was great and I plan to return next year!!!

“Nice suite Very good breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Used points to stay here and were not disappointed. Arrived in time for Manager's Reception on Wednesday evening (hamburgers which were cooked too much but still were free :). Nice 1 BR suite was very spacious and well decorated. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choices. Easy access to FSU and Capitol area. Only complaint was road noise--would suggest asking for an inside room away from street to anyone else.

Room Tip: Ask for inside room (not on street side)
