Vastly overpriced: No working waffle makers, no waffle batter, then breakfast got worse. Tired and tepid scrambled eggs on "buffet line" never joined by anything edible when supposed to offer potatoes, meat, biscuits. Stale cresent rolls were in a steam tray in place of real breakfast items, probably to freshen them up (that failed). If I wanted coffee and a blah, sugary donut, I would not have paid Residence Inn prices! One undertrained buffet host was not enough to give adequate service to a mixed crowd of business travelers and families. Is this a new Marriott policy designed to discourage too many people from eating their buffet breakfast? Not enough plates, etc. to go around and the tables were not packed.

It was a bad sign that debris on hallway floors accumulated and was never cleaned or vacuumed during the stay. Big property has just one teensy elevator. No one seemed to be in charge, front desk staff AWOL after check-in.

Exterior lights annoyingly shined in suite windows, Army Trail Road noisy and building A/C machinery the same. One bedroom suite smallish, two thick TVs with decent cable choices. No couch, just a chaise lounge good for one person and not so much for two. Easy chair. Wireless internet. Deceptively nice flower garden in front of hotel.

Advice: stay elsewhere and eat breakfast out. Calling property "no frills" which is bad when it is supposed to have amenities.

The hotel was nice, and i was at the ground floor. The morning fog and the greenery are admirable combination. My suite had a big fridge and a kitchen too. I preferred cooking as it was a 3 months stay. Nice service. they would shop for you - just leave them the booklet signed with the commodity and even the brands.
Overall great stay and i would recommend it to everyone travelling to Bloomingdale..

Top 3:
1. Price. Paid $119 for a Studio using discount coupon code. (Google it!)
2. Breakfast. Nice hot breakfast selection. Oatmeal was great! They also have an evening snack hours.
3. Extra stuff. Fire place, basketball court, clean pool with Jacuzzi...

Bottom 3:
1. Shower. Weak water pressure. Couldn't take a bath as the bath tub water stopper didn't function properly. Spoke to the manager as I was checking out.
2. Noise. Close to the street.
3. n/a.

I am a business traveler and prefer hotels like the Residence Inn that are comfortable and have more room. This Marriott Residence Inn is terrific for its' service and ammenities. The front desk staff gave me the exact type and room location I asked for and the breakfast was great. I will come back to the Bloomingdale Residence Inn when I return for business. I would also select a Residence Inn when I travel with my family, thank you.
