This was my first stay in a Townhouse Suites by Marriott, and I have to say that I was a bit disappointed. Perhaps my expectations were a bit too high, though.

We had four rooms booked here for a family event. The check-in procedure was simple and hassle free. The rooms were OK, certainly adequate but not great. I appreciated the blackout curtains which fully blocked out all of the light without leaving a "rim" of light around the edges. My room #130 was WAY too cold upon arrival so I had to turn the heat on. Then it was too warm. An hour's fiddling with the thermostat finally got it comfortable.

No widescreen TV set here, just an old-fashioned tube set and a small one at that, probably was a 17 inch cathode ray tube TV. I was a bit surprised at that because the hotel seems to be fairly new. The place was sleep-friendly quiet at night but the bed was not very comfortable. I woke up repeatedly through the night because of that.

There's no breakfast at this hotel, just coffee service in the lobby. There are also coffee makers in the rooms. The coffee in our room 130 was OK, but in my sister's room it was absolutely undrinkable. She thought there were cleaning chemicals in the brew, probably from a carafe that was not rinsed completely after cleaning.

There were not enough electrical outlets at the bedside table for the table lamp and the radio plus a charger for other equipment, but there were enough outlets elsewhere in the room to charge the cell phone and the computer. I still needed to unplug the bedside radio in order to provide plug space for needed medical equipment. These days at least three plugs should be at each side of the bed if not four. Two just isn't enough.

The wi-fi service provided a good connection and it was free. I didn't try the outdoor swimming pool but it looked clean and well-maintained. It was very small, however, and it would not have been sufficient for lap type swimming.

For the price of $89, I think it was a reasonable hotel. I j ust expected more from the Marriott chain.

Room was clean and ready at 2:30, The woman who checked us in was very polite and friendly. We had a Suite, Queen w/ couch pullout. Full sized fridge, microwave, dishwasher, fully stocked dishes, etc. Comfortable bed, nice carpeting, windows open for a nice breeze. The only Problem that I see is if you need some time in the room to relax and watch TV, it is terrible. Our room had a 19 inch Phillips tube TV. They want you to rent movies of play the video games and who would waste their money on a tv that size. My only complaint.

We came to town for a funeral and had to stay to take care of my father's affairs so the full kitchens made it easy to contain costs. The staff was so kind and thoughtful during this difficult time for our family. One even drove our late arriving son to the funeral home and wouldn't accept a tip. Besides the room being spotless, the whole hotel was well maintained. The fact that it is located right next to the mall and a gazillion restaurants made it even better!

This is a great motel. Very clean, and well stocked. The bed and pillows were the greatest. The kitchen was well equipped and the shower had lots of hot water and water pressure. The staff was very friendly. My daughter and I stayed there for 2 nights, and the room was cleaned and the coffee was restocked . The room smelled wonderful, such a clean light scent. Check in and check out was smooth and flawless.
This motel is a short walk across the parking lot and into the Lakeside Mall. Much more shopping and many restaraunts nearby.
I will definately stay here again...no question. At $89 a night for a studio room is very reasonable.
