    We had an excellent stay. The check in staff was super - she gave us free parking as we had some long walks to our destination. She also upgraded our room. Not sure it's true but our room was great. Breakfast buffet was a little uninspired but seating, etc was very nice. Overall we had a great experience

    I checked into a room that had no shower curtain and no bath towels. The front desk personnel did not seem to concerned about it. The room we never served during a 4 night stay even after I requested that it be done on the 3rd day. I might have well stayed at a motel 6

    Stayed with my husband and our 3 young boys, ages 8, 4.5, and almost 2. Room was very spacious. Large fridge was very helpful for our 4 night stay. Grubhub delivered quickly everytime. Breakfast was free and pretty good, kids liked the waffles. Pool was a tad chilly but if you went all the way in and under it wasn't so bad. The park across the street was FABULOUS! We went there everyday to get the kids energy out. Well worth the price here.

  • Teresa Mar 2026 · via expedia

    The only reason I booked this hotel was for the indoor pool, but the pool was closed! There was no notification that the pool was being renovated during booking, no reduction in price either. The hotel room was damaged and seemed outdated. The refrigerator had a large dent. The shower was old, wouldn't completely switch to shower mode and squealed loudly. It was not relaxing. The toilets were very low to the ground, which was strange. We did enjoy the separate bedrooms, living and dining area.

    the elevators were very slow and were held together with plywood. I booked this place because it was marked WONDERFUL well it was not .When checking out the clerk had to move so a drywall patcher could patch the wall..that is not wonderful. If a property is under construction and amenities are not available don't charge the regular price because you don't get what you paid for

    The hotel is undergoing lots of construction. Loud banging in the lobby, paint fumes and lots of terrible smells. The hotels.com policy requires they disclose construction but there were no indications on the website that the hotel was being renovated. The are violating their own policy. I notified hotels.com customer service and was told its not their problem. Very bad,

Only issue we didn't have housekeeping, clean the room, our choice, we did run out of toilet paper and it took a while to get a new role because housekeeping is not on site overnight. They just need to keep some in the office. Other than that all good.

    Nonetheless, the pool was great. It was cold, but once you got used to it, it was no big deal. They have a lifeguard on site, which is cool I suppose. There’s also a splash pad across the street, which my kids loved. There’s a playground also, and lots of different eating options within walking distance. The breakfast was alright. It wasn’t anything to brag about, but it fed the family. The WiFi works well, and we didn’t pay for the up charge.

    After booking our suite in Oct '24 and confirming it (and the availability of a kitchen to cook for our food-allergy kid) in Dec. '25, we received an EMAIL on the MORNING OF our check-in (May 23) that they had double-booked (blamed Expedia) and could not give us that suite. Thankfully, I saw the email and called them. They offered us an acceptable alternative (two rooms, but nearby and with a full kitchen), which we took, only to receive a call a few hours later (30 minutes before we were leaving on the 7.5 hour drive to D.C.) This time they told us that their "sales department" wouldn't give us those accommodations either, and offered us two separate rooms without the kitchen space/amenities needed, and assured me that they were doing us a "favor" by moving things around so that we could stay there in spite of the error. By the grace of God we found another hotel with the proper amenities and enough beds, but that was difficult on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. Their blunder could've really ruined a long-planned trip. I then couldn't get them to confirm the refund (they kept stating that it was a busy Friday and they didn't have time to deal with that right then, but it would get taken care of), so I had to call Expedia and they made that happen for us. I wouldn't trust this hotel to be organized enough to guarantee you a room (even when it's been paid for months ahead AND confirmed on the phone with Marriott). It was an absolute mess.

    The hotel was clean. The continental breakfast was not satisfactory. It was open until 9:30. We arrived at 8:45 and many things were out and not restocked. My husband asked for cereal. While making waffles they were taking away the batter. When asked to keep it available, they poured it hastily for him and then removed. They then proceeded to lie to the next young man who inquired at 9:15 for the batter and said it was out. The breakfast was cleaned up by 9:15. For the price you pay, this experience should not be happening.

One bedroom with full kitchen including dishwasher. Room was very clean. Mattresses were uncomfortable unfortunately. Hot water and plenty of towels. Despite the lumpy mattresses and few non working outlets, this is one of our favorite hotels and we love to come back. Did I mention supermarket nearly? Also indoor parking for $29 a day. Enjoy your stay.

My only complaint is parking is over $30/day and I found my parking pass card did not work in the electronic gate reader the morning of my second day which required having to back my car out of the entry to the underground parking and park my car outside the hotel and return to the front desk to get a new one. An inconvenience but not a big issue. The staff throughout the hotel is very pleasant.

    This visit was markedly less pleasant than previous ones. Service desk was not adequately staffed, long waits for service while a large group was checked in one day and a long telephone conversation with a customer on the other day. Once service manager turned to me he was professional and helpful. I had to call attention to a mishap with a dog defecating in the doorway which the service manager did not notice because he was so busy. When we got to our room the light in the bathroom was out. Service manager got someone to fix it fast. In the morning there was no consistent hot water in shower...ended up taking cold shower. Not what you expect in a Residence Inn., We appreciated being moved to another room but it was markedly smaller than the one we had been in.

    Great location and good sized rooms. Our particular unit seemed more outdated than others and bathtub/shower wasn’t as clean as it could be. Beds and kitchen were great though. One of us also stepped on a shard of broken glass on the carpet. Breakfast was fine with some variation every day. Parking directly under hotel was a little pricy but worth it for convenience. All the staff we interacted either were friendly and helpful. The biggest downside was the sofa which was not comfortable at all and super noisy anytime someone sat down. Not good enough to use as a bed imo
