Never stayed in a Residence Inn before. We were happily surprised at how nice the room was. Staff at this location were top-notch. Only small complaint is that the walls seemed thin.

We attempt to stay at the Residence anytime we are in town for my son's hockey games/tournaments. We've stayed at many hotels for his hockey events over the years and this is without question the best of the best. Thank you!

Clean and comfortable. A great place.
Everything was exceptionally clean...the public spaces, our room, even the elevator. I even checked corners and they were dust-free. Check-in and check-out was quick, friendly, and efficient. I loved the amount of space in the room...it felt more like a small apartment than a hotel room. The included breakfast was fine...slightly better than what you'd get at a budget motel, but just barely. However, it got me to lunch just fine and saved a stop (and cost) at a restaurant. The coffee, however, was pretty bad. Overall, a fantastic place which will be on my short-list if I'm in the area again.
