It was fine, although very expensive for such old facilities. The sofa bed was terrible, very uncomfortable, and they complained a lot about my dog. Other than that, everything was fine.

My family and I had a very comfortable stay and the room was clean. Kind of smelled a little off when we got there but it was easy to over look. Breakfast was ok I like that they kept the coffee out after breakfast.

Great stay at Residence Inn
Our one bedroom suite was huge, and the full kitchen was perfect for our family's needs. The room itself was clean, though the carpet was a little stained. Looks like our previous guests did a terrible job washing dishes, so we rewashed them before using.
The staff was super-friendly, and warned us that most people complain about the springs in the sofa bed mattress poking them. My 18-year-old daughter didn't mind that. Free breakfast was decent, with a large variety (though the fruits weren't the best quality). Note: If you come here expecting to use the pool and fitness area, they are really small.

We checked in late and the receptionist was so helpful and had a great attitude, He made sure we were aware of breakfast hours, gave us a little welcome gift and extra coffee for the morning. We were there for a soccer tournament and we’ll be staying there again.

How is this a Marriott property!?
It was disgusting. My room smelled terrible, the door looked like someone tried to pry it open, the carpet was stained and ripped up. I left within 15 minutes of checking in. I had to call repeatedly to get a refund which was finally issued after two days. I don’t recommend anyone stay here.
