What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“The Residence Inn is being renovated. We were in a family suite and it was fantastic! Convenient kitchen amenities. Spotless and all brand new furnishings. The front counter staff was very helpful with little things we had forgotten to bring. And more. Will return!”
