As always, I was staying here on a work trip. I had booked three nights and four days. The thing that I like most about Residence Inn is that you kind of get to move into your own apartment for a few days. It has a full kitchen, dining room and office space area, a living room with a couch and a TV, a separate bedroom and a separate bathroom. It's not the most luxurious of hotels, but it can be quite cushy. I like the fact that I can grocery shop and cook as opposed to eating out all the time. They also have complimentary breakfast that they serve each morning. Although, not the tastiest of breakfasts, they do have more than just your continental spread. Gotta love that southern hospitality. I was greeted by a very kind, young woman. When I got to this hotel, I was in an irritated mood and sort of had a lot of needs and questions because Delta had misplaced my luggage until the next day. It was about 9:30 PM when I checked in, and I really needed someone to be nice to me and tell me that there was a place nearby that I could get toiletries and a pair of pajamas at. Luckily, the girl checking me in was very nice and helpful and told me there was a 24 hour Walmart around the corner. Things were finally looking up for me in this moment. The amenities are not great. Starting with the fitness center, it smelled like absolute mold in there. I didn't know if it was coming from the air conditioning or what. I'm talking about, it should not be inhaled in anyway, especially from someone who is sprinting on a treadmill gasping for fresh air. I would go as far as to say that even when I filled my water bottle up with the water in the gym I felt like I tasted mold. Luckily, I believe that they are aware of this so they said that you can go up the street, about a mile and a half away and use Max Fitness' property which is a great gym that I enjoyed immensely. There's also an outdoor pool. I'm not sure if it's heated or not but I did not see one single person out there the entire time. They do have an adorable outdoor fire pit with chairs around it but it was far too cold to take advantage of that when I was there. It was pretty much raining the entire time. There is a downstairs lounge that has snacks on certain days in the afternoon and again, breakfast every morning. There's a tiny little snack stand that you can purchase snacks and a few microwavable meals as well. What irritated me is, upon check out - it was about 430 in the morning and I had a 6 AM flight. I went to go check out, and the doors were locked. I didn't have my key card on me so I was knocking on the door. Nobody came there and it was raining. Meanwhile, I'm standing out in the rain, soaking wet and freezing while whoever is working there is in the back room doing... whatever they were doing. Finally, I had to run back to my car - get my key card, and let myself in. The woman had no excuse but just apologized for not being there and checked me out as soon as possible. Overall, this was not any kind of luxurious stay, however it wasn't horrible either. The most redeeming thing about it was the space that you get. It was also a pretty high rate for a Residence Inn, so I'm not sure that you really get your moneys worth. This would not be my first choice in the area, but it's definitely not the worst. The location is really good because you're in the center of all kinds of shopping, restaurants, and fun! Enjoy. read more
