Delayed checkin because sprior customer's purchase was not bar coded in computer software. waited 13 minutes to be greeted. Confirmed reservation w/Expedia was not in 'their computer. Finally was asked to resubmit CC for incidentals(not reqd with Expedia or ANY booking online). Their computer did not process. When submitted a second time...computer froze. Desk clerk projected their inefficiencies and frustration when talking to the manager because we were hoping that a savvy business decision would be to apologize and allow us to go to our room after a nine hour trip as we had been at front desk for 27 minutes from the time we entered the building and as seniors ...would not be trashing the room . But that did not happen. The room was fair at best B-/C with a broken remote, no, DoNotDisturb sign,no tissues, no paper towels but most importantly...the room smelled like a zoo! Carpet needs to be replaced not powdered and vacuumed. . Common sense, improvising and expediency are three ideas that come to mind. Very disappointed!

I am terribly pissed, disappointed and not to mention my plans for a stress free New Years Eve was completely ruined. I was NOT able to check in to the hotel because of the incidentals deposit could not be put on the card I used to pay for the room through Expedia. Card was not accepted and they wouldn’t take a cash deposit either. I was forced to go elsewhere and pay for another room. I want a FULL REFUND for the amount I prepaid for the room at Residence Inn.

Perfect for a few days stay. The folks who work here are, without a doubt, friendly and efficient. Out of their control, though, is that the $23/night parking fee does not guarantee a spot in their lot, which is pretty frustrating.
