“This is one of the nicest Residence Inn’s I have ever stayed at. Staff, rooms, property are all a 10 out of 10. My only complaint is that there were no to go cups for coffee. We were passing through. I did not have time for breakfast but a coffee to go would have been nice. Otherwise- this is a lovely property!”

“I didn’t stay at the hotel due to car issues and not getting to the hotel. Since I had checked in on my phone no refund was given. Your systems should allow flexibility to cancellation policy, especially for platinum elite members. I was disappointed considering I stay exclusively with Marriott. ”

“Spacious room Incredibly friendly and professional staff- every single employee was trying to be helpful The negatives Worst breakfast I’ve had in a residence inn, more like a medium low budget hotel in quality( although the coffee was good) The room was dark An incredible view of the mountains but the lights in the room just didn’t provide adequate illumination Difficult to read a book unless you’re directly under a lamp Overhead lights were very dim”

“Wonderful hotel! Beautiful, comfortable room, great kitchen, huge tv. Breakfast was terrific. Staff was great to work with. Had a free EV charging station (I wish I had known earlier). Great location just off the freeway, with tons of shops and restaurants close by. My only complaints, the towels were small and pretty thin, and the treadmills in the nice fitness area had the capability to watch tv, but no tuner was connected (I wanted to watch an NBA game while running). Overall, a wonderful experience!”
