Hotel was nice and staff were friendly. Our room was not as clean as I would expect. The couches and floors were dirty with stains. Additionally, the hair dryer turned on by itself and caught fire. The staff did credit us 20,000 Marriott reward points.

The front desk was welcoming. Check-in was quick. When staying at a hotel, the most important feature is whether it is clean. The Residence Marriott fit this requirement in all areas. The breakfast selection was extensive. The eggs tasted & looked like scrambled eggs. The area was clean. The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was stocked well with towels. It was a great stay.
