Visited the Residence Inn last month and found the property very nice and the staff first class. Some of the amenities were a tad dated, but it was definitely well made up for in the level of service provided and in the cleanliness. Offered a great value with complimentary HOT breakfast buffet and a lively happy hour with free beer, wine and food (the host, by the way, was the most accomodating hotel employee that I have encountered at any hotel in the world! He always went out of his way to serve up pitchers of the free beer and strike up friendly conversation).

Location is great... within walking distance to a huge mall complex with a nightclub, theatre and several restaurants

The suites were well appointed with full kitchens and fireplaces. This was the only hotel I've ever stayed at that had a full-sized range in the kitchen instead of a stovetop.
