I had a 3 nights stay during June'2007. All furnishing within the room looked fairly new. After a 36 hours non-stop drive from LA, I thought the hotel was quite nice. I would agree with previous comment that the vacumming could be done better for I found peanuts under the coffee table.
The full kitchen was nicely stocked, and we've made good use of all the utensils that were there. The hotel is at a business district, right next to a mall, very convenient location.
However, the weather stripping under the door may need to be replaced. After the gardener finished with his blower, I found dried leaves and dirt inside my room, closed to the front door.

I spent 3 nights here at the end of April 2007. The hotel is the older style RI layout, which, honestly, I prefer over the newer, one-building high rise style.

The place supposedly was redone recently-finished within the last few weeks. The rooms appear to be in fairly good shape. Could have been better vacuumed and there were lots of little things I noticed, but nothing too bad (mainly a few little dings here and there.)

Breakfast was the usual Marriott select-service hotel food: waffles, egg patties, sausage, breads, etc. Tasty but nothing special. At least they had a better than average variety.


The bus stop is right across the street. You can walk to Yorktowne Center for shopping and dining...2-3 blocks. Also, several new shops and restaurants should be opening in the area in the summer.

Also within walking distance is a Jewel. About 1/2-3/4 a mile walk, but most of it is on sidewalks. A catholic church is about 4-5 blocks away walking. The bus (313) stops within 1 block of each of those locations.

In front of Jewel is a fast-food type place called Culvers. They have hot dogs, burgers, chicken, etc. But the best thing is frozen custard! MUCH better than regular soft serve. Check it out!

My main complaint with the RI is NOISE. Noise from above, next door, outside. (I can deal with outside noise but the people over my head sounded like they threw a dozen 2 x 4s down the steps in their room!) ALso, if people in neighboring rooms are cooking any sort of smelly foods, you can smell it in your room! YUCK! Cooking etiquette please people!

There is a nice Bar-B-Q area with 2 gas grills and a couple picnic tabels for guests' use. And I took advantage. I love to grill!

All in all, I've been in worse, but this place was OK. Free parking, pretty easy to get around with public transportation and a pretty friendly staff. I would give it 3.5 as out of 5 overall

The hotel features an extended stay layout which is nice and very comfy.

Howver, the furnishing could use updating. The layout for the two bedroom suite did not meet my needs. It was a loft and I did not want or value it.

I was appalled by the in-room water heater. I was traveling with my husband, mother, and baby girl. We ran out of hot water mid way my shower. I decided to leave the hotel after this. The staff handled it very professionally but I needed reliable hot water and the loft was not pleasing.

It's very 70's. All very clean but sofa's and mattresses have a sink holes in the middle. Our biggest problem was NO luggage carts. For a hotel chain that is for extended stays ( people with lots of luggage) plus this property has many buildings spread out over a large area. Some are many many steps from the parking lot, again with no luggage carts.
Also, no luggage racks in the rooms, so suitcases had to be left on the floor.
Breakfast looked nice but although the seating area was large, it was always crowded with no deats available.
TV channels were very limited.

Too many Hotels in this area to ever stay here again.
