Booked a 2-room with marriott points for 2 nights while touring colleges in North and South Carolina. Very spacious and clean. Indoor pool, seems like a nice area but about a mile away, questioned the safety. Nice breakfast. Slow elevator.

We stayed at the Residence Inn for two nights while visiting family in the area. This was my second stay at a Residence Inn and I was pleasantly surprised. We arrived at night and were given a room on the first floor (I never like rooms on the 1st floor but it was the only room available). The front desk offered to change our room the next day when one became available. However, after entering the room, seeing the cleanliness, and smelling it as well (I'm extremely picky), as well as the standard amenities in the room -- no room change was necessary. The room was nicely appointed and decorated. We had the complimentary morning breakfast buffet which was adequate. The staff in the breakfast area and front desk were extremely pleasant and accommodating. In the evening they featured complimentary soup and salad. We missed the complimentary barbeque the night before. The hotel was quiet even though we were on the first floor, and appeared to have an older guest clientele as well as business travelers. It was a very pleasant, relaxing stay.

I would definitely stay again.

This is our second trip to this hotel. We stayed at this hotel to attend the Nascar All Star Race. While it's about a 15-20 min drive to the track, it is away from all the hustle and bustle around the speedway. Right up the street- around the corner is a Great shopping Mall, with quite a few good restaurants to choose from. Everyone at the hotel was nice, and offered help when asked. The room was clean. I am very picky when it comes to a clean hotel room - and the bathroom was spotless. Also has a small eff. (full-size fridge, dishwasher, microwave, stovetop). Comes in handy if you make lunches, breakfast. They do offer free cont. breakfast too. Ate there once, and it was good - fair amout to choose from. Overall, very pleased. Will be back again next year :)

The rooms were ok. The staff were not very helpful or friendly at all. The pool area was not cleaned one time during our week stay. The hot tub did not work the 1st night that we were here and we had to ask for them to fix it. I asked them to call us when it was ready and they never did.

Then to top it all off - our car was broken into on our last nights stay - a Thursday night. The staff was not helpful at all except to try to give us the number for the police non emergency number which was not correct. We left the hotel after getting our smashed window fixed 4 hours later than we had planned. 12 cars were broken into including ours.

I would not recommend the Residence Inns at all. This is the 2nd time that our car has been broken into at a Residence Inn. (the other one was in Atlanta - 3 months ago).

Something needs to be done about hotel parking lot security besides posting the "we are not liable" signs!

I expect a little bit more security at this type of Marriott hotel.
