We were traveling from Atlanta, Ga to Maple Shade, NJ right outside of Philadelphia. It was important to us that we find a comfortable clean hotel that would accommodate pets. I was thoroughly impressed with the Residence Inn. You can tell that this hotel has been renovated but they did a nice job, We did have one problem with a terrible summer storm that came through Durham and one of the windows was not glazed which caused
the floor to become very wet. Other than that, it was great.We reserved a 2 queen beds which just happened to be two bedrooms with a sitting area in between which had a fireplace. I felt like I was in an apartment,

The free breakfast and dinner was, nothing to comment on, but you can get your coffee and/ or eggs for free bagels, etc.... Dinner was much more disappointing but remember, it was free.There are plenty of delivery options available if needed. Which we didl it was just SO SO NICE to have our pets with us.


The room was very nice and clean. BUT ......you will be charged a "pet fee" which can range from a one time charge of $75 to $100 a night. That is for all your animals not per animal. Totally worth it for me just for my peace of mind.


So we ended up staying at all Residence INNS Between Atlanta and New Jersey. One more note is that the closer you get to the more densely populated areas, the more of a concrete [Jungle) you will see. So hopefully your animals can use potty pads. Otherwise you may be looking for a bush or clump of grass for awhile. My guys did fine with the potty pads in the
D.C; area. Also in the 'D.C. area we were surprised with a king bedl

All in all I would do it again and stay at the 'Residence INN. And remember,I have 3 dogs,and a16 year old cat.

I really like the idea to have fully equipped kitchen in the hotel room. The free microwave popcorn is really nice add-on :D
The outdoor swimming pool & whirlpool are nice in the summer. Unfortunately not much usable in winter :P
Breakfast is quite basic and just ok.
Nice & big room.

This residence inn is based on the old format of individual house units. It kind of reminds me of a ski village. The rooms are clean and updated so it is overall a great place to stay. The breakfasts at all RI hotels leaves something to be desired, but its free so what can I say. I would stay here again, no doubt about it.

Stayed recently for one night on a business trip. There was only one person doing check in, and there were several people arguing billing issues when I arrived. Finally got to the room, very roomy 2-room suite, more for long term stays, but comfortable for me. Parking was at a premium, as I had to park on the other side of the complex... Morning breakfast was crowded, with not enough seating, and not many choices as it looked at some of the long term guests were "stocking up" on all the breakfast items and taking them back... Overall a good average stay, but I think I will stick with the Springhill Suites nearby in the future. A good value with the corporate rate that was available...
