We have been staying at this Residence Inn every year (sometimes twice a year) since it opened in 2003. It has always been my favorite Residence Inn and our stays have always been good. That being said, this year it was different. We stayed in Sept for 6 nights and again in Oct for 3 nights. The Property is getting a little weathered and is in BAD need of a remodel. Furniture, carpet, wallpaper, drapery, appliances, it all needs replacing. Bed was still comfortable but the pillows were flat and completely worn out. We had different rooms for each visit and they both did have a strange odor. (Housekeeping seems to be overlooking a lot of things that should be addressed) On our first visit the evening meal and the breakfast buffet was a joke. There was a family staying there that emptied every dish and there was never anything left for anyone else.(They never missed a meal) ( One woman took 4 big cinnamon rolls and put them in her purse) (Another family member Filled a cereal bowl full of chicken tenders) I eat alot, but that seemed a little extreme- even to me. The quality of the breakfast on the second visit was very poor until Sunday morning. (Eggs were like they had sand & ocean water in them the first two mornings) We had to eat elsewhere.
This makes me SAD to write a bad review because this property used to be top notch. Not sure if we will stay here again until it is remodeled.

Dear nvky,
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback regarding your stay at our hotel. I do apologize that your visit on this trip was less than satisfactory. We strive to make sure every guest is completely satisfied before leaving our hotel and I assure you that we are taking steps to address the issues you experienced.
I do want to let you know that we have plans to renovate our hotel lobby during the end of this year/beginning of 2012. This will be a comprehensive renovation including all facets of our Gatehouse as well as our Patio area. We also plan on completing a renovation for all guest rooms in the 2nd quarter of 2012. We hope this will address your concerns with the condition of many of the areas you mentioned. We have been making efforts to improve both our breakfast and evening social hour food. I do apologize that you didn't experience the superior quality we intend to provide our guests. I have informed our staff of the issues you mentioned with breakfast and the reception. We will monitor it better from now on to ensure everyone has a fair chance at enjoying our complimentary dining options.
I hope that you will reconsider visiting our property in the future, after the renovation to see the difference and improvements we are making. We truly value you as a guest and hope for another opportunity to make things right. Thank you again for your comments.
Sincerely,
GM
