Staff was courteous! Alleged smoke free hotel smelled of cigarettes upon entry to lobby during daytime and lobby and elevators reaked of marijuana after dark whe we returned. Maybe it was just the crowd staying there but I don’t think that was the case! Over priced for what I was expecting! Maybe $100.00 a night location. Not even close to other Residence Inn by Marriott. Weed smell was overwhelming and made me sick at my stomach! Beds were firm which I normally like but did not sleep well in it! Lobby store was under stocked. Did not eat breakfast there.

Norma, Las Vegas

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Although the room was relatively well kept, this property did not provide adequate parking for all guests. Another problem we came across was with a guest in the room next door (who we shared an adjoining door with). The guest next door began yelling and what sounded like chanting very loudly that my daughter had to wear noise cancelling headphones to sleep. The guest began either smoking or burning incense that smelled terrible. The hotel staff’s only solution was to move us to another room where a prior guest had smoked in. This is supposed to be a non-smoking property!!

We love this hotel. It is always clean and everyone is so friendly. We love the little efficiency apartment Style King bedroom. Super cozy and perfect for a couple. We come here a lot to go to UAB and it is close to that and also close to multiple restaurants. All within walking distance.
