The hotel was extreamly nice and clean. The continental breakfast was excellent. Check in was fast and easy. Now the bad, The guest check in people said that I can have Have a millitary discount as Im a veteran. They even said that my rate was high. Then when checking out, a new guest checkout person said that they could not do anything about the discount. That the managers looked into it but could not give it to me. A bunch of garbage. Why say you would, then do noting?? I guess it was a inconvenieence to even try.

The hotel itself is nice and the staff are extremely kind and welcoming. My only issue was the breakfast. The food was dry and not very tasty.

Great Place!

This is the second time we have stayed at the Residence Inn Polaris around Thanksgiving time and both times it has been great. We needed a place to stay while visiting our families and this was the perfect spot. The staff was kind and courteous. We have a toddler and loved that there was a separate bedroom so she could go to bed and we could still be up and not bother her. Also loved that there was breakfast available in the morning and that it was actually good ;) I would highly recommend staying here!

Never stayed in a Residence Inn before. We were happily surprised at how nice the room was. Staff at this location were top-notch. Only small complaint is that the walls seemed thin.
