  • This seemed like a great hotel on the surface, but they really missed the mark on cleanliness. Too bad--it's a nice property in a great location. Full thoughts on TripAdvisor: www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserR...

    If you're ever in Seattle go to the Residence Inn at the water front near the space needle. They have balconies with the view of either lake union or downtown Seattle and the space needle! Its beautiful😊 just an FYI when staying at a hotel and your unsure if your bedding and towels are clean just ask the front desk for new ones, that's what I do!

    2:27 I did not know that some hotels gave you a complimentary bag of microwave popcorn, I knew about the coffee and tea, but popcorn? That is one of the most interesting things to see in a hotel like that.

      That's been a Residence Inn signature as long as I can remember dating back into the 1990s.

    good review as always jacob. the issues in your room i would suggest are not to marriott standards (ive stayed in many). the sofa blanket in the cupboard is gross, i usually dont touch these as its widely known they dont really get washed. overall its a nice room, but they need to tighten up their cleaning and focus on attention to detail.

    I hope they gave you enough Reward Points for at least a free night. We have stayed at several Marriott locations in La Jolla and Palm Springs and any time their was ANY problem we got a free night. One time it was over the hot water that had stopped working for a couple of hours after I had taken a shower and we got the stay free, and I didn't say anything. They insisted.
    I will say those bad experiences happened only twice and I would not hesitate recommending them, except for the one you stayed at. I can't believe they had a circuit panel in a guest room. The place looked pretty nice if hairs aren't a problem, Yeech...
    Our base line for a lousy stay was at the Pony Soldier Inn in Walla Walla Washington. Check out time was Noon. At about 08:15 the office called and asked if the Maid was in our room. OK we fall back to sleep and again they call about half an hour later, same thing and again one more time
    .At checkout I told them we had a great experience visiting my old hometown with the exception of them giving us the "Bum's Rush"
    It was weird, maybe we were the only guests on a vacation? How lame, "Is the Maid in your room"?

      I picked up a used Sony HX30V last year for cheap as a replacement for the TX20. Intended just for 'out the window' footage during trip reports, but sometimes the Handycam won't fit in my bag when I have to pack for longer trips so it finds other uses.

    It seems maintenance and cleaning at Marriott properties are not that great.
    If you saw my review of the Courtyard Marriott in Littleton, MA, there was hair and lint in the bed linens, latches that stick or don't work often, or doors getting stuck. The bathroom had toothpaste on the bathroom sink, and not shown, soap scum all over the shower (similar to the one you had there). There were filthy hand prints all over the bathroom doors and elsewhere.

    • @TheElevatorChannel
      @TheElevatorChannel  6 лет назад +2

      Most of the non-full Marriott properties (i.e. Courtyard, Residence, Fairfield, etc...) are indecently owned and operated. And it shows sometimes. They don't seem to have very high standards for their franchisees so these places can be hit and miss. Hilton seems to do a better job based on my personal experience but my company rarely uses Hilton properties as our contracted hotels.

      Will Stonehocker if there were more Hyatts, I'd get on their rewards program, and try to rack up some points, but there's rarely more than one or two in a metro area, so there's not a lot of choice. And they're non-existent in non-metro areas. Hilton, Marriott and IHG seem to be the best ones for that sort of thing.
