Mixed Bag - Adult-Only Stay
Although our kids are grown, we still enjoy Residence Inns and have had good experiences. In this case, the room was very good and there are no complaints there - the rating would have been better if the room was the only thing being rated.
But the breakfast quality and size of the breakfast area felt less than some other Residence Inns and the staff was less experienced and informed based upon my interactions and inquiries. It is not really the fault of the property there is no public transportation method for getting downtown without driving at least five miles - say to a ballgame or to the Gaslamp - but it still cost it in this rating. Finally, although mid-stay rate increases do happen and it might not be the fault of the hotel, receiving one during a routine middle-of-the-week stay also impacted our rating.
