I was disappointed in this place given the “wonderful ratings. In fairness:
PROS:
1. Location to I-10
2. Exceptional bed, very comfortable.
3. Pet friendly
4. Friendly, welcoming staff
5. Cleanliness
6. Shower is walk-in and work great. Spacious, they provide shampoo, conditioner and showe
CONS:
1. Pet deposit is $100. This is outrageous. I booked last minute and didn’t see $100 fee. Thought it was $50. I will never stay at a Residence Inn or Marriott property again if their non refundable pet deposit is $100 per stay, or per day. Www
2. room was dated, dark, depressing looking. Paint peeling off the bathroom door, some chips in tile, dark carpet and a hideous brown sofa that was low, cheap fabric with vinyl looking leather on back. Fluorescent lighting in kitchen. It looked tired, dingy and worn except for the bed.
3. Bare bones continental breakfast in a small room. given the cost of the room, they could do better.
4. Noisy room next to I-10. I was able to go to sleep but I was very tired. But it was loud enough to be disruptive for light sleepers. That is not Marriott’s fault. Just a reality for rooms adjacent to I-10.
My daughter had the room across from me and could not hear the noise from the interstate but her toilet didn’t work properly. She made it work and reported it the next morning.
The next time I am staying in Tallahassee, I won’t be staying at this Residence Inn. Deal breaker was pet deposit amount. I
