2 reviews for Marriott Residence Inn
Oh Steve R, we have so much in common! I too, live in chicago, and I too travel to the Zoo for work... every stinking week. I, however, was smart enough to stop staying at the RI... After 2 straight years every single week of being a weekly customer, I tried to negotiate a rate with them so that I didn't have to pack up every single week, and I could have my cat there; they wouldn't budge. So I said "screw it" and got myself a short-term apt. lease. Works out much better, although now they're trying to screw me too... so we'll see. But I've been here for 2 years as well.. hey, wait a minute... is it the 2 year coincidence???
They did recently renovate the whole place, but having been there for 2 years, I could totally tell that it was purely cosmetic: new linens & drapes, new sofas (still crappy), new mirrors in the baths, but everything else stayed nasty and cheap... this is a privately owned business, so don't blame Marriott!
Like most Res Inns, it's overall pretty agreeable but I think it's the little things that make the differences in these places. The carpet was clearly way cheap, the bathroom tile was old and sorta dirty, and I thought it was a little pricey considering the condition of the place. they only have bare-bones cable too. That said, their pool is real nice. That's about all I can say about this place. Good enough for Marriott, better than most for hotels in general.
