This is a very clean well maintained hotel.  Even though at the time I stayed here it was only at 37% occupancy, (prior toThanksgiving) I could tell everything was in order and good working condition.

Residence Inns serve a really good hot breakfast.  Not as good as an Embassy Suites and their custom made omlettes, but still very good.

Residence Inns also serve food at happy hour with beer and wine only one night a week.   The night I stayed here they served salisbury steaks, mashed potatoes, salad, hot fresh french rolls and a variety of drinks including juices, no wine or beer.   Tonite this meal was GREAT.   The salisbury steak leaned more toward meat loaf....which tasted great.   The mashed potatoes looked and tasted home made (bits of skin and occasional lumps)  and the gravy tasty, not just think brown salt water.  The salad wasnt just plain lettuce but a mixture of field greens.  The rolls were fresh and baked there.   They had a thick crispy crust and tender inside.  They tasted as good as any restaurant I have been in.  AMAZING.   This was supposed to be a snack.  I still got something to eat much later in the night, but this could have been more than adequate for dinner for most people.  A "more mature," greying  lady tended the food that night, and she reminded me of a grandmother looking over the quality of food as any critical grandmother could.   The food was that good here.

This is a solid 4 star hotel.   This is a 5 star compared to all other Residence Inns.    The differences are drastic compared to the one In Manhattan Beach, CA.
