This is your typical extended stay type place with a full size refrigerator/freezer, a stovetop, and a sink. along with a "dining area" and "office area" in the same room as the bed.  The room was incredibly nice and spacious.  We stayed here for a week and found our stay for the most part to be pleasant.  In fact, we had to check into the Clearwater Beach Hilton later on for a company function, and I found myself wishing we were staying at this hotel instead.

This hotel features the Marriott bed, a foam mattress akin to a Tempurpedic bed.  I liked it so much that I'm thinking about buying The Marriott Bed off of their website.  It was by far the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in.  They even put a sheet on TOP of the comforter on this bed, which is nice, since most of us are probably wondering how many "stains" are on it before we lay on it.  

I've only got two complaints.  ALL of the dishes in the kitchen area had coffee grinds or food stuck on them.  I ended up having to wash all of the dishes by hand because there was no dishwasher detergent for the dishwasher.  Apparently they think you're going to steal Cascade should it be stocked in the room, and only the housekeeping folks carry it.  

This hotel has a free hot breakfast buffet and an event on the weekdays where they have a free dinner.  The free breakfast buffet was pretty decent, although there were days when the "hot" food was sorta cold and gross, and on the last day I found dried up food stuck to the plates for the dinner buffet.

Other than the housekeeping complaints with the dishes, this place was very nice and I enjoyed my week long stay here.
