If you are looking for a location with the customer in mind, this isn't the place. My husband had business in Michigan and the company booked us at this site. I tagged along for some time away. The facility is clean, but the service is lacking. We needed a late checkout on the final day we were there as his meeting didn't end until the same time as check out. I wanted to be able to stay in the room and load the truck when he got back...we only needed an extra hour. I started calling the hotel two days before we'd arrive to see about the late check out. I was told I had to call back the next day as there was no one there to authorize it that day. So I called the next day only to be told they couldn't do late check-outs until the morning of departure. What? That is crazy. We needed to know before then as the check-out time determined when we'd have to load the vehicle and if I'd have a place to wait for him. We checked every day to see about the check-out time only to be told they couldn't tell us anything. The day before we were to leave, the desk clerk told us we should be able to arrange a late check-out that evening. When we came back from dinner, we asked about the check-out again. This time, the desk clerk, who was lounging in the chairs in the lobby, told us we couldn't do a late check-out until the next day and she didn't know why the earlier clerk would have told us we could do it the evening before. So I called the front desk at 12:15 a.m. to request the late check-out and was politely told it would be no problem and it was arranged immediately. Give me a break. I can't believe they couldn't do a late check-out earlier in the week. The company hosting the meetings my husband went to told him they'd had the same issue with the hotel in the past when they requested late check-outs for spouses attending with their spouse. In addition, in-room amenities are missing. No coffee maker is available nor is there one you can get from the front desk. They keep carafes of coffee and ”hot” water in the lobby. The water was lukewarm at best and the coffee was the worst I've ever had. It looked and tasted as if it had been sitting in the carafe since the day before. No closet to hang clothes in the room nor drawers to put anything in. They have storage under the bed and some pegs on the wall to hang things as well as hangars above the refrigerator that are too short to put much on. Our bathroom door wouldn't stay open so we had to block it open with the Kleenex holder. The small working area is next to the register for the heating/cooling so either warm or cold air blows on you while you are working. We saw very few guests staying at this location. Maybe if they kept their customers in mind, they would have more business. I hope my husband's company picks a different location for future stays.

The staff is welcoming, the price is acceptable and the price is high. There is a swimming pool and gym on the first floor.

Very food hotel with clean rooms. Helpful front desk staff. Location is good with good restaurant around.

The hotel okay the carpet where my room was located did not lay flat needed to be tightened. I almost tripped on it a couple times while walking to my room. There was no coffee for the coffee maker For next morning so I tried to call the front desk but the phone in the room did not work. The man at the desk was aware of the phone not working and stated he would get coffee for me which never happened. Saturday evening you could smell cannabis in the hall which was a non smoking hotel. Sunday morning during check out I went to the front desk to tell them the toilet was not working and to get a cart to load my car, I did not find anyone at the desk or at the cafe. When I went back into the room after loading my car to check make sure I didn’t leave anything the bathroom floor was flooded but I could not call the desk since my phone wasn’t working and no one was around in the halls. This hotel needs employees that can be around to help it’s guests! Also phones in the room are mandatory! For the amount I paid for two nights I could have stayed somewhere better and at least had coffee! I won’t be staying at a Marriott any time soon!

PROS: Location. The hotel is in a quiet residential area close to restaurants and shopping Exterior: charming for a chain hotel. Nice courtyard Room size: spacious 1 and 2 bedroom suites. Adequately equipped kitchens Beds: comfortable, though a little soft Breakfast: good choice of hot and cold foods. Crispy bacon! Public areas: cozy and welcoming CONS: Upkeep and maintenance: Bathrooms in particularly bad shape. Peeling cracked paint on walls. Bathtubs with no slip base not scrubbed properly resulting in gray residue on the base. Lack of attention to details: First room we stayed in did not have any working phones. Staff seemed indifferent to this security issue. Reported the problem twice. Apparently maintenance staff was not available to on the weekend. Finally offered us a different room upon my mentioning that I would chat with the manager on Monday. New room had lamp shade in living area dangling by one hook. This is not something housekeeping could have missed. It's just lack of caring. Bedding, though clean, had visible staining on the sheets. These sheets should have been replaced. Not up to Staybridge standards based on other Staybridge locations we've stayed at.
