Staying at the Residence Inn, the service is on par with Motel 6 and Super 8.

It's actually a nice hotel, but they were unwilling to help me even with the basics (missing sofa bed sheet). Hotel was packed with Yidelech and I figured that might have been the reason. So I requested the stuff I wanted through the Marriott app and got it nicely in a Marriott bag hung outside of my door.

I requested through the app, and they responded 6 hours later that they had an issue accessing the messages and they were going to bring everything requested.

service in a 99%+ occupied hotel is never going to be good. I had an excellent experience there when I went during the quiet season.

Queen rooms do not connect, I think some kings do.

Only about 6 minute drive to the shul.

Beware, they have a sign about what foods have which hechsher by breakfast, but almost everything is not packaged. AKA you can't rely on it.
