So we avoided the traffic/parking nightmare. Very nice Inn. The staff was very friendly and helpful. SUPER CLEAN (inside and out)!!! We absolutely loved our room. Nice and spacious. Bed was nice and comfortable. AC was kickin' (made for good sleeping)! When we first got there, the light bulb had burned out in the bathroom. When we called the front desk, they had maintenance up there in less than 5 minutes. The Family Pancake House is right next door, and the Inn offers you a card for 15% off of your breakfast. Lots of other eating places within walking distance. Loved that checkout time was 12:00pm. Most places are earlier, and we like to be able to wake up and move at our own pace and not have to rush to get out. Excellent experience. Can't wait to come back (and see more concerts at Marymoor). Thank you!!!

I stayed here for two nights. My only complaint is the noise. My room was across from the elevator…read moreand I could hear everything. Being a Thursday, there was nearly no noise. But on the Friday, it was a lot. I don't know if I'd stay here on a weekend due to the noise, but on a weekday I absolutely would. Pros: -clean -near restaurants, groceries, and downtown -plenty of parking with no fee -breakfast free -front desk was polite and helpful Cons: -can easily hear everything outside the room (if you wake up really early, it won't be a problem)

I was traveling in a group to Renton, WA for a few days. A couple of groupmates had previously gone…read moreto Renton and recommended the Residence Inn in spite of the overall low rating, mentioning that one of the perks is a free breakfast every morning. I probably would have chosen the nearby Hyatt instead since it looked nicer, but they don't serve free breakfast there. Residence Inn Seattle South/Renton is located on Lake Washington Blvd across from Gene Coulon Park, not too far from The Landing. It's located next to Hampton Inn & Suites, which also serves free breakfast. When you arrive, you'll see a breezeway before the parking lot; the front desk is on the right hand side of that breezeway. There's a door on the left hand side that you can only access with your room key; that door can be useful if your room is on the northern half of the inn. Checking in was simple. Brittany (sp?) was the one who checked me in and gave me a brief overview of the hotel from the free breakfast to the housekeeping every other day as well as mentioning that a card would need to remain inserted in the slot by the front door in order to keep the lights on in the room. When I got into my room, the TV was on to welcome me to Residence Inn. There weren't any issues with my room after my inspection and also taking photos to add to this page. However, one of my groupmates did mention he had to switch rooms due to the toilet not flushing. He showed me video of that so I could see it for myself. Housekeeping is done every other day, so during my three-night stay, housekeeping was only done once. One of the desks in each room has a sign reminding guests of this policy. There's another sign on that desk that has a QR code where you can leave tips for their hardworking staff. There is free WiFi and breakfast for guests of this Residence Inn! WiFi info is posted at the front desk where you check in. Breakfast starts at 6:30 AM on weekdays and 7 AM on weekends. Each morning I had breakfast, they had scrambled eggs in the first heating well, but the three heating wells after that would vary. One had meat patties one day. One had breakfast sandwiches another day. There were some potatoes on one of the mornings, but I'll never forget the pork bacon on my last morning. That's only because the rest of my group went to get breakfast elsewhere, but I stayed behind to get not one, but two helpings of the pork bacon lol. Breakfast also includes the usual suspects like bread, bagels, fruit, yogurt, milk, and a juice machine. I was satisfied with the quality of the breakfast, and they even had some coffee in front as well. For some reason, I couldn't pour any liquid out of one of the dairy pitchers. One of the staff members notice me struggling with that, and she showed me that the lid was rotated the wrong way. After she rotated it, I was finally able to pour some liquid into my coffee. In addition to coffee, they also have dispensers for decaf and hot water. They do have a bar in the same place where breakfast is held, but they also have a food menu per state law. On my second evening there, I went down and ordered a barbecue chicken flatbread. Actually, I would have preferred the barbecue pork, which was $1 less, but I guess they didn't have any of the pork left? But I was more than willing to try the barbecue chicken knowing that is California Pizza Kitchen's signature pizza. Initially, they prepared my order to be eaten at the bar even though I would have preferred to eat in my room instead; the staff happily obliged and even offered me some utensils to go with my takeout box. Shoutout to the bartender, Brianna, who told me she used to live close to where I live now in SoCal! I also appreciate how they were willing to hold my luggage until I was done with work that day. However, when I tried to check out of the hotel on my last morning in Renton, there was no staff present to check me out. It took a minute or two before Geoffrey (sp?) checked me out, which was as simple as handing him my room keys. I didn't even need to say my name; all I had to provide was my room number and a preference for receipt delivery. I requested for them to hold my luggage until I returned later that day, and Geoffrey provided me with a numbered tag that I needed to return to get my luggage back; I don't know what I'd do if I were to lose that tag. I returned later in the afternoon where a couple of different front desk agents struggled to get my luggage back. It took them a while to figure out where my luggage was, even after I mentioned Geoffrey's name. Luckily, it didn't take much more than a few minutes before I finally got my luggage back. Overall, it was a decent stay at Residence Inn, and I can see why one of my groupmates recommended it. Bed was comfortable, and so was the sofa. No issues with the bathroom either, but the clock on the microwave didn't show the correct time. It was off by an hour and a few minutes, likely due to Daylight Savings Time.

I had a mediocre experience at La Quinta…read more The bare essentials were available. Our stay included wifi, parking, and breakfast. Rooms were kind of dimly lit except for the bathroom. Shower worked fine. Pillows, blankets, and bed were meh. There's also a small fridge and microwave. The heater was great and kept us pretty toasty considering how thin the blankets were. The free breakfast is basically coffee/tea + yogurt, some fruit, and a packaged pastry (like a waffle). On our last night, the bathroom light broke, so we ended up having to use the bathroom in the dark. Showering in the dark - not fun. We asked the front desk guy for help, but no one was going to be around until the next day to repair the broken light.

The good: The…read moreprices are reasonable for the area. There is free breakfast, though it is questionable, and there was little fresh fruit or vegetables. There is a gym! There is a laundry! It smells nice throughout the hotel. The hotel common areas are really clean. 2/4 staff were lovely to work with. The bad and ugly: Room was not properly cleaned...even after asking a few times. There was hair in the bed, the first night, before I laid in the bed. The toilet and tub were not properly cleaned. And that should be enough for a 1-2 star review. Room got cleaner over the stay. Toilet was sorry the whole time, I just sanitized what I could. The twilight zone: The front desk staff was mostly nice, until I got Carly when I tried to check out. I explained to her that as a corporate guest, I needed to itemize and pay for personal items (toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash) separately. Enter the rudeness...and my shock. She seemed nice enough to the other guests. Carly snapped that she needs to see my card...which is obvious if I am about to pay. I handed her both my personal card and my corporate card. I tried to make a joke about how I couldn't refuse to give her my cards anyway. She responded, "Well you could refuse but you wouldn't be allowed out." At this point I looked up for a smile thinking she was joking also...she wasn't. I said, "I would never actually do that. I am (insert my age) and travel for business all the time." She continues to punch in numbers or something and doesn't look up. I asked her to please remember that it was non-food items that needed to be separate. She cut me off mid sentence with a, "Yes I know," or something like that. She was dismissive and irritable. When I asked her why the toothbrush, toothpaste and mouthwash were $40, she realized her mistake. She was very annoyed and then rather than apologize, she sighed and started to attempt to correct the issue. When I reiterated the way the expenses needed to processed on a corporate acct, she rolled her eyes. At this point, I am in the twilight zone...and developing a migraine. I literally could not parse how we got here or what I did to deserve such classless behavior. At the end, it took about 35 minutes and a manager to resolve the issue. The manager was also defensive, not once did she show concern for the way I was treated or customer service. No apology for the mistake or the dirty room. Just equivocations and detours off the issues. Not worth it. Won't repeat the visit.

Love that there are so many designated accessible rooms with lit doorbells for Deaf guests. Breakfast area was clean and well-maintained. Variety in the food was good/standard. Everyone was well-fed by the time we finished. Enjoyed courtyard with my youngest who wanted to bring his bubble wand. The coffee area ran out of hot water in the evening but the bartender was very helpful in filling two cups for us for a hot chocolate and tea. Looked like people were using the self-service laundry facilities regularly. The hotel is close to Costco, Trader Joe's and Target. Room felt a bit cramped compared to other hotels I've stayed at this year. That would probably be my only complaint.

Brand new hotels are always the best ones even if they are super simplistic like this one. There is…read morebarely any furniture in my room. There is a very simple desk, a place to put your bag on and the beds nothing else. I don't know if this was a mistake or something like that but it's super simplistic. But I do appreciate the fact that it's brand new Teh person at the lobby mentioned that it is only one year old. That is always good.

I was completely unsatisfied with my accommodations for the one night that I stayed at this hotel…read more I called in the morning and reserved a room, I was told that it would only be $79.99. When I arrived that night I was told that it would be $89.99. i argued back and forth with the husband and his wife (who barely spoke English so they weren't even understanding me). Finally they gave it to me for the price they originally stated. When I go the receipt it said $87.00 as a result of tax being added. What hotel gives you a non-taxed price when you call and inquire about a room? Shady hotels, that's who. The room was absolutely gross, it was obvious that the room had not been updated in the last 30 years. The mattress sagged and I could feel every spring. Also, I'm pretty sure the owners of the hotel live there. I could hear their children playing loudly all night. No wifi and only 13 channels on the old box television. Also the room that was given to me was for a handicap person! I had to hold the freaking shower head the entire time i showered. I have no idea how this place has three decent reviews, I suspect that they are fake. I stayed at a motel 6 the next day for 45 dollars. It was a million times cleaner and had obviously been renovated in the past five years. I should have only paid $40.00 to stay in a place this bad. Also, no microwave or miniature refrigerator.
