8.4/10 Very good! (1,000 reviews)
Our party of 3 stayed at the Residence Inn for 4 nights. The location was well situated for exploring the city and the room (2 bdrm suite + hide-a-bed) was very comfortable. We didn't use the kitchen, but it was nice to have. The complimentary breakfast was great and we enjoyed speaking the General Manager, Scott, who checked in with us every morning, offering suggestions and ensuring our stay was as expected. I would recommend this hotel and would stay here again, but I would note that the street noise on the Thursday and Friday night was significant enough that I needed to wear ear plugs (Scott did mention the availability of white noise machines too). We were in a 4th floor corner unit at Grafton and Sackville so there are lots of bars and restaurants in the area and it was a few days prior to Halloween which probably added to the outdoor social excitement.

Everything was unique especially the automated system. Enjoyed the spa. We had some difficulty using the living room tv. Could not find local channels. Everything was LG channels. Otherwise the location, decor and amenities was extraordinary. We will tell our friends about this wonderful place.
