Residence Inn

We really loved this place! It provided great value for our extended stay of two months, and the staff was absolutely fabulous, friendly and responsive.
First of all, we had a number of pets (4 cats and a dog), and trying to find a pet friendly place that didn’t charge an arm and a leg is rather hard to find (many places charge $ 20 per pet per night, so a month long stay would cost us an additional $ 3000 just for the pets). At Residence Inn, they only charge a one time fee for the final clean up of the pets (I think that it was only $ 75), even though we stayed there for two months! We were able to book a room with a loft that provided enough room for our family of four along with our pets, and it was one of the best deals around. As far as deals, besides having a very reasonable rate, there are a lot of amenities that are included that reduce your overall costs. They have a very good breakfast every morning, and Monday through Wednesday they provide a happy hour with unlimited beer, wine, soft drinks and various foods. They also have a pool, hot tub, laundry room, gym, sports court, and business center that we took advantage of, and they would even go out and do grocery shopping for you and stock your refrigerator. The place is very well located as well as it is just a short walk away from the Vancouver mall, as well as many restaurants, shops, etc.
But enough about the value that the Residence Inn provided. What we were really impressed with was the people who work there! We found them to be so extremely friendly and helpful at every opportunity. We had many conversations with them over happy hour or breakfast, and they make you feel right at home and like an old friend. Any issues that we had, they would do their best to make sure that they were resolved as quickly as possible. The cleaning service did such a great job keeping our rooms clean and worked around our very odd schedules (each day we left a note when we would be out and they would have the place spotless by the time we got back). We really can’t say enough good things about these people that would do them justice!

Picked this hotel because of the loft bedroom option for second bed & the living room & kitchen! Unit worked great for our family of four! Two bathrooms too! Outdoor pool & sports court big bonus for our boys — and breakfast was wonderful!

This place is pretty cool. The people that work there are awesome. The down side is that the beds are really hard. I was asked how they could make it better and I asked if they had a foam topper and they said they did. They even put it on my bed while I was out working. That made my day.

I have stayed here for business several times and stayed here most recently with the family. The hotel is well maintained and looks updated. It is very nice for a Residence Inn. Pool areas at non-​luxury hotels can be sketchy but this one is well kept and spotless. The staff and management obviously care. The shuttle driver in particular went above and beyond by making two trips to the train station after we realized we had lost a bag there. He was cheerful and reassured our worried third grader that everything would be all right.

This hotel is better for travelers with small kids (room set up) & dog (very animal friendly). As a business traveler it was not the best choice for me. I even cancel a pending Residence Inn stay. Not good for business travelers breakfast hours are short 7 – 9 am. This property has two floors yet no elevators. Guest on 2^nd floors carry luggage or baby buggies up stairs.
Hotel interior is very old!!!
Spider in bath tub this morning :(

The rooms are a little dated, the furniture is really showing its age with tears in the fabric. Wifi might be free but it’s not wireless – you have to plug it in, and the plug is by the dining table, not at the desk, which would seem more logical – and if you want it free, it’s slow. You can *pay* for faster connections. We had to switch rooms when the toilet flooded, and the new room was equally bad with tears in the furniture and bony mattresses. Fine for the price but it’s not a first rate place (anymore.. Maybe it was 20 years ago).

We stayed here for a weekend business trip. Great location across the street from a large mall and tons of food. The staff was very friendly, and its 15 mins from Portland airport. My only complaint was the hard mattress.

Excellent location and price. Staff very friendly and attentive. Only 15,000 Marriott Rewards points per night. Located close to the Vancouver mall. Very clean and quiet.

Five stars for a clean, comfortable well-​priced hotel that’s excellent for families, especially if you have more than 4 people to accommodate.
Consistency is key. This branch of Residence Inn’s track record is aces with me: I’ve stayed here 2 – 3 times per year, sometimes 2 weeks at a time, for the last 8 years. My family’s always been happy. Only once have I had a slight problem.
The best deal at most Marriotts is the Weekend Stay promo, which requires 2 nights. Deals are better if you are a AAA or Marriott member.
What’s that really mean, pricewise? $ 115 per night for a bi-​level loft with kitchen, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and a living room with sofa bed that accommodates 6 people, no problem — we sometimes sleep 7 in these units. Killer deal.
If you don’t mind/​have a car to drive 10 minutes into Portland, you will save big time. A similar– same capacity but smaller — unit at the Riverplace Residence Inn is $ 150 + $ 20 parking for their Weekend Stay.
This Residence Inn is a particularly nice example of the chain. It’s quiet and laid out like condos with walk-​ups to each unit. There is an outdoor pool and pickleball court. The grounds and rooms are well-​maintained. The units are more spacious than the average Residence Inn. While not fancy, it’s been great for our big family.
The free morning breakfast buffet is organized, and has a decent assortment of cold & hot items. My little ones always find something to hold them until we go out for brunch or lunch. As others have noted, it’s busy.
They allow pets for a fee. With the walk ups, some sliding doors on ground units and decent grounds for walking — it’s excellent for dogs.
Specific note to Priceline Bidders: It is VERY DIFFICULT to win this hotel. There are no tricks to narrow down to this location. I’ve never managed to get this property on a bid. It is listed as a possible, however. The weekend stay price is still an excellent deal if you’re sleeping 4 or more.

Stayed here last month. Great quiet location. The whole staff was great… We stayed in the 2bedroom loft suite… Very specious. The breakfast they served was okay but it was so busy they couldn’t accommodate all the people staying there… One morning, A very nice gentlemen opened up the conference room for my family to have somewhere to eat our meal… Thought it was sweet… We will defiantly stay here again.

Stayed here this past weekend. The hotel portion itself is very nice — really roomy one bedroom apartment like accommodations. Shower area was smallish, but if you’re by yourself (I was), plenty of room for one. Has everything you need — kitchenette — small living room space — king size bed (really hard matress though).
What I didn’t like was the Free Breakfast. Service was from 7:30 — 9:30 this weekend and the place was ALWAYS PACKED. No matter when you go there it was lined with wall to wall people. Really a bad experience in the layout of the space and everyone is on top of everyone trying to get to the food. It would be nice if they extended the hours, say 6−10AM and allowed an extra couple of hours to accommodate all the guests in the hotel. That is the ONLY meal they are serving and EVERYONE is there at the same time as there is such a short window to get food.
I’d think about staying here again, but likely will try some place else that isn’t such a free-​for-​all for the breakfast. If I want to pay for it myself, I will definately go to another hotel.

Very clean rooms, nice facility. Friendly staff. Great breakfast.

Pros: Great customer service, free continental breakfast, and free weeknight dinner offerings. Close to highway, restaurants, and mall.
Cons: Lots of noise. Walls and ceilings are thin. The people above me wouldn’t stop running around. I could hear the water running through the walls.
I would recommend this place if you don’t mind a little noise.

My mom and I tried to stay here for one night. When we attempted to check-​in the two people behind the counter looked at each other and said that their hotel was only for extended stays and they recommended we go somewhere else and said if we really wanted to stay there we could. I felt like they thought they were doing us a favor.
I guess if you want to go there for a week this would be a good place. It seems they frown upon staying one night though.

Two couples shared a 2-​bedroom unit and it was perfect. The breakfast was among the best for a free motel breakfast. If we’d wanted we could have cooked a dinner in the room’s kitchen, but we just had snacks, beer and wine for the evening.

Probably the most practical hotel you could ever stay at if your traveling in groups for an extended amount of team. I don’t feel like I’m at a hotel, but at home. And when you travel like we do, that makes the whole stay awesome.

Stayed here for one night. This hotel is on-​par for a Residence Inn. Full kitchen, lovely breakfast and very friendly hotel staff. Their hotel airport shuttle even drove me downtown for free. They have a small tennis court and free rackets and balls to use which was nice. Another guest had a cat with them that at one point followed me back to my room and ran inside when I opened the door. Being a cat person I thought this was hysterical and spent a few minutes petting the cat before putting him back outside. Only thing this hotel needs to improve on is the hot water– ran out while i was showering. Other then that a very pleasant stay.

Stayed here for one Thursday night with my mom while waiting for the rest of my family to arrive for a wedding. Check in was easy, the room was big, and the breakfast was amazing (as continental hotel breakfasts go). The hotel set up is really interesting, as it looks like it was originally intended to be a condo — there are also kitchens in almost every room. It makes it kind of a refreshing place to stay. I love that they have a BBQ area and a sport court. The one drawback to this is that we were on the ground floor, away from the parking lot and it was really dark in the room.
I’m only giving it a three because the room smelled funny and the room that I stayed in the next two nights was the same size, without the smell, and $ 50 cheaper.

Really respectable decent good value place to stay. Clean. Convenient, easy parking, with breakfast and some dinners included. I would stay here again. Free wifi in the rooms, coffee machine, kitchen, living room. Good shower pressure. Nice!
