Residence Inn by Marriott Appleton

Bathrooms, carpeting worn needing updating.

It is a really good location and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful.

My room ( 101, a studio king bed/sofa couch ) was very disappointing honestly. Before I begin, I'll let you know that I booked my room in advance, and ended up with the worst room, on a corner eye level with the parking lot, with tons of foot traffic, and a door that seemed to have a malfunctioning card reader because it had a habit of rejecting my room key. Furnishings were wonderful, but the noise level and loudness from the hallway/the stairs right next to the room/the cars outside/thumps from the people upstairs was absurd. In the early am there were doors slamming and people going down the stairs several times every five minutes without exaggeration. I was awake at 5am and could not continue sleeping. On top of that, the curtains were translucent and the bed was placed against a large window. The light coming in was enough to keep me awake besides the noise. I could see everything outside in the parking lot and, I'm sure, if you looked in you could probably see me sleeping/moving around, etc behind the thin veil of the curtain. At around 9-9:30 I was so unhappy, annoyed, and unable to sleep that I got up and checked out early so I could drive home and sleep in peace. For the record, I wasn't a jerk to the desk attendant because I don't believe acting out like a child is the best way to handle situations, but I did mention that I had issues with my room. Whether they do anything with that is up to them. I picked this hotel because I had a really, really pleasant experience back in October. I was in the middle of the second floor, in a non-studio room, and there was absolutely zero noise/window issues. It was actually really awesome. At that time the only annoyance was that their Wi-Fi was out and, because I was doing work online, it would have been nice to have known that they would be doing maintenance the one day I was there. Those things may be sudden so I decided not to hold it against them.
