| - This Residence Inn is a little hard to find, even though it is right off I-17 and Northern. It is on a one-way frontage road, so you have to come from the north of Northern Avenue and slide down the frontage road to get to it. It is on hotel row for this area, just a mile form the Metro Center, and a bunch other hotels on eaither side of the freeway.
It is a typical Residence Inn. It is a group of about 20 low rise 2 story buildings. Parking is adequate and nearby your door.
Inside, this member of the Marriott chain is known as an extended stay type hotel, with a 2 room suite, which includes about 600 sq ft of space. There is a full kitchen, with 4 burner stove, full fridge, microwave and dishwasher, all in new stainless steel, with marble counter tops and a wood/linoleum floor. Full dishes, glasses and utenzils are available like home.
This one is pretty new, with clean, unstained furniture in fresh condition. There are also not 1, but 2 black 42 inch LG flat screen TVs., one in the bedroom and one in the living room. The living room has a desk, 2 seat dining table, a lounge chair and a small sofa with sofa bed. There is a door between the rooms, so if you wanted to have the kids along, you can still keep your sanity in the other room.
Depending on time of year, this R.I. is a good value, costing about $100/night, which includes a free breakfast, evening hospitality hour, free Wi-FI internet, and free parking.
This little one bedroom, if it was a condo near downtown San Francisco, would be a million dollars!
If you really want to save money, you can go next door to Motel 6, and pay $40/night for a single person! Just ignore the riff raff!
