| - Ah. Now that I've officially moved out of the residence inn I feel a little better writing a review about the place. Not that I have anything notably bad to say about it, to do so before just seemed in poor taste.
Now I lived in the RI for about a month and a half, compliments of a relocation package from DX's company. So while we got a weekly bill and could see what was being charged, he just ended up passing it along to HR.
What do you get in a RI suite? Queen bed, pullout sofa in the living room. Maids come each day and change the linens if you put the little card on the bed, and change the towels that you put on the floor or in the tub. They often forgot to leave me some dishwasher detergent, which maybe wouldn't have mattered for someone working most of the time and eating out but I did a lot of cooking. So if you're the jobless plus one spouse or domestic partner in one of these scenarios, prepare to make a few front desk calls about supplies.
Nice things: complimentary beer and wing, fruit and cheese and other kinds of buffets throughout the week. Breakfast every day. Um... we had TVs in the living room AND the bedroom, I guess good if a family is staying there?
Things to note: the place gets packed during weekends in the fall because it's just a hop skip and a jump away from Panthers stadium. So if you had a quiet breakfast during the week, prepare to wait in lines for your coffee to be refilled during football season. During the game they'll have a tailgating party in the lobby area for the poor schmucks that didn't get a ticket. Also quite close to the Charlotte visitor's center, the Mint museum of art, Duke Energy, Wachovia and the new Amelie's French bakery on Tryon.
