Just came back from a week stay at the Residence Inn/Courtyard downtown.

I will NEVER stay there again. I stayed on the Residence Inn side and my friends were on the Courtyard side. Staff was very nice at both. Pool and exercise room were nice for a non full service. Residence Inn had ok breakfast and different hot food in the evening with free beer and wine on half the days there.

Bad parts: Part of town. The block of the hotel was covered with homeless people and beggers. First night there, drunk homeless guy throws up in front of the entrance to the Residence Inn and 2nd guy proceeds to wash his hands in it. Homeless were constantly digging through the trash and the butt can out front. One guy was stalking out front for anyone to throw away a cig butt so he could have it.

My room had a TV that looked like it belonged in the TV show "That '70's Show" and the picture quality was about the same.

All parking is valet for both and is at the Courtyard.

If you do stay at the Residence Inn and valet, you do not have to go around to get to your hotel. All floors above 2 connect.

Clean up the area and update the rooms and I will think about going back.
