Residence Inn by Marriott Downtown

Frommer's Review

This is the best deal downtown: It's close to all the action; the accommodations are quiet, nicely appointed studios or suites; and it's incredibly inexpensive -- especially for an extended stay. The building itself was constructed in 1928 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The rooms, most of which are like small apartments, offer queen-size beds and kitchens outfitted with all the necessary equipment (the exceptions are some of the smaller studios, which have kitchenettes). High ceilings lend a feeling of spaciousness. For a nice view of downtown, ask for one of the suites on the higher floors.

In addition to a complimentary breakfast, the hotel provides a light supper Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, holds a cookout on Wednesday, and will even do your grocery shopping. And if the exercise room is too small for you, don't worry: Guests have complimentary access to the fitness center at the posh Marriott Marquis just a few blocks away. As you pass through the marble lobby, be sure to look up at the ceiling. Painted by European artists when the building was new, the decoration has been restored to its original splendor.

Facilities:
Small exercise room; 24-hr. room service; coin-op laundry; same-day dry-cleaning service; grocery-shopping service
