Say no to RM 1122
Pros:

Don't stay in room 1122. I can't vouch for the whole hotel, but this room was NOT it! Over $400 for one night to not have hot water, spiders, and a toilet that wouldn't flush I the lower bedroom!
While it's certainly big enough room it's not worth it. Look further!

Residence Inn at it's best!
Pros:

VERY comfy and affordable res inn option if in area. Rooms are in "different buildings" so you are outside to get to from pool/breakfast/etc. Staff was awesome and suites are excellent! Easily will stay again if in area!!

New furniture needed. Dust and ensure no insect(s) are present in the hotel rooms.
Pros:

The furniture was clean, but well worn. There was a fly in the room that kept us awake all night. I cleaned cobbwebs in the corner of the room.

Cons:

Older furniture, worn, Carpeting had an odor. Fly in room that kept us awake. We had already changed rooms once related to a malodorous carpet, so endured the fly. We wish we would have changed rooms again. Staff was wonderful, so kind and professional!

A bad experience
Pros:

Eugene Lynch is the most incompetent, rude, useless,manger that ignores customers and resolves no issues. Unfortunately I had the misfortune to stay at Residence Inn, Shelton CT. This business is closing down September of 2025, and I was never notified of this fact beforehand.
The room had a terrible odor, broken dishwasher, frayed carpets, light fixture over dining table falling down from ceiling, worn out finish on the bathtub with black mold around edges, broken tv remote, handle broke off french doors and a front door handle that barely worked.
There was also a terrible bee infection. Grounds where poorly kept.
Everything was completely ignored by management.
I am positive Marrriot headquarters staff with not approve of my experience there was handled .

Marriott should be ashamed
Pros:

Before I go any further, I have to compliment all the staff I encountered. They were helpful and smiling. Coffee was hot and ready in the lobby breakfast area. That’s where the good parts end. This motel? hotel? is run down and old, and not in a cool vintage way. The first room i was given was missing the dead bolt, on the ground floor. No thank you. Changed to another room. Generally just poorly maintained, carpet tears, stained towels and washcloths, etc. Ceiling in the shower was visibly leaking.

It's More than a Job
Pros:

I like everything about the Shelton Marriott Residence inn as far as the facility is concerned. The home away from home style is perfect for my family when we visit our relatives in Connecticut The price for the suite was well worth it.

Cons:

The housekeeping staff was rude! The maintenance staff was chatty but not in a good way. The front desk staff did their job but nothing more. I could have enjoyed my stay a lot more had I felt welcomed. Also, the people who actually live there seem to think they own the place! Long story short great facility! Poor faculty.

Theres better hotels in Shelton
Pros:

First room i got had black mold in the bathroom. Desk changed me out for a new room. Rooms looked old and outdated. TVs werent bright and there was no way to get into the settings to change it. Walked around the property and there was people smoking weed at the pool. I definitely wouldnt stay here again ever.

Pros:

The hotel was quiet and the day amd especially Andrea on the night staff were very helpful and accommodating.
Property could have been more generous with bath towels for a 2 night stay. For breakfast there could have been more attention to when food and coffee was running out. Not bad for a business stay.

Absolutely horrible
Pros:

Marriott should be embarrassed that their name is on this place. Completely run down. Should bulldoze it and start from scratch.

The door to our room barely closed. Someone had stolen the toilet paper holder. The exterior was rotted wood with peeling paint.
