Pros:

Staff was nice and accommodating, beds were comfortable, location was very good

Cons:

There was no complimentary water in the room as there usually is (we have stayed there often in the past). When I asked the staff they said it had not come in yet. The bathroom had a urine smell and the whole room had a musty/humid smell as soon as we entered. Also, because there are top windows that open and they are not well sealed, there is a lot of noise from the street at night.

Viaje de Trabajo Residence Inn
Pros:

El personal del hotel fue aboslutamente maravilloso. Muy muy amable, muy atentos y me solucionaron todos los inconvenientes. Se acuerdan de los huespedes y te saludan con nombre. Se fueron más allá del deber para ayudar y hacer agradable la estadía.

Cons:

La plancha en mi cuarto fue dañada. No habia secador de pelo. El recipiente del acondicionador en el baño estuvo completamente vacio. El microondas y las gavetas de la cocina fueron sucios y no habian los elementos de limpieza.
No me pareció espectacular el desayno como leí en los reviews. Era lo mismo todos los días. Me pareció basico y con opciones para vegetarianos y cero opciones para veganos. No es posible nadar en la piscina, es solamente para mojar a los pies. Esperaba algo mucho mejor con base en los reviews anteriores.

Great spot for a short visit
Pros:

Our room on the sixth floor was large, clean, and comfortable. It's obviously designed for longer stays. There was a full-size refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, and mini stove top, along with utensils, etc. Even though there were 2 of us in the room, there was just one bottle of water, one of each tea, one robe, and one pair of slippers. I liked that there was a door btw the sink and the toilet. I liked the soaps, especially since they provided a bar soap by the sink. Gilchrist and Solmes is the brand of shampoo, conditioner, soaps, and moisturizer provided. There was also a safe in the room. Buffet breakfast included omelets to order and a variety of hot and cold items, including green juice and ripe plantains. The pool and small gym looked nice, but we didn't use them. I didn't find out until too late that there were 2 tours that depart from this hotel in the afternoon and included dinner. The avenue it's on is an outdoor mall - safe and clean with quite a few restaurants, including Capitol Grill. The street ends by a small park where you can walk your dog or go birdwatching. The hotel is only about a 15-minute drive to the US embassy. It's attached to the AC Hotel, another Marriott property. They had a nice rooftop Bar (2nd flr) where you can glimpse the sunset. The prices for food and beverages in these 2 hotels and the nearby restaurants and bars were similar to those in NYC.
Minor negatives: the steady hum of the refrigerator, dusty baseboard in bathroom, limited English TV.
Note: you won't need to speak Spanish, but it would help.
This area seems to appeal to business travelers and locals.
