Residence Inn Bryan College Station

My spouse and I are frequent Titanium Elite (75+ day) travellers. This Residence Inn is an aging property. The room was nice and clean. The televisions are older with only 1 HDMI connection so you must disconnect to stream from a mobile device. Breakfast was quite disappointing, foam plates, plastic utensils, a hot server where the lid does not close, slow replenishment of items, low quality margarine spread. Use real butter, plates & utensils like other Residence Inns. If you serve biscuits, make sure you don't run out with only 6 people and tell others that it will be 15 minutes for more.

I stopped into this place by accident, only looking for some zzz's and to be on my way in the morning. I have used this community before, and the college all but guarantees a decent quality room at an affordable rate. I had not used this property before, but my first impressions of the place were how clean and maintained the place was. The desk agent who checked us in, I believe was mark, was most professional and courteous in the process. When we got our keys and got to our room it was in equally clean, and well maintained order. The only things I found that did not work were the work light over the kitchenette, and the dishwasher door apparently locked, as nothing was going to release it, and it didn't have a slider on the front to open it. I couldn't use the percolator assuming that the urn was in there, and I couldn't get it open. It was an overnight stay, and I had no intention of cooking anything beyond warming up a cup of coffee in the microwave. When it was time for breakfast they had a pretty standard fare of scrambled eggs, meat, toast, oatmeal, waffles, yogurt, fruit, and cereals. All of it was well prepared with an inviting service area and very clean tables and dining room. I've one suggestion that would make the property more appealing than it is today. The HVAC unit evaporator motor literally roared, loud enough it interfered with hearing the TV. Additionally, while in the breakfast area there was another blower vibrating so loudly it was vibrating parts of the building, and again creating excessive amounts of noise. This is Texas, and these units run year-around, and I'm sure the motors in there, while turning, are very aged. I left the next morning by 10 with a good feeling about the place, and I'd not hesitated to use them again, or recommend them. The rate was good, the property exemplary, and the stay a positive experience. And, there's lots of collateral businesses in the area close by for any kind of shopping desire a guest may have. And, the college is not more than ¼ mile away to the West.

Stayed at the Residence Inn Bryan College Station with my family of four while I attended a conference nearby. Our suite had a separate bedroom with a Queen bed and a large sofa bed in the living area, which gave us lots of room to stretch out. The kids also enjoyed having their own tv (and the seemingly endless episodes of Bluey - a small reminder of home). The rooms were clean and comfortable, though the bathroom was starting to look a little tired (we also prefer having a walk-in shower instead of a shower over tub). The hotel had great facilities. The kids made good use of the large indoor pool and the small outdoor basketball court (balls available from Reception). I found the coin-operated guest laundry really handy for managing the mountain of laundry generated when road-tripping with kids. The reception staff were also able to change quarters for me. The complimentary breakfast provided was okay - it consisted of the usual American breakfast spread (waffles, scrambled eggs, sausages or bacon, cereal, yoghurt). There were also plenty of other breakfast options nearby if looking for something different. It was convenient having several dining options within walking distance, and many more a short drive away. Housekeeping staff were awesome - we had an issue with a blocked toilet, which was quickly resolved. Reception staff were friendly and efficient. And we really liked the choc chip cookies provided at Reception. We had a great stay at the Residence Inn Bryan College Station, and highly recommend it for those looking for a family-friendly hotel in College Station.
