Residence Inn Marriott Florence

This was my first time staying at this hotel in Florence. I usually stay somewhere else with my family dog that I have been driving to and from Florida the last few years. The lady at the front desk was very nice. But the room smelled terrible. Again. I know pet friendly. But this was worse than any other dog friendly hotel I’ve stayed at. On top of it. My dog barked several times thru the night. Bc 5 doors down people were having a hotel room party till 4 am when I got up to do my second day of driving. Amazing how this was not stopped at all thru the night.

We had to book a hotel room last minute due to vehicle troubles on the interstate leading to it being towed to the next town which ended up being Florence. The room was very spacious and definitely met our needs with having 2 little kids. In the morning, they had a full breakfast which my husband said was the best he ever had at a hotel. Sharon and Cynthia were the two ladies who were overseeing the breakfast. They were such a huge blessing to us when we were full of emotions and literally stranded until we could locate and pick up a vehicle. These two ladies were so kind to our boys and were to attentive to keeping the tables clean and food up to par. It truly meant the world for their kind words and support. The little things really mattered. I would highly recommend this hotel. We would definitely stay again if we ever found our way to Florence.

I always accompany my family to the breakfast at hotels and rarely eat anything. I was amazed by the offerings at this buffet. Hands-down the best hotel breakfast ever. This Marriott Residence Inn is the nicest of the Florence selections. I didn't notice the $100 pet fee when I made my reservation. That's on me but... geez. Seems pretty stiff.
