Residence Inn by Marriott Bath Brunswick Area

The cleanliness and the pool

We felt very well cared for by staff

Marriott has always been my first choice for a hotel brand during previous business travels and personal vacations, but this recent stay has changed my mind about the direction they are going in with their newer hotels. Recently stayed at the Residence Inn in Bath, ME and it was not a pleasant experience. Not the fault of the employees, but poor construction. PROS: Convenient location Friendly staff Okay sized room that still has a good kitchen Great shower CONS: Noise. This is what ruined the entire trip. You go to a hotel for one reason - to get a good night of sleep. This one failed at its core reason for being. All evening and multiple times in the early mornings all I could hear was loud thump thump thump from the guest staying above me. Even using the earplugs and noise canceling earbuds I had brought with me did not help. And you can no longer run the fan on the HVAC continuously like in years' past. If I was able to get even 2 hours of decent sleep I was lucky. Add to it the banging from the exit door that was near the room that guests used to enter late at night and it was one of the worst hotel stays in quite some time. Returned home exhausted. I think its time to look at another brand for future stays.

The staff was amazingly friendly at all hours that we passed, and as free breakfasts at hotels go, it was among the very best (real scrambled eggs, not powdered, different sausage options each day (this morning it was andouille and maple breakfast links), about 18 different mix ins for the oatmeal. A pitcher of honest to goodness cold brew, packets of guacamole if guacamole want them with the eggs, just all the little touches!

Spacious...... comfortable furnishings..... inviting

I liked everything
