Residence Inn by Marriott Charleston Downtown/Riverview

Negatives: The room was dirty. I had to request housekeeping to come when I arrived - the stove was covered with cooked on food. I got some water on the floor in front of the bathroom sink, when I wiped it up, the paper towel was filthy. The hard floors obviously weren't mopped correctly before I checked in. The kitchen was poorly equipped for cooking. There was only one semi-sharp knife, the style and size of a bread knife. No smaller prep knife. There were two pots/pans, so horrible stained and burned, they were too unappetizing to use. I had a pizza to bake, but I found no baking sheet or pan. I had to go to the kitchen and fortunately they were able to give me some foil that served the purpose. There is a kitchen table and chairs that I was unable to use. The chairs have a very short back that doesn't even come up to the waist. The seats aren't high enough to comfortably reach the table to place your arms on to eat. Without a proper back to grab, the chairs are very difficult to move. You have to bend over and pick them up. I had to eat sitting on the couch using a tiny snack table.

Negatives: The shower & tub water faucet handle did not work properly. Hot water ran out too quickly for 2 people showering.

Negatives: The buffet breakfast was just not that good

Negatives: Reported small insects in room but nothing apparently was done about it. They continued throughout stay.

Negatives: The only thing that could have been better about the room is the bathroom it could really use some remodeling.

Negatives: Inadequate sound insulation

Negatives: The sofa bed in a room for two adults (I was with my mother) had only one thin blanket and a pillow. It was like sleeping with a rag. However, the bed was had a duvet and was very comfortable for my mother.

Negatives: The bathroom is old, has a broken toilet lid, has loose the support of curtain)not safe). The sink at kitchen smells really bad. The all carpet are old, grimy and smells like garbage.
