As someone who travels often for business and family, I'd like to offer my review: I intend to provide constructive feedback on my recent stay. While the property boasts spacious suites with kitchens, perfect for families, its current state falls short of expectations. The surrounding vacant lots and lack of nearby amenities are significant drawbacks. Our check-in experience was pleasant, thanks to the friendly front desk staff. However, the night staff seemed less accommodating and more focused on socializing. The hallways were clean, but the elevator required attention. Our room had several issues, including broken curtains ripped not In working order and dirty, a missing cabinet drawer, and signs of a major leak. Although the tub and toilet appeared clean and new, the room had visible dirt, dust, and grimy . The carpets were neglected, and the cleaning practices lacked attention to detail. We used Lysol wipes to disinfect the room, and the phone was not working properly. The pillows were uncomfortable lumpy and flat. To improve the overall experience, I suggest using consistent lighting throughout the units and addressing the aforementioned issues. With proper management, this property could be a good place and offer great stay!
Breakfast has great possibilities, but staff seem overwhelmed, affecting their ability to maintain cleanliness, refill items, and clean tables, ultimately leading to unfriendly, unhappy staff.

This was by far the most rundown Marriott hotel that I have stayed ever in. I have stayed in all brands from Fairfield (great value) to JW across the country. My fist clue was that the hallway to my room smelled very musty. In the room (Room 202) I could feel every spring in the mattress, although the bedding was fine. The sofa was simply to be avoided. I wouldn't take shoes off to walk on the carpet. On a positive note, the lobby staff were very nice and friendly. I give them a 10. This hotel, based on my experience at numerous Marriott brand hotels, should not bear your flag. I had two colleagues with me on the stay and their assessment would be the same. Nice people, very poor stay. I should have taken pictures, but did not.

Bottom shelf below kitchen sink was broken and unsightly. Hair from previous person was literally everywhere in the bathroom. Water in hot tub was same temp as pool, much too cold. Timer on hot tub was set to only 5 minutes so it was a constant thing to keep turning it back on.
3.0 / 10.0
Just okay. The room was small, compared to other Residence Inn hotels we've stayed in. It was also freezing cold, even though we had the thermostat turned all the way up. Spoke to someone at the front desk about it after a while. Nothing they could do, since it was evening. Thought we could get some warm blankets, but none were available. Had to sleep with a sweatshirt & a fleece jacket on. It would've been helpful to have a fireplace in our room, like other Residence Inns have! The staff person told us that this is more of a " budget " Residence Inn. Hmm.
The breakfast buffet seemed like a budget breakfast too, compared to other Residence Inns. Also, we heard a lot of noise from people walking around in the room above us, morning & night. That was unpleasant.
So, to summarize, it was okay, but I'm not sure we'll stay at this particular Residence Inn again, for these reasons.

I stay here often for business. The folks that work here are always so kind and amazing. This was the first time I had issues with the room itself. I let the front desk staff know, and have every confidence they will take care of it.

We got to the hotel 2 hours after check-in and our room was not ready. They said to give them a few minutes and it would be ready. 30 minutes later they asked us if they could put us in two separate rooms rather than the two bedroom room we had reserved and paid for. Rooms were clean but had a cracked sink, the cover that went over the furnace was off the wall, and were very noisy. The contential breakfast was subpar at best and the coffee had grounds in it.

Old and worn. Needs total updating. Worst Residence Inn I’ve stayed at. Front desk clerk initially told us he didn’t have any rooms available but after showing our confirmation blamed his manager for overbooking and mid-management.

there was no air in my room, kids were up above running half the night (both nights) a homeless man sleeping outside my window, bloodstained covers on my bed and i was charged for a 2 bedroom in which i originally reserved but called in due time to downsize to a one bedroom , was told it would be taken care of.

The GM always goes out of his way to make sure our stay is pleasurable. Unfortunately, my sister's purse was stolen during our last stay by what we suspect to be a staff member and the morning guest service representative was quite rude to my sister regarding the breakfast. Totally uncharacteristic of what we normally experience at this property, but will not stop us from coming back

A bit of a challenge to find. But, overall a pleasant experience (stayed an extra night). Nice property. Tasty breakfast with great assortment. Very helpful and friendly staff! Small but adequate exercise room.

Our main reason for staying here (5 times this year) is because there is an Electric Vehicle charging station within walking distance.

When we arrived, the room was not turned over. Beds were unmade, garbage was full, etc. We were given another room and the shampoo bottle was empty. Front desk did not refill. No towels in the pool room so we used our room towels and asked the front desk for two towels which they did not have. There were ants in the bathroom, the room was dusty, and in the morning they were out of orange juice. I will not be visiting this hotel again.

There was a dirty towel left in the shower. Jacuzzi was out of order. Television didn’t work in the room and nobody came to fix it until about midnight

Hot tub wasn’t working and there wasn’t a continental breakfast so would call before staying if those are perks you are looking for. Staff were super friendly and the room was clean though.

I liked the friendliness of the staff. It would have been nice if the fitness center had an exercise bike.

It was in a rundown area. The doors locked at 6pm with a security officer monitoring the facility. Yes I felt safe with him present but unsafe with the fact that they needed that kind of protection. Lots of long term renters. Animals and smoker. The carpet in our room was dirty and sticky. The health department closed down the hot tub and the pool was dirty.

Work trip- easy and quick check in. Mostly friendly staff at the desk- always saying hi- some did not. Which all it takes is a 10 second conversation for us people that travel for work to make our day. Food was the same daily for breakfast all week. Nice room- could have used a deeper cleaning, but, was spacious, and felt a little more “like home” .

When we checked in the room they gave us had wet carpet and almost slipped on the tiled floor part. Then they gave us another room the was being cleaned not ready. The staff was unprofessional and there was trash in the stairwell. I think I should be compensated for the first night for we missed a non refundable meeting with the room switch that caused me to be too late to attend. Thank you

We do not travel very often. So when we do, we like a nice place to stay. The Residence Inn By Marriott here in Merrillville is the best choice we have ever made when it comes to hotels. We loved our room and I loved the outdoor patio that was close so I could sit outside. Every staff member was amazing…knowledgeable, friendly and easy to talk to. The breakfast was just what is should be, many choices and very tasty. I know I won’t remember everybody’s name. We were there M,T, and W Sept 18th, 19, and 20th. I believe Antwone check us in, very nice. Both of the cooks were very friendly. And so was Reggie! Oh yes, the carpet cleaning company team was also very sweet. The 2nd floor(?)smelled awesome when they were done. All and all I give our stay with you a10 plus!!!!

Stay was fine. Hotel was pretty clean. Andrew at the front desk was very attentive to our requests. Guests were nice; we couldn't hear them in our room. A few things I'd like to see improved:
* AC was loud in the bedroom and at least 2 nights (of our 4 night stay) I had to turn it off in order to sleep
* You can't control the AC/ Heat in the gym and it was fairly warm upon entry - which made for a really heated work out
