Marriott has a couple of lower priced lines like this one, and I'm never disappointed. I'm guaranteed a nice, clean hotel although I must travel on a budget. The pool was nice, although there is no changing area so you must walk back to your room in a dripping suit. Everything was very comfortable and satisfactory, except the staff. They were unavailable for the most part -- either outside smoking or too busy flirting with the construction crew staying at the hotel. I couldn't reach them on the lobby phone and couldn't get what I needed in the dining room. This hotel would be a 5, except they need a more professional staff.

The hotel is clean, updated, everything works well, the bed was comfy and I heard no noise at night. The cleaning staff did a nice job each day, too. My only complaint would be that the staff seemed to be missing most of the time, outside smoking or hanging out with the long-term guests, and no one ever answered my calls to the front desk. All in all, this is a great, clean place to stay and feel at ease and comfortable. I was very happy with the room, and the pool was great too.

he Suites offer nightly (Mon-Thurs) a wonderful evening meal in their dining area. Unfortunately for me, there were many big hungry men (from local construction crews) that were part of the socialization, and the main meal was wiped out 1/2 hour earlier than posted. I was a bit under the weather, and I became very (embarrassingly) overwhelmed and emotional as I referenced my disappointment with the staff. Being ill, I did not have the energy or resilience to go out for dinner or prepare it. The manager, Pam, actually went out and bought me dinner and delivered it to my room a brief moment later. This was not expected at all, and I was so touched. She provided me the full warm meal with a warm hug, and stated ""I understand, honey. You need to feel better."" Just when you think all is gone in the ugly traveling corporate world, these folks at Towneplace suites have re-written the rules and book. You sincerely won't find a more caring and awesome folks.

We had a great stay, made even better by our success on the robotic field. The students and adults had a good time at your motel and we will certainly stay there again the next time we compete at Purdue. Thanks again for the early breakfast!
