When we first pulled up to the hotel, I was hesitant. It's located in a very busy area (attached to a mall in New Rochelle) and it didn't give a restful vibe. Then we went inside, and the people at the front desk were really nice. They explained the garage parking ($10/night) which I thought was reasonable.
We stayed in wheelchair accessible suite (I use a wheelchair and can't walk) with a roll in shower, #809. The first room you go into has a kitchenette and pull out couch, the next room is the bedroom with a king bed and a roll in shower in the bathroom. It is a corner room with views to the east and north giving nice light. They had curtains which block out the light at night.
We had to request a bench to sit on in the shower; I found it a bit annoying it wasn't just there in the roll in shower, but they did deliver it quickly.
There is only one bedside table and it's on the side of the bed by the window. I couldn't get my wheelchair through that space (narrower than 2 feet) so I had to get in bed on the other side and scooch over to the other side to plug in my phone.
We slept well on a relatively firm mattress.
There was only decaf coffee in our room which was also a bit annoying.
Breakfast on the 10th floor is included with many many choices: eggs, cereal, breads, tea, coffee, juice, etc.
When I went in the morning to return our card keys, no one was at the front desk. That was annoying.
Overall, this experience was so superior to a horrific experience we had at the Radisson in New Rochelle (due to the fact I use a wheelchair), we will certainly stay at the Residence Inn again when we're in the area.
