Back in the region for a visit. Great location. Very hospitable staff, clean and comfortable room. Maybe a little pricey to others in the area but I really wanted a place that is updated and not be like a quick road stay hotel. Residence Inn was the right choice.

This place is excellent.Renovated setup.I was impressed with cleanliness of the room I stayed.This is what you want when you are away from home for work . Only thing which is stopping me from rating this place perfect 5 is bed. They need to put some money on beds also.

I was travelling for business to Merrillville Indiana last week and i chose to stay at the Residence Inn. It was a nice hotel with friendly staff. The hotel was nice and clean. The hotel is pet friendly and there seemed to be several families with pets in the hotel. The walls are fairly thick and do not easily let... More

Thank you for your kind comments about my hotel. While we did receive a $2.2 million renovation last year that really transformed the hotel, we unfortunately did not replace all of the beds. However, for 2012 we were ranked 91st out of all 621 Residence Inns worldwide for the category of Comfortable Bed by our guests. And for a while... More

I booked this hotel based on the fact that it was number one on trip advisor and the Residence Inn Merrillville did not disappoint. First impression driving up to the hotel is that it does look a little aged in the appearance outside but once you walk inside the new renovations are well done. Upon check-in I was greeted by...

Fantastic place for an extended stay even under difficult circumstances. Our suite felt like our own little apartment and we were very comfortable. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The management, front desk, kitchen, maintenance and cleaning personal were all top rate. The location is very quiet and easy to find and I would definitely recommend this Residence... More

This is a great hotel for an extended stay. The accommodations were comfortable and clean. The breakfast was very good especially compared to others I've experienced and Monday through Wednesday they served a nice light dinner meal. Most of all, I must commend the management and staff for their courtesy, helpfulness and kindness. They were outstanding!
