Residence Inn Minneapolis Maple Grove/Arbor Lakes

Seems like the Residence Inn brand is going down hill everywhere. However, this one is probably the worst I have been in yet. I travel ALOT for work and stay in extended stay hotels across several brands more than 300 days a year. This location has been horrible. The breakfast offerings are on the level of continental breakfast status. The brand used to offer full breakfast options. Not so much anymore. Everything comes from individually wrapped options that can be seen in a vending machine. This location does not even have a waffle maker. The eggs never seem to be fresh, even if they are powdered. The towel quality at this location is motel status as well as the cleaning. I had to clean the rust stains and floor of the shower before I was able to take a shower. Let's get into the staff. 1st issue - I called the front desk to request weekly cleaning. It was in the evening and the young lady said I will put you down for the future date I requested. The day the cleaning was supposed to happen, the room is not cleaned. Remember, I am here working so I am gone during business hours. So, I contact the front desk, they have no record of me requesting weekly cleaning. Fine can I get on the schedule? And can you bring a set of sheets and towels, and I will do it myself for this week? Sure. I proceed to remove the sheets thinking I would be getting a replacement set. 2 hours later still nothing. I finally go down to the front desk, of course it is not the person I made the request to 2 hours before, so this person has no idea I made the request. They go and get my replacement sheets and towels and the night proceeds. 2nd issue - The dishwasher had a minor overflow in the kitchenette, I cleaned it up and requested maintenance to repair the issue. They came when I was not in the room and did something. I use the dishwasher again and there is water in the bottom of the dishwasher, I request maintenance again and remained in the room while waiting for the repair. Two gentlemen arrive and put a bottle of something and start the dishwasher. They request I throw the bottle away after the cycle completes. One of the men tell me to consider washing the dishes by hand. I asked him why that would be necessary since there is a whole dishwasher in the room that should be repaired. He chuckled and left. Before the cycle can complete, water is pouring out everywhere onto the floor. I call down to the front desk to let them know that there is water everywhere and the lady that answered proceeded to question if I was requesting a repair. I explained that I did not know what needed to be done for the machine, however there is water everywhere. She put me on hold, when she came back, she said she would note the file for a repair. I proceeded downstairs to get more towels to clean up the water. I not so calmly explain to the front desk that water was everywhere. Since you are not going to send anyone up to correct this issue, plea

The first room we received didn’t appear clean and the sheets where dirty. When pulling the sheets off there was a huge pee stain. Second room we received the shower was dirty and there was more pee stains. Stay at the courtyard in maple grove instead.
