Residence Inn Melbourne

We’ve stayed here each of the last three years. The staff has always been friendly and welcoming, and the rooms are quite modern — nice lighting, granite counters, colored accent walls, and other nice touches that make it feel more like a home. The pool area and gym are also nicely maintained. I would have given it 4 stars previously, but now with a new, very nicely remodeled lobby and breakfast area, it deserves a full 5 stars.

Slightly pricey. Rooms nicely appointed. Clean. TV is excellent will full remote function (rare). Love the way the TV swivels. Quiet despite significant construction.

It was a very nice hotel. Breakfast included helped with the price being so high during spring break.
We were there for a funeral so the prices were crazy high for the reason we were there.
I loved the way the room was separated and how you had a full kitchen. We usually stay at the courtyard on 192 and will stay at the residence inn from now on. The accommodations for the week were great for having family over and close to the beach.
Thanks for being a great hotel to host us during this trying time. The entire staff from the front desk to house keeping was polite and welcoming!

I have stayed here many times in the past, but am just now getting around to reviewing it.
This is a beautiful, big hotel. The lobby and the common areas are very, very nicely kept. The rooms are typical of Residence Inn. There’s a fully equipped kitchen, large living space, work desk area, little dining table, and a large bedroom area. The bathroom has the vanity outside of the tub and toilet area. The rooms are very spacious. There is a big coffee pot with all the coffee supplies you need in every room.
My room was super-​clean, spotless. The king bed was nice and firm like I like it, with fresh linens and nice pillows. The bathroom was spotless with plenty of fresh, clean towels.
On Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, they have nice «socials» from 6pm to 7:30pm where they serve little snacks, sodas, a little dessert, and beer and wine. The area is clean and very nice. This is a nice perk of this hotel. There is also a wonderful full breakfast buffet every morning.
The staff here is wonderful. The young ladies at the front desk are very friendly, as is the young man in the breakfast room — and all are so efficient. The housekeeping staff for the 5^th floor is also exceptional; my suite was very clean, and all the common areas were kept spotless.
This hotel has a pool, a tennis court, a coin laundry room, a gym (none of which I used), and nice business center; they also have free (GOOD!) wifi throughout the hotel.
LOCATION: This is a good location; it’s a few miles east of I-​95, and it is not in downtown Melbourne (that’s a quick drive — but not walking distance). It’s on a main road through Melbourne, by the airport (it sits way back off of the main street). I didn’t hear any airport noise because I don’t believe the path of the jets crosses the hotel. If you need the airport, it’s just minutes away.
There’s a big, indoor mall with all the chain stores (Macys, Penneys, etc) about a mile or so away (not walking distance). Across the street is a Publix grocery store, and some little chain stores. I didn’t find a lot of good restaurants around this hotel; they were mostly fast food places.
When I come to Melbourne, this hotel is my first choice to stay at. I have also frequently stayed at the Fairfield Inn (right off of I-​95), and the Courtyard (across the street from the mall). I stay where I can get the best rate! All 3 Marriotts are very nice!
p. s. Only to people travelling with dogs. This hotel is pet friendly, and for those of us who love dogs, that’s a great thing (there is a fee for a dog). We love it that more and more hotels are welcoming our 4-​legged companions. That being said, while I was staying here, I saw a woman and a child walking their small dog through the hallway by the elevator on the beautifully tiled floors. The doggie stopped and made a mess on the floor (not his fault). This woman walked away from the mess and didn’t even bother to clean it up — she just expected someone else to clean up after her dog (bad lesson to teach your child). I find this reprehensible. I encourage all dog/​cat owners to make sure that they clean up after their animals; I would hate to see hotels starting to ban dogs again because of a few slobs.

Nice and clean rooms. Breakfast was great. Only wished it had a hot tub. Thought all places in Florida had a hot tub.

Great service. Great food. Great room and great everything. Although it was weird that it was like in between office buildings

Place is the best in Melbourne thus far. Plus it’s less than a holiday inn. The only issue I’ve had is some kids playing basketball on the hotels basketball court (yup, it has one) playing in the parking lot by the cars. But the hotel staff made them go in/​home/​wherever! But other than that this is great, pillows are soft bed is comfortable. This, ladies and gentlemen, is how babies are made!

An amazingly nice place. Beautiful room ate a great rate. Great help from Susan at front desk.

My buddy and I stayed for one night as we had business in Indialantic to conduct. We were greeted by Melanie. She got us checked in, smiled a lot and honestly looked like she enjoyed her job. After getting checked in we asked for tips on how to get to the beach, Melanie while she was at the front desk was with another customer so her co-​worker (her name was maybe Ina) helped us out. Got us pointed in the right direction.
The fitness center while small was big enough for me as I was the only person using the treadmill the following morning. While my buddy and I were eating the hot breakfast, Melanie just happened to walk by and asked us how our stay at the beach was. The rooms were clean, modern and everything was in working order but the customer service at this hotel was excellent.
If I’m in the area again I will strongly consider staying here.

Clean, friendly staff, good area. Hot continental breakfast is great, and sometimes they have food in the evenings. One major downside: the way the hotel and pool are positioned, if you want any sun, you have to be out there before 3 pm.

Would definitely stay here again. Used rewards points for the entire stay and glad we chose here. Clean hotel. Very nice rooms. Hot breakfast included. Pictures are very accurate. Staff is super friendly. Needed extra towels twice, got them in minutes. Conveniently located on Babcock, just blocks off 192 and just minutes to the beach.
Only pet peeve, which knocked them down to 4 stars… Why put HD flat panel TVs in all the rooms but NOT supply HD programming via cable? HD TVs suck at displaying analog signals. Just leve the old CRT TVs in the rooms until HD signal is supplied. Hopefully they will upgrade this in the future.

This place is 5 years young and as cozy as you can get from a hotel.
The outside really hides the quality of the place, but it’s pretty evident when you check in. They have a den area, fireplace, breakfast area, social nights (with a complimentary alcoholic beverage), laundry room, exercise room, and a pool. I scouted the place and I was quite impressed. The rooms are very homey, with kitchenettes, refrigerators, pull out sofa beds, and just about everything you could want from home, only in a hotel. Top notch place. I am definitely coming back. Oh and thank you Julie for the awesome service! :)

Nice large rooms, with small kitchen and work desk area.
