Elite Marriott member who spends 100+ nights a year as a business and leisure traveler. The property and staff were all top notch. 5/5 recommend. The staff and service really sets this property apart! I want to specifically mention and thank Hezyl and general manager Gilbert Capate. They were both exceptionally accommodating and responsive in assisting with a pre arrival request. The 2 bedroom suite was fantastic. Thank you! We visited over an September weekend. Checkin was a breeze, and staff happily brought us extra towels, etc. Clean, spacious 2 bedroom suite with 2 baths was lovely for us . Excellent location in close proximity to food and drink. The free breakfast was excellent. A much bigger area than most residence breakfast nooks. Definitely a step above! We will see you again!

We stayed 6/28/23 to 7/3/23 in a 2 bedroom unit with two baths and kitchenette. We chose Chester as it was a great landing spot to visit Richmond, Williamsburg, Yorktown, Jamestown, though we did have a rental car & didn't mind driving. Rooms were very clean upon arrival and smelled clean. Kitchen fridge was wiped as was the kitchen area. The furniture is showing some wear as mentioned in other review, but was in very good condition, as were the beds & mattresses. One family member slept on pullout couch and said that pullout mattress was good & not worn thin. We did not have the room serviced by housekeeping during our stay. When we asked for extra towel and blanket, it was provided immediately. The rooms air conditioning unit does blow a tad bit loudly when running, but it did not affect our sleep. The breakfasts were great, we thought, considering the variety offered of hot foods - waffles, oatmeal, a breakfast meat like sausage, small cup quiches, sweet rolls, muffins, toast, fresh fruit, yogurt, milk, juice, coffee. There's an outdoor firepit area that was nice. We did not use the indoor pool or hot tub, but seems like the kids visiting this hotel enjoyed it as we saw and heard them having fun. Last, one of the perks of this hotel is its staff. Shout-out here to Phoebe, front desk clerk, you helped us each time; Lerma, the breakfast employee, refilling the food constantly; Nathan, with a wonderful smile, building maintenance/janitorial who was always working on the floors when we saw him; Jennifer, front desk clerk, who helped us with the printer; and Gilbert, the manager, who sent a personal email after we did the Marriott survey. So many hotels have been affected by our time during the pandemic, but this hotel and its staff are on par for the service you'd get pre-pandemic. If you need extra space for your family, this Residence Inn at Chester is recommended.

Stayed here for two nights. Lobby was clean, staff was friendly. Room was decent, A/C worked well. Not a bad location with plenty of locations to eat within a 5 minute walk (including a 24 hour Waffle House). Only think I questioned was the lack of scrambled eggs one morning, instead they had some weird hot sauce burrito which someone in our group couldn’t eat due to Acid Reflux. Overall, a great trip.

Dear Pathaggerty1, Thank you for your most valuable comment and I appreciate you bringing it to my attention - the burrito offering. We are planning to add another hot protein food if not replacing the burrito. Please accept my apology for not meeting your expectation.

Little touches add to the guest experience Bath mat and wash cloth folded into fan design. Thicker towels. Multiple front desk clerks checking in guests. Check in quicker than usual Furniture in room not new but I don't care Everything in room worked well and room was quiet Would definitely stay here again

We are Marriott members and had booked ahead for a Corner Room with fireplace for our 1 night stay as we headed south. We were warmly welcomed at the front desk and given a welcome bag of water and chips. The room was lovely--roomy and very clean. We were able to get a bag of ice in the lobby. We did not have a chance to use the pool-- perhaps on our trip back home when we are not is such a rush!

I called the front desk of this hotel because my sister was staying there on the day of her 50th birthday. I spoke with Cede at the front desk and asked if she knew of a way I could have a cake waiting for her when she arrived. Cede was about the most pleasant person I had ever worked with. She volunteered to go get her a cake, got it frosted and even wrote a message to my sister on it. But then she did even more!!! She went and got a card and had it all filled out and waiting for my sister on her arrival. I’m STUNNED at the high level of customer service. I have never seen such customer focus! Marriott, you have a great one in Cede. Awesome customer service - truly above and beyond. Thank you!!!

I'm from Washington state and I've stayed here for almost 4 weeks during my training. The most Friendliest and Hospitable staff I've ever encountered! Mr Gilbert which is the general manager would make sure that you have the best stay. Breakfast items options are truly amazing. Rooms and other amenities are great as well! Thank you for an amazing stay! I'll be back when i go train again in Ft. Lee VA.

We stayed at the Residence Inn Chester, VA this past weekend. Price was good. We have stayed in Residence Inns in Massachusetts and New Hampshire many times over the years. I will say that every single facility has been nothing but great! Regarding this stay, the front desk staff was welcoming and efficient. The facility was immaculate! The rooms perfect and so clean! The food in the morning was plentiful and also made to go for those who don't have time to sit and eat. One of the staff members, Gilbert (GM) was SO friendly and attentive to all of our needs during breakfast. He really made us feel at home. Extremely friendly and approachable. We were treated so well by Gilbert and other staff that we were in contact with. All of our kids commented on how nice Gilbert was. - We WILL be booking this specific Residence Inn on our next family vacation next summer!!

The check-in experience was very poor. The receptionist was rude, not helpful and wasn’t willing to be helpful. We have a family wedding this weekend, and we have many many rooms booked. We did the online check-in the day before and asked for a 12pm check-in. We arrived at 1:30pm, which was early, but she would make no effort to help us get a room earlier to unload all of our wedding stuff for our guests who would be coming in. We would not recommend this hotel. I called the manager, it went to a voicemail box that was full. That tells you something too. It might have Marriott in the name, but the brand represented was Motel 6. We hope when we get to a room it makes up for the the poor service, zero empathy or willingness to help or offer any solution.

Had a quick couples getaway. The room was very big and clean. Was more than I expected. The only downfall is when the air went off, the room got a little warm. Other than that, I was pleased with my stay.
