The residence inn staff was very friendly and helpful. I think they did everything they could to fix the issue. The booking.com service person was pleasant and helpful

When I arrived, residence inn could not find my reservation. The staff searched using the confirmation number and my name and did not find it. I called booking.com for help. After waiting on hold for 40 minutes, the customer service person was able to call the residence inn staff and find the reservation.
