Residence Inn Southington

About The Hotel

This 4-star Marriott Residence Inn sits on West Street in Southington, offering 343 lifetime reviews with a 4.4 rating. The property features all-suite accommodations with full kitchens, a pool, free breakfast, and a fitness center. Service scores highest at 4.6, while sleep quality rates lowest at 3.9. However, recent 2025–2026 reviews are overwhelmingly negative, reporting run-down conditions, stained linens, damp rooms, and smoke seeping between units. Highway noise from adjacent I-84 and poor soundproofing compound guest dissatisfaction. The property remains convenient for families needing kitchens and Lake Compounce access but requires careful review of current conditions before booking.

What Guests Are Saying

“Sam at the front desk was great! All good, including breakfast. The downstairs lounge never felt crowded, even when busy. All good with free bottled water. Rooms were very clean. Checkin-checkout were smooth, no issues. Plenty of parking.” — John, 5 stars

“Sofa tears, tables with worn through veneer…. Pets barking at all hours. Suspect in some capacity subsidized housing for migrants based on foul cooking odors and or chemical processing that tripped off fire alarms and required late night evacuation of the property. Rude management inattentive to fundamental supervision of their hallways. DO NOT STOP… just keep driving. We stay often in the area and the options north of I-84 are: newer, cleaner and 5-10db levels quieter. Traumatic experience, I would not stay here again if it was free.” — joez06, 1 star

“Stayed four nights in mid-January and was disappointed. Two nights were affected by marijuana/cigarette smoke coming through the bathroom vent. It was strong enough that I had to sleep with the window open in ~10°F weather. The issue was reported but not resolved. Housekeeping was never provided despite multiple requests. I was later told I had declined service, which is not accurate. Breakfast ran out early on two mornings and was not replenished. The property also advertised an evening social hour, but I was told it is no longer offered. The hotel feels dated and below typical Marriott standards. Costco did provide a partial refund, which I appreciated. I would not stay here again. The property feels dated and below typical Marriott standards. To Costco’s credit, they reviewed my complaint and provided a partial refund. Based on my experience, this was one of the poorer hotel stays I have had, and I would not return.” — Darcy S., 1 star
