This lovely little place is a bit of a hidden gem. Having stayed for 3 nights downtown and leaving due to a fear for my safety I arrived at The Residence Inn having only made a reservation the night before and a little desperate. I was greeted warmly by Megan, who offered me a delicious Arnold Palmers drink while she completed the very quick and smooth check-in process. The reception area is lovely - a beautiful fire is situated on the lobby and I half wish I had visited in colder weather to experience this! I was allocated a suite on the 4th floor, took the quick elevator up to check it out and was immediately relieved. The corridors were fresh and clean, as was was the elevator. My suite was clean and fully equipped for me 2 week stay. The kitchen was very well stocked with a full size fridge, half freezer, stove top, and every utensil and item you may need to cook and meal from there. There was a small dining table, a large comfortable “L” shape sofa with coffee table as well as a large television that can be turned to watch from the sofa or from the large comfortable bed! There was a vanity area, a simple shower and tub and plenty of towels. The large wardrobe and plenty storage meant I could unpack with ample leftover room. The air con is good and kept my room lovely in cool in temperatures over 110 degrees some days!! The breakfast in the week is the job of Richard - what a lovely man. He greeted me warmly every morning, he worked tirelessly to ensure the breakfast items were clean, tidy and well stocked. The breakfasts are simple but tasty. The scrambled eggs and omelettes are good but my favourite was the spinach and Swiss cheese crust less quiches - delicious!! The coffee is plentiful however it wasn’t to my liking mainly because I’m a Brit and find US coffee too strong! The pool area is kept really lovely, Dave works throughout the day cleaning the area. The hot tub is lovely and warm. There are BBQs and a lovely outdoor fire that seemed popular later at night. There is also a small basketball court and a putting green - great additions and if I had been travelling my my family that would most definetly have been used! The laundry on site is fantastic - there are 4 washing machines and 4 dryers. They cost $3 each to use and work great - payment is by card/tap. The small on-site shops sells essentials and snacks and I only used it a couple of times but it had a good selection. The gym is small and clean, there is a small range of equipment and weights however I did use them and they were great. The location is quiet and peaceful, just minutes from the highways and busier areas however there is a good range of restaurants in the immediate area too. There was not a single member of staff I encountered during my time there that didn’t greet me warmly or with a smile - I didn’t catch everyone’s names but they really are all wonderful. Rebecca on reception was lovely too. To the lovely lady that works there from the Chicago area - I’m so sorry I didn’t catch your name. But you were wonderful when I had to raise an issue with you about a non-guest acting bizarrely at the pool. You and Dave stepped into action straight away. Thank you so much. Also - your recommendation for my stay in Chicago was great - I really enjoyed my day there! You will not regret choosing this lovely little safe and charming inn for your stay in Wichita. I can’t wait to return later in the year with the rest of my family!

Highly recommend this Residence Inn -- although an older facility, it is well maintained and clean. Rebecca the front desk associate is very welcoming and makes you feel appreciated for choosing this hotel. Richard - the Mahomes of the Breakfast attendants - is the best -- He does a fantastic job with the breakfast buffet - keeps it well stocked and walks around making sure that each patron has what they need. Great hotel and awesome Marriott employees!

This may not be the newest place, but it IS worth your stay!! We stayed for 2 weeks in Nov and didn't hesitate to stay again when we had to return in Dec. Friendly and attentive staff. The assistant manager, I think her name was Tish, was the very best! So friendly and helpful. Room was very clean. I was impressed with the time the staff took to clean each room along with the public restrooms and laundry. Breakfast buffet offers generous options that change daily. The man working that area is also very friendly and is so attentive to keeping things cleaned and filled. He does a great job!

Stayed for 13 days. Comfortable room. Bathroom shower head could use repair, but worked. I’m used to a firm bed, but bed was cushy. My favorite was my morning breakfast.
