Residence Inn Visalia

Service is alright. Reception did the necessary work but no additional service offered. Breakfast is good among same tier hotels. Parking is easy and convenient, and the location is also not far from major roads. I understand US hotels no longer offer disposable amenities but it does make walking in the room awkward without a pair of slippers.

I checked into the hotel on May 28th, 2025 and as of current (June 16th, 2025) I am still here for work. I will be here until Mid to late July. I am also the highest rewards member status (Ambassador Elite) possible as I live out of hotels. Marriott Bonvoy has overall been about average honestly, but I am writing this review to specifically mention one issue I have had here at the Visalia location. If your cell phone provider is AT&T, you absolutely have to request a top floor room or you will not have the ability to send texts, make phone calls or connect to the internet. I thought there was a problem with my phone and one of the managers just happened to mention the issue offhand. I then moved all my belongings to a top floor room where the issue is now completely fixed on my phone. The WIFI is unbearably slow and i had to purchase an ethernet cable just to get normal speeds. When the internet inevitably shuts off randomly (twice now in 19 days) I have to reconnect using my hotspot on my personal phone. As I am doing as I right this review. This is especially frustrating as I had called in advance and specifically asked if the internet was decent enough and was reassured there was no issues. Since I work out of state, internet is vital to staying in touch with friends and family as well as managing my second online hobby/job. The staff here are very nice and always check in to make sure everything is going well. They greet me as I enter and leave the building and at the end of the day it is not their fault the internet in Visalia seems to struggle so much. I will have to be very direct next time I call a front desk asking whether the internet is good or not. Its a decent hotel if you don't have a heavy dependance on internet.

Easy parking

We loved the room! Had everything and much more than what we expected! Staff was great and greeted us with a huge smile, made us feel like home away from home!
