Axel's take: 7.6/10
Useful kitchens and friendly staff, but aging rooms make this a practical rather than polished pick. a 3-star, apartment-style extended-stay hotel in Campbell, scored for what it is.
This 3-star, apartment-style Residence Inn makes sense for longer Campbell stays when space and a proper kitchen matter more than fresh decor. We'd consider it for families and work trips: Booking.com and Expedia guests repeatedly praise comfortable rooms, helpful staff and the included hot breakfast. Recent Expedia feedback remains largely positive about cleanliness and quiet, so the older buildings aren't the whole story.
The catch is uneven upkeep. Tripadvisor and Google reviews describe worn furniture and aging fixtures, and management has acknowledged room-condition complaints. Cleanliness earns strong overall marks but isn't consistent in every account. Parking costs extra and spaces can be tight; upstairs units mean carrying luggage up stairs. We'd skip it for a polished getaway, and request a ground-floor suite if stairs are a concern.
