SpringHill Suites Boca Raton

Travelling through life should be an adventure but when night time falls and you are in a strange city there is nothing more comforting that the beckoning light of a familiar hotel chain that is known to maintain high standards for a reasonable price.
The SpringHill Suites brand by Marriott is just such a chain. Consistently high standards of comfort, cleanliness and convenience at a fair price are the hallmarks of this brand and it was a delight to find that the SpringHill Suites in Boca Raton, FL measured up to the hype.
As usual we checked in on line using the Marriott App on our smart phone, so all we had to do on arriving at the hotel was show identification and allow them to swipe our Marriott credit card and they handed us the key to our room. Easy and very painless with the professional and friendly staff at the reception desk. In less than five minutes we were unpacking our suitcase in our studio suite.
We were four family members staying together, so we booked a studio with two double beds. The suite also contained a small kitchen, a sitting room and a well-​equipped bathroom, all perfectly adequate for our one-​night stay. We could see the freeway from our room, but the soundproofing in the room was superb. No sound at all filtered in from the freeway or the parking lot or any of the adjacent rooms.
Breakfast in the morning was plentiful, hot and filling. Scrambled eggs and bacon were available as well as all the usual breads, muffins and bagels, hot oatmeal and a waffle maker, coffee and hot tea and a selection of fruit juices, yogurt and milk. Something for everyone.
Refreshed after a good nights sleep and well fed from a buffet breakfast, we continued our journey home in excellent spirits.

Upon arrival the first thing I was told was that my room was unavailable due to bad weather up north. The suite configuration was a bit odd with the closet cramped all the way by the second dead near the window and almost inaccessible. The room was quiet and it was easy to get a good night’s sleep. My biggest issue came upon checkout because my car which was parked in the hotel parking lot was covered with unsightly splotches from the sprinklers. I drove directly to a car wash where I was told hand wash would be necessary and then they would see if the spots came off. Well they didn’t so wax was added at a reasonable price, but in the end I spend about sixty five extra dollars. When I called the hotel they told me they were not responsible. I called Boca Raton water and they told me the management company for the parking lot was responsible. I let it go, but it left a bad taste in my mouth. I will not return.

This is my fifth time staying at the spring hill inn and suites and I have stayed at several hotels in this area in the last ten years for business. The location is convenient to 95 and there are restaurants nearby that are quick and easy. The area seems safe although there isn’t much nearby in the way of entertainment. The hotel itself is clean friendly. Rooms are comfortable but the air conditioning never seems to cool off to the level set at no matter what floor or room you occupy. The shower head is low (for tall people like myself) but the bathroom is otherwise acceptable. The room size is good and it has a fridge and microwave. The breakfast is just ok at best. Athletes will struggle here as they have limited protein options. The breakfast is filled with simple sugar options and not a lot of fruits and healthy options. Overall a decent place with adequate amenities and a safe environment.

There are 2 Marriott hotels right next to each other; this one, and a TownePlace Suites. I have stayed at both, and my review is similar — either is a good choice — I have no preference (pick the one that gives you the best rate!).
I called ahead because I was using points and was going to be a very late check-​in. The man answering the phone was very helpful and accommodating; I appreciate that.
The room was clean and had a frig and microwave. The bed was very comfortable. It had everything you could possibly need.
This hotel has a big free breakfast (the TownePlace next door just has some small breakfast items). Wi-​fi is free, as is parking.
This hotel is right off I-​95 at the Yamato exit. The Tri-​Rail train system, that will take you all the way to Ft. Lauderdale and Miami, is very close — right across the street. So, if you are looking for good public transportation to the Miami/​Ft. Laud. area, this is a good hotel for that. It’s just a quick walk to the train station. There is an Einstein Bagel place within walking distance, and a couple other little shops.

I have not yet sampled the breakfast, but the rooms are very nice, clean, and spacious. I have been living out of hotels the last few months, and this is my favorite room thus far.

ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND!
Love this place! Wish we stay here longer than one night. Adorable suites with kitchenette, tasteful art and two flat screen TVs: one is the kitchen and one in the bedroom. Everything is here for your enjoyment and people that work here make sure it stays this way.
The pool area is adorable with a water fall and even a lift chair for people with disabilities so that they can also be in the pool! I will post photos.
Would definitely stay here again!

Right next to the commuter rail road tracks
the train stops around 11pm and starts up around 5am
you will hear it !!!

This hotel really needs and upgrade — the beds and linen were all old and you could see the patch work in the bathroom walls.
This hotel has a refrigerator, microwave & sink next to TV & Work Space.
Being a Marriott Elite member — I was surprised they would allow such bad conditions.
The breakfast and lobby were OK

I stayed there 2 nights.
It is clean, the staff is friendly, the breakfast area pretty big…
But it starts to be old… say need to «refresh» it…
I hated the elevator, slow and too old…

Nice hotel, especially since it’s being payed for. The free breakfast is great. It has waffles, bacon, sausage, eggs, as well as other standards. The rooms are clean, service is good, and the housekeeping is respectful of the «do not disturb» sign, which is a big plus to me.

Springhill Suites is a fairly decent hotel; from my vantage point, I see a number of pros and a number of cons that sum up to create a pretty enjoyable experience.
I have to admit, when I first walked into the lobby, the first thing that struck me was not the ambiance, but the smell. And not in a good way — I don’t know what was going on when I checked in, or for the days I stayed there, but it smelled like someone took a dozen bananas, tossed them in a microwave and cooked them until they exploded.
The lobby area is pretty big, with a number of tables to sit at during the complimentary breakfast that takes place from 6 – 9 every morning. A giant television on the far wall will stream the days headlines as you eat and converse with other people staying there.
The workout room is a 24 hour facility, but I have to say from what I saw it was pretty dismal. 1 bench, maybe two dozen barbells, 3 or 4 cardio machines, and thats about it, all inside a 20×20 ft room. It really gets awkward when there are more than 2 people there, because you can’t turn around without someones unmentionables in your face.
As for the rooms themselves, I give them an A. I loved mine. You walk in and there is an office area to your left, a microwave and a small refrigerator, coffee pot — everything you need for a short stay. To the right was a couch, end tables, and a nice hdtv to watch when you get back to your room (AMC, HBO, Comedy Central, and CNBC were my favorites.).
Giant king sized bed at the far end of the suite, a full shower, and a sink to put your toothbrush are all included, along with the daily cleaning provided by the friendly staff. Free Wifi and Internet connections throughout the building also makes this a winner in my book.
I gotta hit Suites with –1 star for the size of the fitness room, and another –1 star for the utter lack of quality I saw in the fruit section at the complimentary breakfast. It looked like they scooped out all the day old fruit from the local grocers and gave them up to us the next day — finding fruit that isnt stained or bruised is a feat in and of itself every morning. C’mon guys, for $ 130 a night, you can’t get fresher fruit?

It’s an ok place to stay, right off of I-​95. The staff was wonderful and I have no qualms about the customer service. However, the rooms could use some renovation. They appeared kind of old for Marriott’s.

LOCATION: The property is pretty but it’s not really located in the middle of anything. You have to drive to get anywhere like malls, beach, or shopping center.
SERVICE: Excellent. No problems with staff. However, there was one mishap. I was supposed to have a shuttle arranged for me but was not available in the morning so they called me a taxi and reimbursed me for the taxi. I didn’t mind but they should have had that ready especially since I confirmed the night before. Would have saved a little stress.
ROOMS: Nice! They are really big. A little kitchenette with a fridge, microwave, sink. Couch and and desk make up a little office area then the bedroom area. We had a nice flat screen that rotated to face either the bedroom area or office area. The bathrooms were average but still nice. You can tell the place is a bit old from the hallways and elevators but other than that the rooms, lounge, pool, etc look very clean and new.
AMENITIES: No lotion! Boo! Shampoo/​conditioner/​soap very low quality and not a brand name. Pool (6 ft deep at deepest) and hot tub. Office with fast internet and a printer. Woohoo! Also free wireless in all rooms! Gym is average and small like most hotel gyms.
PERKS: Complimentary breakfast 6:30 — 9:30am every moring, which is very good! It includes hot oatmeal, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, sausage, bagels, toast, english muffins, fruit (apples, oranges, bananas), 5 different cereals, yogurt (yoplait, dannon light and fit, and activia), make-​yourself waffles, coffee, juices, etc. Much better than your traditional continental breakfast. The scrambled eggs tasted kind of weird though. They have coffee and tea available all day in the lounge area but the coffee SUCKS… even when it’s freshly made. Sometimes in the front desk they have fresh cookies. They always have lollipops. You could really get fat at this hotel.
NOTE: Yes, this place does not have a restaurant or bar but that wasn’t a big deal to us.
CONCLUSION: This is not the nicest hotel I’ve ever stayed at but is nice enough and has the amenities to compensate for it’s few deficiencies. However, I would rather stay in a location closer to more landmarks but the hotel itself is pretty nice.

Most hotel restaurants are hardly worth patronizing in my experience. But let me tell you that you do not realize what a resource a hotel restaurant/​bar is until you stay someplace, like the Springhill Suites, that has neither a restaurant or a bar.
The rooms here are quite decent, and it is an extended stay where each room has a kitchen. But the nearest grocery store is a $ 20 cab ride away, so I would not recommend this place if you don’t have a rental vehicle or your own transportation arrangements.
The front desk tries to be helpful by recommending the «best» take-​out places to order from, but they struck out during my stay in three attempts with three different recommendations.
Find a different place, unless you have your own traveling food stuffs.
