RESIDENCE INN BY MARRIOTT WEST PALM BEACH, West Palm Beach

The Residence Inn sits in a hotel-focused area with easy access to I-95, making it a practical base for both business and leisure travelers. It is 10 km from Palm Beach International Airport and close to major employers like Carrier Corp, United Technologies, Flight Safety International, and Thermo Fisher. Medical centers such as St Mary's Medical Center, Good Samaritan Medical Center, and JFK Medical Center are nearby. The location also provides direct access to the Palm Beach Convention Center, Palm Beach Outlets, Rapids Water Park (3 km), Kravis Center for the Performing Arts (9 km), Ball Park of the Palm Beaches, iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre, and area beaches. Within walking distance, you'll find a Cracker Barrel and a gas station, and a Walmart is a short walk away. While the immediate surroundings are mostly hotels and chain restaurants, the central interstate location makes driving to downtown West Palm Beach, the airport, and the beach straightforward. The hotel does not offer an airport shuttle, so a car or rideshare is recommended for full mobility.

Every suite features a fully equipped kitchen with a stovetop, microwave, and dishwasher, along with a separate living room and a work desk. Bed options include queen suites with one queen bed and a sofa bed, and two-bedroom suites with a queen in one room and a king in the other, plus a queen pullout couch in the living room. Rooms have air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. Private bathrooms include a roll-in shower option in accessible rooms, and all suites have a private bathroom. The property was renovated in October 2022, though some rooms show signs of wear. Suites are spacious and practical, but the sofa bed may be less comfortable for adults. Some rooms may experience noise from slamming doors, and the single elevator can be slow. For those needing more quiet, a room away from the elevator is advisable. No rooms have a balcony. Lighting in some units can be dim, and some microwaves or appliances have been reported as non-functional, so checking all equipment upon arrival is wise.

The daily complimentary breakfast includes a buffet with hot dishes such as scrambled eggs, oatmeal with healthy toppings, local specialities, pastries, juice, and fruit. The breakfast area attendant is known for being helpful and maintaining a well-stocked and clean setup. For guests with early flights, staff can sometimes arrange a grab-and-go option if breakfast is not yet ready. There is no restaurant on-site for lunch or dinner, but a snack bar is available for light snacks and beverages. A convenience store on the property offers additional grab-and-go items. Nearby dining options within walking distance include Cracker Barrel, Wendy's (0.5 km), and other chain restaurants such as BJ's Brewhouse and Duffy's Sports Bar. Guests seeking a wider variety of dining can drive to the Palm Beach Outlets or downtown West Palm Beach.

The outdoor swimming pool is heated and open year-round from 9:00 to 21:00, with sun loungers and umbrellas provided. The pool area can be busy and sometimes noisy late in the evening. A tennis court and tennis equipment are available free of charge, and there is also a basketball court.

There is no spa or wellness center on site.
