I usually love RI during business stays for the conveniences and larger rooms. This one falls short of the standard I'm used to from this hotel chain.
For starters, they use the "COVID crutch" some hotels have fallen into. Missing conveniences like folios and office supplies in the rooms, and no daily room cleanings (except by special request). Despite the staff's claim of "we got rid of these because of COVID concerns", every hand sanitizing station on the property was empty, and none of the employees wear masks.
Likewise, the breakfast buffet is still at 50% (at best) of what it was. "We have bagels for you... oh but no cream cheese!". No fresh fruit at all, and a limited supply of breads and pastries. Basically, if it expires or goes bad and you can't reserve it for weeks on end, this Residence Inn has decided to stop stocking it in their morning breakfast.
When I see all these shortcomings at a hotel, I think "you're not being concerned, you're being cheap". Shame on you Residence Inn Dallas Plano/Richardson.
