SpringHill Suites by Marriott Hotels in Sanford

We stayed here for 4 days and will definitely be back. Yes, the property shows signs of wear, notably wood furniture in the room, but otherwise in good shape. All of the furniture was operational, ie: drawers still worked fine, drawer pulls were still solidly attached, etc. Aircon was newer and worked very well and was quiet. Bathroom also was showing its age a bit but was clean. The tub had some small rust spots, but was clean. No dust on the lamps or pictures. Beds were comfortable, linens were in good shape. Carpet in the room was also clean and didn't show signs of wear. One of the days we were here, they were shampooing the carpets in the breakfast area and lobby mid-day. Not a disruption, but nice to see they're still keeping up the property. Imran at the front desk was very friendly and helpful, especially with recommendations around the area. He also mentioned that this hotel will be renovated soon and plans are already underway. As far as issues reported by others recently, yes, there was only one elevator operating when we were there. We were on the top floor and still found the wait time acceptable. Granted, the hotel wasn't full when we were there, but I've waited far longer at other hotels for an elevator before. Ice machine was working on our floor without issue and we were always able to get ice from it. Note that this hotel and other hotels nearby often get booked by groups for youth sports tournaments, and those groups often will fill their coolers before heading out to the fields. The only issues we encountered was one of the bathroom soap dispensers falling off the wall in the middle of the night that woke us up, and the room could have used more lighting, especially at the desk area. Usually SpringHills have a desk lamp. Our room did not. Overall, a good stay and we'd stay again, even without the renovation.
