Overview
The Residence Inn by Marriott Phoenix Glendale/Peoria is a 3-star extended-stay hotel at 8435 W Paradise Ln in Peoria, Arizona, designed for guests staying multiple nights or longer. It holds a 4.2 rating from 344 reviews, reflecting generally positive experiences with a modern, clean property. The hotel emphasizes an apartment-style stay with full kitchens rather than a traditional short-stay hotel layout.
Rooms & Suites
Accommodations range from studios to two-bedroom suites, all featuring free Wi-Fi and full kitchens for self-catering. Living areas come with flat-screen TVs and pull-out sofas, and larger suites add separate living spaces plus an extra TV, suiting longer stays or families needing more room. Some guests have noted that certain rooms run smaller than expected for the suite category, and one review mentioned a bed sized differently than advertised, so it's worth confirming bed and room configuration at booking.
Amenities & On-Site Services
The property offers an outdoor pool, a fitness room, and a picnic area with BBQ grills for guest use. A small on-site market covers quick essentials, and the hotel provides grocery delivery service, useful for an extended-stay clientele stocking their in-room kitchens. Complimentary hot breakfast, free parking, and regular evening social gatherings round out the included amenities, and pets are welcome for a fee.
Location & Nearby Attractions
The hotel sits within a few miles of numerous Peoria and Glendale attractions, including Rio Vista Community Park (about 2.4 km away), Thunderbird Conservation Park and Sahuaro Ranch Park (both under 8 km), and Deer Valley Petroglyph Preserve and Martin Auto Museum (roughly 8-9 km). Slightly farther out are Westgate Entertainment District, Desert Diamond Casino - West Valley, and Hurricane Harbor Phoenix (10-12 km), as well as Castles N' Coasters, Mattel Adventure Park, Desert Storm, and Surprise Community Park (13 km range). It is about 10 miles from University of Phoenix Stadium (home of the Arizona Cardinals), 9 miles from Tanger Outlets Phoenix, and roughly 34 miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
Best for
This hotel best suits extended-stay travelers, relocating professionals, and families who value full kitchens, laundry-style comforts, and living space over a standard hotel room. Its proximity to parks, water and amusement parks, a shopping outlet, and an entertainment district also makes it a practical base for families or groups combining leisure days with a longer visit to the West Valley.
Travel tips
Because the hotel is near a highway, guests sensitive to traffic and road noise should request a room away from the roadside to avoid disturbances reported by some visitors. A car is recommended for reaching the area's spread-out attractions, from nearby parks a few kilometers away to Westgate Entertainment District, Tanger Outlets, and the stadium several miles out. Plan for roughly a 30-40 minute drive to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport given the approximate 34-mile distance.
What guests say
Guests frequently praise the friendly, responsive front-desk and hotel staff, along with the hotel's cleanliness and convenient location near restaurants and shopping. Several reviewers highlight comfort during multi-week stays, including thoughtful touches like in-shower toiletries lasting an entire visit. On the negative side, some guests report rooms feeling smaller than expected for their suite category, a bed size that didn't match its listing, and noticeable traffic noise from the nearby highway that disrupted sleep. Overall sentiment leans positive, with service and location cited most often as strengths and room size/noise as the main recurring complaints.
