Extended Stay America Suites Houston Med Ctr Braeswood Bl

Extended Stay America Suites Houston Med Ctr Braeswood Bl

2/10 Terrible
"We had two rooms in the 3 days we were there. Both rooms were disgusting. The worst was room 341. The walls were dirty. We could not use the couch or chairs because they were so dirty. The bathtub leaked and got the floor soaked. The caulking job was terrible. The bathtub felt like you could fall through it. The air unit kicked on in the middle of the night and woke us up because it smelt like nasty burnt pee. They did not come clean our room when I asked that they do at the front desk. The only thing available for breakfast was coffee, hot water and a basket of cereal bars. Being a hockey family we have been in many hotels and I have never experienced such uncleanliness. The staff was friendly and apologized but gave the excuse that they are an extended stay and only clean their rooms every 14 days! What?? Not acceptable."
