The worst hotel I have stayed ever. I could smell the smoking from a non-smoking room. The hair dryer was so dirty. No tissue no extra cups.

Our room was down the hall from the front desk, so much noise! They talked loudly, guest came in and no one was there so they were loudly trying to find someone. Was woken up at 12:30 with all this loud talking. Paid decent money for 2-3 hours of sleep. I would not recommend this property!!

It is hard to beat the convenience and cost of Extended Stay when you factor in the reasonable room cost and the meal savings by eating in. The road to the hotel is deteriorated and full of pot holes and badly needs new surfacing. The hotel condition is average and cleanliness is average. This location provides not pots/pans/dishes/glassware, those items need to be requested and we only received paper goods. Still it was a good value.

In an effort to keep this fair and honest, let me start off by saying my preferences are hotels that are inviting, that smell good, that are clean, so when you stumble into them after working a 12 hour shift, they are pleasant and make you want to just shower and pass out. My first experience with this Extended Stay was foul odors when walking in, the place just smelled old and dirty. I get into the elevator and it smells like moth balls. I get off the elevator to walk to my room and the various odors from people that are cooking or have cooked recently floods the hallway, so right away my nose wants to jump off my face and run away. Tired, I just ignore it and go to my room to shower and sleep. Shortly after falling asleep I awaken to the sound of the noisy elevator equipment, which ran non-stop all night, waking me up over and over. On top of that, everytime someone in a room next to me would talk, cough, etc… I could hear it like they were in my room, so poor sound proofing. On top of it all the place seems hellbent on making people paranoid. All over the place there are signs that say, you are being recorded on CCTV to help prosecute criminal activity, some of these signs have hilarious misspellings by the way. I would walk passed the front desk, there was one lady who would just stare at me, I know I’m cute but at least say hi. Overall, not my cup of tea. If your nose doesn’t work and you can sleep through anything, you might like it.

No More Extended Stays for Us.
This hotel is old. The hallways smelled like mothballs the smell was so strong we started coughing. The rooms looked like they were still in the 90s. Our TV has mysterious stains on it as did some of the furniture. The sheets never stayed on the bed. To top it all off there was no AC in the bedroom. like WHAT! For an long stay hotel there were no utensils or dishes in the rooms. Not even a coffee maker. Everything had to be checked out from the front desk. No more Extended Stay Americas for us.

Comfortable Stay for me -- and my Dog!
Hotel was conveniently located. Near Starbucks, Panera Bread, Petsmart, Olive Garden, Outback, Target, Staples and many other shops and restaurants. Lots of parking. The staff was absolutely terrific. Fast, efficient and friendly. Room was comfortable and had everything I needed. Great rate, too. And pet friendly! Staff not only didn't have an attitude about my dog, they went out of their way to stop and Flower a friendly pat. They seemed to genuinely want me and my dog to enjoy our stay -- and we did.

I didn't like the fact i got double charged by the hotel itself when i said i had reservations. They asked my card number i said its not mine but it's probably a Expedia thing and they disagreed and charged me another 100$ for a three hour nap... totalling 218$. That's still not refunded days later.

I tried so hard to be positive - especially for my poor 85 year old grandmother. The chairs were filthy in the kitchen area. They were 2 computer chairs that were supposed to be black. The seats were covered in grease and white spots. I couldn't decide if it was mold or not. A cockroach ran out of the bathroom and tried to take up residence under my sneakers. I caught him and put him down the garbage disposal (nice addition). I told the front desk and she didn't seem the least bit concerned and simply said she'd inform management. It seemed like she was covering someone who was on break because she didn't know how to do anything with their system including print a receipt. The "breakfast" is 2 pots of the same coffee and a handful of granola bars. Oh, yes, and hot water and some oatmeal packets. Overall, it was dirty and disappointing and I would not recommend staying there.

Okay, but room for improvement
I've come to expect lack luster accommodations because of my fur friend, while convenient Extended Stay America left a lot to be desired. Our room had a heavy smoke odor, that we ended up sleeping with the window open in mid november. The kitchenette and bathroom were a bit outdated and grungy looking. Overall, an okay stop for a one night sleep, but will end up booking somewhere else next time.
