Almost average hotel.
Although the room was clean, the room needed work. The stove was rusted, the bed was broken, and the floors were really sticky. The locks on the door were loose too so I didn't feel entirely secure in the room while a party was going above me all night and into the morning. The parking lot was dirty with a lot of debris. The bathroom only had one bad of soap and no other personal hygiene stuff. I expected more from Extended Stay.

The room was gross and smelled horrible. There was nothing in the room not even soap to wash your hands. Two of the lamps didn't have light bulbs, the stove was rusty, the outlets were not attached to the wall and wires were hanging out. The phone didn't work. It doesn't say anything about having to pay a deposit once you check in. The "person in charge lived at the property" but wasn't available. Had to request a blanket for the bed because there was only a sheet. We will absolutely not be staying here again.

This property is very old and appears to not have been updated. The rooms are very small and the carpets and furnishings are very old and therefore appear to be dirty. The beds were clean and neatly made but the mattress was also very old and it felt like I was laying directly on the springs.

The property did not oblige the reservation. I called in the front desk to hold the room and they said YeS. But later when I reached late in the middle of the night. Front desk is least bothered to answer the door and after round about a and multiple calls, they said they are over booked. Pathetic location of the hotel and its right in front of a signal. Not a safer area by the overall look of the property

When I was Calling customer services, they made us call yet another number to get things straightened out. When I was Waiting anouter family arrived and experienced the same thing.

The staff in the office was very helpful is super nice! The property itself was very run down. There are a lot of random people walking around the property and hanging out at all hours of the day and night. The room had no shower curtain, bath towels, rugs/mats, trash can (in the bathroom or kitchen) and no blanket (comforter) for the bed. The carpets were heavily stained and although it was a non-smoking room, the room smelled of smoke even though I cleaned it with bleach daily.

I booked this motel due to the price, but I definately won't book here again. Aside from there being no coffee maker, hair dryer or any kitchen utensils in the attached kitchen area, there was only one lone roll of toilet paper provided for a five-night stay with three people. When it ran out, we asked the front desk for more and were told they did not have any! We had to make a trip to the store specifically for toilet paper that should have been provided. Plus, this motel is located in the "ghetto" of Durham, NC and I felt unsafe staying there with my 10-year-old daughter.
