The room was clean. However, it says that is a No Smoking hotel and there was a heavy cigarette smell in many areas, let alone Marijuana smell very strong in the hallways, very uncomfortable. They do not provide breakfast as advertised, it's just coffee & tea. But room was clean, free of smells and staff was very friendly and courteous.

Due to the issues encountered, we had to book alternative accommodations for the remainder of our trip.

Our experience was unacceptable for several reasons:

- Cleanliness and Odor: There was an unpleasant smell in the hallway, and our room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke.
- Lack of Amenities: The kitchen was not equipped with pots, pans, or dishes. Additionally, there were no toiletries, such as shampoo or body wash, provided in the shower.
- Breakfast Quality: The advertised breakfast consisted only of coffee and a small prepackaged muffin.
- Environment: The hotel was very loud in the evening, and I did not feel safe staying there with my children.

Despite my request to speak with a manager during our stay, I was never able to do so. If you book through a third party site you will not be able to change your reservation.

The room was clean but i always had a smell of smoke in my room every night even though it was a smoke free building there was smoking everywhere. The breakfast was one horrible blueberry muffin and package oatmeal and coffee. There was not an actual breakfast very misleading. While the inside was okay the outside was in a sketchy area my last night i woke up at 6am to shooting. I felt like i was being constantly watched when i stepped outside in the parking lot. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Would not stay again.

Staff was friendly. The room was filthy—floors were dirty (our feet turned black instantly), the bathroom had 2 bars of used soap on the top ledge, multiple black hairs were found in the stack of washcloths in the bathroom, and the fleece blanket had crumbs and hairs on it. It’s obvious that they didn’t do a very good job cleaning the room and based off the multiple bars of soap left in the shower, that wasn’t touched. Area is a little sketch at night (don’t make the mistake I did and walk to the 7-11 behind the building).

I was ultimately shocked that the hotel even bothered charging what they did for this hotel. This should have been a $70 stay at most! Not $175! I booked a room here and so did my friends. The first room they got was horrendous and dirty, they were able to ask for a new room and were moved over with haste. The room we got was on the second floor. it was so musty, but thought we could get through it since we will be in the room. Entering the room was, however, so much worse. Better put.. smelled like boiled broccoli and asparagus, smelly feet and dirty laundry. We tried to air it out without asking for a new room, but it was so bad. I has asked, but was told there was just nothing they could do, but was offered axe body spray from his car, the other lady behind the desk offered my febreeze to spray. I sprayed every surface, vent, and practically gassed myself out of the room. Aside from that, the people who seem to live at this extended stay on the second floor kept me up all night doing whatever it was... the shower was leaking, there was rust all over the bathroom counter and sink. I get that we were only staying for one night, but it was such a bad experience, it was not worth the money or the lack of sleep before having to drive 4 hours home the day after. If you can. find somewhere else to stay. Their were so many loud people outside the parking lot doing whatever, and homeless sleeping in the cemetery just feet away from the parking lot. Just didn't feel safe overall.

1/10 just avoid.

To start… we got in extremely late and were told there was an audit happening which meant we couldn't check in for 40 minutes. Us and our toddler who we just woke up to bring into the hotel and who began a melt down being told we had to stay in the “lobby” area which is just a hallway with no chairs, and luckily the receptionist did bring a chair but still… if i had known that we couldnt check in at this time i wouldve booked another hotel more suitable for our needs. The room also smelled of cigarettes so strongly. Breakfast is muffins instant oatmeal packets and coffee. It just was a terrible beginning to end. BUT the bed was comfy or maybe i was so exhausted from this encounter anything would be comfy.

Property appearance looked just fine. Unfortunately the streets around the hotel have trash all along sidewalk. I know its not anything the hotel can do about that. In fact the property had excellent kind and helpful staff. My only complaint was last night there I had a group of people playing loud music and yelling as they toasted shots. I could hear through the walls this was an 18th birthday celebration. I asked front desk for music turned down but music continued til 3am. Final conclusion: Good place to stay Monday thru Friday morning but not weekends.

Expedia set this up for my soulmate and I after we found out the day before arriving- the hotel shut its doors. So- we would have been stranded.
Alkram, the manager, of Extended stay in Alexandria Virginia made our visit a pleasant surprise. It was 10 minutes from my competition venue and walking distance from the grocery store and various restaurants!
It was a better than expected visit. I would seriously consider visiting again.

I guess I need “frills”, not a “no frills hotel”

Very thin walls, just walking down the hallway to our room, I could hear EVERYTHING in the other rooms from cooking, tvs, and sexual relations! Upon entering my room, the bathroom door was shut and opening it release an awful smell, so much so I check the toilet to see if the seal was bad allowing sewer gasses in. Very poor patch jobs on counter and walls, covered with caulk instead of paint, etc. Other patrons creeped me out so bad eyeing my 21 year old daughter I no longer felt safe enough to stay and was given a full refund for the 20 minutes I was there.

Broken shower

The shower in my suite did not work. I informed the front desk , he came upstairs and confirmed that it was not working. He told me politely that there were no other rooms available. I needed to shower so he opened a room that was vacant but not cleaned yet so I could take a shower. I had to leave my room on the 2nd floor at almost midnight to go on the 3rd floor in order to clean up and came back to my room. I asked if I’ll get some form of compensation because of how inconvenient this was. I did not. In addition the pillow cases were dirty; had to remove pillow and sleep without. I had a very uncomfortable night. I hope they can read this review and refund me because that showering on the 3rd floor was very inconvenient!
