The first room had a dirty bathroom with hair in the sink and tub. The desk clerk was very helpful in helping us find another room. We went through 4 more rooms since there were no more doubles available and found 2 suitable rooms. Even then the one had toothpaste in the sink and soap around the rim. The elevator was dirty and had a dirty rubber glove on the floor. They need to learn how to properly clean the bathrooms. There was no problem with the rest of the room. The staff was wonderful, but this property looks like the owner doesn't care. The breakfast had no real choices.

Major upgrades are needed, windows didn't close/lock properly. At least 3 junk cars (flat tires and broken out windows) parked in the parking lot including an RV that looks like it has been there since it was built.
Crumbs on the counter as we walked into our room, beds were not crisply made, hairs in the bed.
I will never stay at an Extended Stay ever again. Property is very sketchy, but in a decent/nice area, so I figured it would be fine when I booked it.

This one of the worst experiences that I have had in over 40 years of traveling and staying in hotels. We had reservations from over 6 months ago, called the day of to confirm. We were in town for a concert, and called to see if we could check in early, and were told to not worry and that they would have late checkin available due to all the concertgoers. After the concert, we went to checkin at 11:30 and were told that they didn’t have any rooms! My brother-in-law and sister-in law also had reservations for a second room here. Horrible customer service—front desk lady couldn’t reach her manager. No resolution offered or able to help at all. We had to drive 90 minutes to get back to their house. I would strongly recommend to never stay here or especially believe that if you have a reservation that it will be honored!
If management took any responsibility, I would expect that they would reach out to us!

We called twice earlier in the day to make sure we could still check in at midnight after a concert. We were assured it was fine.

We had booked 2 rooms with two double beds, during check in they told that they are sold out for such rooms, and they gave us 4 rooms with 1 queen bed each. We had to split families to adjust in such rooms.
Cleanliness was avg, both inside rooms and in common areas. Overall property looks aged.
Kitchenette is functional.
Breakfast is a sham, grab and go, with only muffins, bars and coffee.
Overall, not a great experience

This is an old dilapidated hotel. We were assigned to single room when I booked a double. We were given a rejected double room. Unacceptable from dirty windows, non-working wifi that needed attention from the staff, who were just slow to attend to the issue, broken furnitures, TV that needs fixing, shower knobs that is almost coming out of the wall, old AC unit that is noisy as it can get. Just terrible to be in. Requested a room transfer but the desk was firm on not giving into our request. Why is Expedia doing business with this hotel? I demand refund from Expedia!!

I reserved a room with two beds, none were available when we checked in. It took 4 tries before we were able to get into a room.
First room, toilet was plugged and wouldn't flush.
Second room smelled like someone had smoked in the room and the phone didn't work in the room
Third the key wouldn't work and there was red tape on the lock
Fourth room we were able to get into.

The kitchen had no dishes in it. I understand after rereading another review you could ask for a kitchen kit. This wasn't mentioned at check in.

The vinyl floor area was sticky. One chair has some kind of dirt on it. We covered it with a towel.

There was an ice cube tray in the freezer with ice in it that was yellowish. Very unappealing.

There weren't visible lines in the parking lot and there was a large pot in the middle of one of the exits.

The property looked tired.

For me, it was adequate for my 4nite stay. I did not plan to spend many waking hours in the room. The bathroom had not been cleaned prior to my arrival (i,e., 1/2 used shampoo bottle & 1 used bar of soap). Only a thin blanket & bedcover for warmth (the low temp was in the low 40s). The bedside wall sconce lamp was not functioning.

The window heater worked well. The 1irst floor room was quiet. There were some sparse breakfast items available (hot cereal choices), but since I was meeting people for meals, I didn’t partake. They did permit late 2 hour late checkout.

If I was with any traveling companion, I would probably not stay there.

My bed was comfortable, and the room was spacious. I did read in advance that the kitchens were not stocked- you would have to ask the front desk for supplies like utensils and glasses, which I did. The only thing in the kitchen was a kitchen towel and a small packet of dishwasher detergent. But there wasn't a dishwasher, so cleaning your borrowed kitchen items with dishwasher detergent powder is not exactly normal. They should have little bottles of dish soap. My fridge and freezer were set to the highest settings, but they didn't work. I put an ice pack in the freezer overnight, and it was barely cool in the morning. I had put little bottles of milk and OJ (that I brought from home because they don't have any there) in the fridge overnight, and they were barely cold in the morning, so I had to throw them out. The hotel doesn't have an ice machine, which is frustrating. The kitchen freezer comes with ice cube trays, but as I mentioned, my freezer didn't work anyway. The desk chair was stained all over and needed to be cleaned or replaced. The bathroom fan was very loud, and the bathroom and kitchen floors were a bit sticky. The sink and shower were fine. The TV remote was annoying. When I tried to use the guide feature on the remote, the channel information on the screen did not match the actual channel. The most irritating thing was the marijuana smell the minute I got out of my car in the parking lot. People were smoking outside the entrance at all times. Gross.

Very economical choice, with kitchenettes, but housekeeping more than once in two weeks is a charge. The staff are efficient and accommodating and they will swap you clean towels and linens. They have kits of kitchen stuff like plates or utensils available.

There is a frequent bus to Downtown and Central Campus, a six-minute walk away at “The Ride” bus stop in the Briarwood Mall parking lot. You can pay for a $3 day pass on your phone and just show the bus driver. Much easier

They are not maintaining this hotel at all. The back entrance door entry was tie wrapped to keep unlocked due to broken card reader. Trash cans in hall way and outside dumpster was spliiing over. TV controller was broken. Cover of ceiling room light was missing. There is no way to control room temperature so had to open window to cool down room. Had to listen to highway traffic all night. For extended stay hotel, there were no accessories in kitchen, like pots, pans, silverware or plates. They are definitely not investing in this hotel. Not what you would expect.

Overal good experience for two nights. Good bang for buck if you're in town and just need a room to crash thats not small. Stove and fridge is an added bonus for the price. Coffee and muffins for breakfast in the lobby is not the greatest but for a quick fix of caffeine and a snack in the morning is appreciated.

No one was at the front desk for 25 minutes. We arrived there after 10 pm. The phone that said to call “O” if no one was at the desk was broken. When the woman working the next shift came into the lobby to start work, she was surly and defensive. The room she sent us to had a half smoked cigar, an open can of beer, an unmade bed, and a bloody washcloth in it, so when I went back to the front desk and said we needed another room because of all that, she was rude again and slow walked the whole process.

As a traveling nurse, my hotel stays are often short but important, especially after long shifts. Unfortunately, my recent experience at this location of Extended Stay America left much to be desired, particularly when it comes to customer service and first impressions.

Upon arrival, I waited approximately 10 minutes at the front desk before being helped. During this time, housekeeping staff attempted to locate the front desk agent by calling and texting him — all without success until he finally appeared. There was no greeting, no smile, and no acknowledgment of the wait. While I understand staff may be stretched thin, basic hospitality and professionalism at check-in are critical, especially when dealing with guests who are arriving after overnight shifts.

What added to the frustration was the lack of transparency regarding early check-in fees. I had called the night before to confirm if an early check-in around 10:40am would be possible, given my work schedule. The night auditor assured me it would be fine — no mention was made of a $10 per hour early check-in fee. Had I known, I may have chosen a different hotel chain like Hilton, where I typically receive consistent and professional service for a similar price.

The property itself also lacked the cleanliness and polish I’ve experienced at other Extended Stay America locations. The lobby area appeared unfinished or possibly under renovation, which may explain its unprofessional appearance. However, combined with the po

It's unfortunate that I have to write a terrible review as it has never been the case when we travel. But, the conditions at this location were disgusting. It was apparent that some poor housekeeper had tried her best but the room was equal to a college dorm room that someone had trashed and left.The refrigerator was rusty and the front all marked, chips out of the counters, large chips of paint off the walls, and the heat/air did not even turn on. We alerted the front desk abt this but said they couldn't do anything abt it. When we returned after being out for the day, we were locked out of our room & the front desk (nice guy though) told us that no one was in that room. Obviously our stuff was in there.
