Everything was nice and on point. The only issue was that there were no silverware or pots and pans in the rooms. After asking the staff why this was and I was informed that the reason was that past guest stole them or broke them which caused this hotel to not provide them anymore. But that was an easy fix and they apologized for that inconvenience. But other than that the hotel was perfect clean and smelled clean and nice.

There are no utensils available in the studio though they have a stove, microwave and refrigerator. There is no breakfast available, only coffee during limited hours. Staff is not always available in the front and even the on-call phone is not answered. Room was not stocked with basic toilet paper. Its an okay place to stay but please be aware of what to expect. The rooms are not as nice as the photos.

Our room had a broken lock and light fixtures dangling from the ceiling. The front desk guy was polite and helpful but had to check with his manager for everything. The room smelled awful(like stale Asian food cooking) the tv remote didn’t work and there was a red stain on the bedding. I’d you are looking for a cheap place to stay it’s cool, but probably not a great place for a family

The convenient Extended Stay hotel !

My stay was pretty good. I stayed because of the convenience, it was close to the hospital I am working at 15mins away. The WiFi was horrible however my stay was ok otherwise. The hotel was clean & very convenient in
that it has a kitchen. The staff were friendly & accommodating. I wanted to book another stay but they were sold out.

I got a great night sleep in the comfy bed. The young man at the counter was really friendly and helpful. I did think it was odd that there were no dishes, cups, silverware or pots and pans in the kitchen. The front desk doesn’t open until 9 AM and I couldn’t figure out where to put my key cards. There was a large garage type door that have been pulled down in front of the lobby desk. I took my keys back to the room and left them on the table.

When we arrived, there was no one at the front desk, and security provided us with a key. At our building entrance, several individuals were loitering nearby, which made us feel uneasy about entering. We attempted to reach security for assistance, but no one answered. After inspecting the room and the surroundings, we ultimately decided to leave because we did not feel safe. This property seems to function more like temporary housing rather than a traditional hotel.

Please don’t stay here. It smells like cigarettes and weed. They have ROACHES, the light switches didn’t work, and someone peed in the toilet and left it there. They also give your room away; they overbook and don’t guarantee the room you get. Because I was supposed to have a two-queen bed room, they gave me a single room and told me the couch was the other queen. The elevator was broken, and the hallway carpets were wet because the A/C leaked all over the floor. The people in the hotel are smoking in their rooms. This place must be shut down; it's not livable for anyone. I will definitely be reporting this place to the city and health inspectors as well.

completely sketchy

older property, sad looking fixtures and appliances but could have been ok for the price. zero idea how this place got an 8 out of 10, at best this would be a 5 or 6 honestly. broken drawer, no comforter at all so it was freezing at night, even the heater couldn't keep up with the cold outside. check in guy was nice. can't say much about any of the other staff or the morning staff. literally heard a woman screaming and man fighting with bang sounds and the walls shaking like she was being beaten over and over, wasn't sure if she was the floor above or on my floor. tried to call front desk but they were gone for the night. i don't know if there was a breakfast since i missed the time slot, but i saw on the check in email that there was supposed to be. anyways, i gather there are some people living here for a permanent basis for whatever reason, so you have a really sketchy and stupid clientele who won't shut up at 2 am and are completely tone deaf with rudeness or large dogs barking. i wouldn't stay here again if it was free

The only nice thing about the place was the nightstands. They looked like they are trendy. I found hair all over the kitchen, the nightstands. There were traces of bedbugs under the bed. It was awful. I think you could find somewhere on the street cleaner than this place. I’m had to call a phone number to check in and the check in counter was behind a roll top door. The employee too almost 10 minutes to come down. It’s very unprofessional. All previous extended stay campuses seem to be like this. I am sure this is not the first time this has happened.

It will do once in the room

Alishia was upbeat, pleasant and helpful at check-in. Returned late one night and key would not let me in the front door. Nightman answered phone quickly, was responsive and friendly. Hallway had a different food odor each night, not pleasant. Room was clean enough but couple of dead bugs by the AC unit, didn't see any live ones during the stay. Bathroom was clean, kitchen area clean but extremely date and one cupboard door would not stay closed. They need to rip out the carpet, probably clean but just doesn't look it anymore

Very dissatisfied

I am handicapped impaired and had reserved an accessible room. There were no rooms available. They first put us on the 3rd floor with an out of order elevator meaning I would have to walk 3 flights of stairs. The room on the 3rd floor was already occupied so we were giving a room on the 2nd floor. The fire alarm chirped the entire trip because of a dead battery. We replaced the battery with a new battery to no avail. The refrigerator portion did not function even after adjusting the thermostat. The freezer portion froze solid every thing we put in it. It was just ridiculous. We will never stay here again nor will I recommend it to anyone I know

Garbage all over when walking to breakfast every morning. Mostly only issues with the room. Disappointed with no fridge and then the size of the one that came. Multi-night stays should have a decent mini fridge. Couldn’t even fit the water bottle provided. Shower was a drizzle and shampoo was labeled hand soap and hand soap was label was scratched off… very confusing so i just bought my own. Phone also did not work in the room and floor must have been dirty cause only time i went barefoot was to shower and lint and dirt was everywhere once i got in. Overall though, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Appreciated that. Still wouldn’t stay again unfortunately. Sorry

The rooms are very spacious and it was great having a full size fridge and freezer - and laundry facilities. FYI, bring laundry soap (there’s none to purchase on property so we ran to Kroger). It’s $2.50 per cycle, and takes credit card or quarters.

My only issue was there were three bath towels…and four of us who needed to shower.

For the price and amenities, I would 💯 stay here again!

I paid $114 for staying overnight, and I was misled by some of the best reviews, when instead I should have followed the 2/10 reviews.
Although the bathroom, bed, and surfaces seemed to have been cleaned, the kitchen and bathroom floors were sticky, which indicates that the cleaning was deficient. Illumination was poor and some of the light bulbs did not work, and the TV's remote did not work. They had advertised breakfast, and the next morning there was no breakfast at all. Definitely over rated and not the best bang for your money.

I walked into the room with my 2 children and started gagging from the smell. Because the air conditioning was off, the humidity in the room combined with the lingering smell of weed in the dirty carpet was overwhelming. It was midnight, and we had been driving for hours, and everything was booked, so we did not have a choice but to make do. Truly a disgusting place. Extremely rundown, cabinets were dirty, no trash can, and there was no way that I was letting my kids take a shower in that bathroom. The place needs a complete overhaul.

Card never opened gym door. Barely opened bedroom. Curtain would not close all the way, too much to list but I made a video. Pay a little more to stay somewhere else.
