Checked in at 6pm and there was no one at the front desk to help me for 45 min, the security guard had to call someone. The hotel description claims free breakfast which is a lie. They had no coffee but gave me directions to the local 7-11. The area is a ghetto, lost of homeless people around and the hotel gets the overflow of homeless at night. Skip this greedy corporate dive!

When we arrived, we saw that the gate to the parking lot was broken and wide open. There were three police vehicles with lights on arresting people in the parking lot. Also there were cars parked in the parking lot and people were living out of them. There was a lot of foot traffic in and out of the hotel, possibly it was a temporary housing vendor for low income? Our room and the hotel smelled of smoke. There were several bugs in our room and no shampoo or soap. We also saw someone vaping while at the front desk for check-in. My young daughter and I didn't feel safe or clean at the hotel so we decided to leave instead of stay the night. We were assured we would get a full refund, but they didn't follow through with that. I am extremely disappointed and would not recommend.

This is a no-frills hotel chain, so we were prepared for the lack of amenities. We were only there for one night, and it was fine. This was a last minute reservation, and we felt the value for the price was adequate. The location was good for our purposes, easy in and out, not too far from freeway. Despite looking like a hide-a-bed, the bed was actually comfortable. Shower was hot, though the faucet did have a steady drip after shut-off.

First of all it was filthy. Huge stains all over all over the carpeting in the Halls I mean stains everywhere it makes you wonder when the last time was they actually thoroughly cleaned those carpets. The bedding in the room was stained not the sheets but the Duval on the blanket. Drug dealers in the parking lot. Police activity. Absolutely will never go there again I can't believe a comfort in Extended Stay was so awful. Maybe the worst place I've ever been in my life.

We were in town for a convention. We got to the parking lot and did not want to get out of the car. People everywhere loitering, kids throwing stuff running around no adults. There were some but looked like they were just looking to buy or sell drugs, asking for spare change and looking like we were imposing in the area by being there. Should have turned around at that time but I'm thinking maybe inside was better.
Check in and head to the room, we pass a dirty stained matress against the wall next to our room door. Get in the room there's holes in the couch that i was suppose to pull out and sleep on, room was so dark no lighting but one lamp, writing on the walls. I didnt inspect the kitchen or bathroom. At this time the kids were freaked out and i was mad the pictures on the site basically lied. We walk right back out and say we do not want to stay there. Right in front of the manager we get threatened by some kids walking out of the elevator, no one says anything. The traffic in and out while we check out was so heavy, non smoking yet people smoking everywhere, loud yelling/ fighting in the building. We were told that we may not get our money back but wont know for at least a week. I just wanted to leave. It was NOT safe at all in the rooms or outside. It was like housing projects from movies. Obviously had tons pf people living there that had no where else to go. We get back to the car and there's a lady looking under the cars looks clearly on something. Just n

Rethink staying here

Please rethink staying at this hotel, it is part of some sort of housing program. There are homeless people wandering around everywhere. The place has a very distinct smell. it should be somehow advertised that this hotel is part of some housing program. These people are obviously here for the long-haul. They have lights in the windows their animals are there kids are there they have made themselves comfortable.

If you’re looking for cleanliness, comfort, safety, go somewhere else

Unfortunately, my stay was not as comfortable as I expected. There was a lot of noise inside the hotel, and I was woken up by loud screaming. The cleanliness was also below standard, as the sofa and the room needed more attention. This made me feel uncomfortable during my stay. I hope the hotel management improves these aspects to provide a better experience for future guests

I stayed for 7 days i ask the frint desk if someone can clean are room and they said we get a free cleaning every 2 weeks if you stayed less than that they will charge you. Theres like cockroaches in the restroom,,kitchen,bed. If you cancel the room theres a 1 day fee and more charges. Worst stay ever i regret for paying $900 for this 7 days staying there.

Do yourself a favor and stay away from this filth

Where do I start... The only good thing at this hotel was the front desk stuff. They were super polite and apologetic of the hotel's condition. It seems this hotel caters to homeless population that stays there long-term. Why they also rent out the rooms to guests daily is beyond me. We initially paid for 5 nights as we needed the accommodation in the area but ran away the very next morning. That there was garbage strewn out in the coridors and bad smell in the hallway was, I thought, tolerable. But our room (#146) had foul smell, like garbage, and it did not go away even after airing it out. Shower barely got warm and the noise was intolerable: it continued through the night and there was also something going off at 1am right in front of our room in the hallway. I was terrified. I've rarely had such bad experience. The nail in the coffin was two cockroaches that were roaming in our living room in the morning so we ran away almost screaming vowing never to return. This hotel needs help!

The parking lot and surrounding area was full of vagrants and suspicious individuals. There were cars overflowing with personal property parked on site and children riding their bikes straight out of the hotel. The rooms were mediocre at best. I checked in, decided I did not feel safe staying as a solo traveler once I saw my room, and immediately checked out. The front desk attendant was kind and apologetic, and did issue a refund, which I was not expecting. This property felt more like a local apartment complex than a hotel.

When you pull in there’s homeless roaming the parking lot. They are drinking and clearly using drugs, the cops even showed up at one point and didn’t even kick them out. It smells like cigarettes and weed in the halls and there is no ice machine. The inside of the room was clean and if you don’t have to leave your room just stay inside.

It is not fun to wake up at 1 a.m. and find roaches all over the area in your room. This place was by far THE WORST HOTEL i have stayed. Right at the entrance i noticed a funny smell to it.
Towels are handed out to you at the counter. And even some employees said the area isn't safe at one point THEIR OWN EMPLOYEE ADVISED A CUSTOMER TO GO DOWN THE STREET TO THE NEXT HOTEL. but the worst part is finding out the homeless ppl do break ins. And having the company of unwanted roaches all over the unit. Really bad quality of cabinets and towels were so old.

Worse Drug Hotel Ever

Worst Hotel I have stayed at. I remember a time when extended stays were top notch hotel's but over the past few year's they have reallt gone down hill. Do yourself a favor a go 2 blocks down the street to the Holiday Inn.

This hotel is infested with drug addicts, from the people checking you in to the the people in the parking lot and staying there. The rooms are super dirty, the beds are very old and make nosie everytime you get in and out of them. The bathroom tub has stains all over and the water pressure sucks. Zero hot water. Maybe warm if your lucky. They leave old soap on the counter from that has already been used, zero extra toilet paper.

I will Never stay at this hotel again. Do yourself a huge favor and spend the extra $30.00 at a different hotel
