Disaster
I booked this hotel cause I have always had good experience with Extended Stays. Not this one! Where do I begin it was all so bad! We killed 2 roaches in the room, the shower was dirty and water pressure and hot water non existent, no tissues and only 1 small bar of soap provided. The beds were like sleeping on a pull out sofa with a thin mattress on springs. No lamps in room and overall it was not very clean. We had asked to change rooms and this was second one we got so first one was similar description. The lady at front desk was not very apologetic or friendly and rather had a gruff demeanor which is not good customer service. DO NOT BOOK A ROOM AND STAY HERE!

CRAPPY STAY
Well lets start from the beginning. When we arrived there was no body at front desk to check us in. We waited approximately 15 mins before the lady showed up. Got checked in and once we got inside the actual hotel hallway the place smelled like a bag of sweaty asscrack. The beds are almost like sleeping on a military cot. Very sketchy people up and down the hallways. Rooms supposed to be clean but obviously they are blind. Dirt and whatnot around the baseboards , sink drain had either facial hair or pubic hair trapped in drain. When we went to checkout the front desk was closed and locked up. Elevator was hot and sweaty, and located next to a drug rehab facility

What a dump. I had stayed in an Extended Stay many years ago during a reno. It was nice - everything included, a home away from home. This one - not so much. This was for a short stay but it included less than sleeping in my car. I think the maintenance crew was given the rest of their off because there were half-stared projects everywhere. Hot water, when you could get it, was about as hot as an hour old cup of coffee sitting out. This facility is less about the old model of long-term housing for a professionals/executives moving to the area and the needs of folks either with housing issues, health issues who have state support. Now, I don't have a problem with that at all. What I have a problem with is this being advertised as a general hotel for the public. It is not that at all. There are better places to go if you need a clean, cheap place to crash for a night or two.

Water
Everything was fine except for a few thingss. The metal bed was nice and comfortable but squeaked some when you moved. I could not get the blinds to go down at all, but I was on the 4th floor. The toilet seat would slide sideways when you sat on it. But the major problem, was the water. When I started my show the water was cold then a little warm, but went back to cold while I let it run for 20 minutes. Other than that everything was fine.

Sad. So sad.
While I did know it was possible to live with depression, I did not know someone could live inside it. I knew this wouldn't be a 5 star experience, but the pictures led me to believe that it wouldn't be a hovel. Everything about the building felt unsafe, either structurally or personally. The beds were terrible with broken wires(?) used to support the mattres. The floor inside the room was sticky and the floor in the hallway always had water on it. The refrigerator wasn't even opened for fear of what may be lurking inside. The outside of it however was dotted with multiple brown spots. Mold? Rust? I don't even think about it. The manager was nice at check in. I did not know that a license would need to be photographed for checking in, and mine being old and having wear was apparently a problem. Any time any other place (pharmacy, hotel, etc.) has had an issue they've just been able to type in the information. I don't know why Extended Stay is focused on this kind of security instead of making sure the building feels safe.

Serious issue with these facilities
Booked, and paid for hotel in advance, for my girlfriend to stay at while construction being done on kitchen. When she arrived, the desk clerk refused to give her a room. I am white, they had no problem taking my money; my girlfriend is not white and they had a problem giving her a room. The reason they gave was that they do not permit locals to book rooms at their facilities. When she was turned away, and walked back to her car, she was followed and picked up on in the parking lot. She said there were several of men hanging around the parking lot. She did not feel safe. The only motels I know of that don’t book to locals are ones with prostitution problems. Don’t know if that was the problem here, but considering the hotel is near the docks, there were men hanging around outside, and they turned away a local girl from an already booked room, if it wasn’t a racist thing, then I can’t fathom what else was their problem. Kudos to Hotels.com for making it right by re-booking my girlfriend at Embassy Suites downtown as a replacement for the Extended Stay Hotel that turned her away

Never again
I stayed at this property and it was the worst hotel I’ve been in out of 32 countries. It took 30 minutes for an attendant to show up. The lobby smelled horrible but not as bad as the room and elevator. The second night I reserved was worse. I couldn’t check in after calling ahead. I arrived at the property to no attendant. One could not be located. Several other guests were waiting and ended up leaving because the attendant could not be found. I need all my money plus some but I’ll never stay at another extended stay america nor will I allow my family or employees to stay here.
