The staff was overall nice but many people would hangout right in front of the entrance smoking and blocking the doors. This caused the entire area to smell like cigarettes constantly and seemed unsafe at times. Some hallways smelled like urine as well
Stayed 2 nights in May 2024
Response from Hotel Management on 9 May 2024
Dear Chikaobi, Thank you for being our guest. It is nice to know that you were pleased with the staff. However, it is also disappointing that a few expectations were not met. We regret that there were cleanliness issues in the hallways and will discuss them with our housekeeping team to review and take action. Smoking is not allowed inside the hotel premises, but we will ensure that guests do not block the main entrance, causing disturbances with the smell to non-smoking guests. Our front desk team has been instructed on this as we move ahead. Considering these rare incidents, please return. We look forward to your next stay and a better experience at our location. Sincerely,Hotel Management

I made a reservation and when I got there they said they couldn't find my reservation and when I went onto the app and asked Expedia what was going on they said my payment couldn't be verified and then the lady at extended stay she said she refused to honor my reservation at her own personal discretion and that she didn't need to tell me why.... She told me to then go make a reservation with a different motel AND THAT SHE WOULD LET HER GENERAL MNG KNOW BUT SHE DIDNT SHE MARKED ME AS A NO SHOWso I made one with the days inn where I was treated way better. But EXTENDED STAY STILL CHARGED ME FOR THE NIGHT BUT LUCKILY EXPEDIA HAS MY BACK AND HAS ESCALATED THIS ISSUE TO MANAGEMENT BECAUSE EXTENDED STAY REFUSES TO REFUND MY MONEY EVEN THO THEY REFUSED TO EVEN LET ME CHECK IN.. ITS BEEN A HEADACHE BUT THX EXPEDIA FOR HELPING ME OUT.

Great staff, lousy system!
There was a problem between hotels.com and the hotel so that I reserved a room that they didn't have! All they had was a room with 2 beds, and the hotel policy was to charge me $20 more for it! Fortunately, the excellent staff were able to waive the extra charge, but it took them a long time to do.

It was an experience lol the heat didn’t work in the room for at least 2-3 days and nights and the staff got upset the moment I kept bringing it up. The staff wouldn’t supply any extra blankets almost every night I was cold and more tired than before it just wasn’t the most clean and I just will remember never to have a friend book a reservation for me again. It was my first time traveling and I just expected to be treated better. I even had to fight for clean towels and wash cloths I just ended up buying my own across the street. I was only there for a short time before I have to come back and I’m just not happy with the service and the way I was spoken to. I even called downstairs one night to confirm my time and day for checkout because I had seen a mistake on the reservation before the internet stopped working and the lady told me the wrong time and date and just hung up on me.. I wasn’t expecting anything glamorous I grew up very poor and have worked for everything I have today and I am still fine with the simplicity of life but this just was unacceptable.
