The young man running the desk is super helpful and nice. The hotel is clean but not super luxurious, I prefer that it does not have carpet as that always smells. I think they made traveling with a dog nice, this is my second time staying here and everybody has been very nice. I like the hotel and people. Very good for the price.

The staff at extended stay was great but the property, not so much. The first room that I was given looked as if someone had been sleeping in the bed, some had taken a poop in the toilet and did not flush it, and the door was already open when I made It to the room. The front desk clerk gave me another room and when I tried To gain access inside, the key card got stuck in the door. So he had to give me another room. Once I was Finally able to get inside of a room, it wasn’t too good and it wasn’t too bad. The refrigerator had rust all over it. And so did the outside of the tub. The handle to turn the water on in the bathroom sink was broken so I had To brush my teeth in the kitchen sink. The room had a very wet like smell to it. The building said no smoking but the entire hallway, lobby, and elevator smelled like cigarettes. I’ve stayed in extended stay hotels in other states and they have always been great. This was a last minute reservation with a late check in due to my air b&b not being up to par so I’m glad that they did accommodate me but I will Not be returning.
