A Great Port in A Storm

An emergency stay during Hurricane Helene power outage. Amazingly helpful and supportive staff and manager. They were pulling out all the stops to accommodate storm refugees and turn over rooms as fast as possible. It was nice to be able to walk to Riverbanks Zoo, and a Waffle House and 7-11 store right across the street made it easy and cheap to get outside as soon as weather permitted.

Check-in was pleasant. Room was supposed to be smoke free but reeked of cigarette smoke. Bed was clean and comfortable. Toilet seat was loose and falling off the toilet, a hazard and hotel room itself was acceptable for laying your head down for the night but outside of the room was dirty and unkempt.

False advertising. No breakfast included. Ever. Then on 2-26 they took away the free coffee in the lobby. Staff was a true blessing. Bed was comfortable. Definitely needs updated.

I gave this an extra star because of how caring, understanding and cooperative the staff was (the morning manager, the little late night lady, the helpline woman, and the man who I think is named Kenji?). I'm so grateful I was able to receive a refund. Despite that, I had no idea what I was getting into. The "lobby" was small, dingy, and smelled wet and mildew-y. When I entered my room, the scent of homeless people hit me- I work retail and encounter the smell often. Which is strange considering they have soap and probably have laundry services... please wash yourselves yall. It was strong, I felt a horrible feeling in my gut. There were roaches running around, and a leak behind the toilet. There was a giant burn mark as big or bigger than my hand on the floor next to the bed. I felt so claustrophobic because it was just so disgusting and filthy. I barely got any sleep because of my fear of the roaches and because the window pane was COMPLETELY REMOVED and someone with knowledge of it could have come in knowing there was a woman alone! I slept with one eye open.

Overall average experience. I had high hopes based on other reviews, however the room was not well cleaned (sponge left on top of the mirror, food product in the kitchenette, hole through the bathroom door) and guests were shouting well into the night. Pleasantly surprised by a grab-and-go breakfast. Very close proximity to the Pearson VUE testing center, but overall would not recommend to others planning a stay to take their exams.

One person can make a real difference.

What made our stay good was a person. Her name is Shiela. She was the front desk person, and was super busy, but went out of her way to make our stay comfortable. She got us two chairs because there were none in the room, brought us dishes even though she was slammed with people checking in, and in short, seemed to really care about our stay (unlike other Extended Stays we have visited). The maintenance in the room was poor (broken drawer, shelf without brace, etc.), and the cleanliness so- so (they were shorthanded that day, so perhaps that was the reason), but Sheila was amazing. Kudos to her!!!

None of these ratings apply except for friendliness of staff, as my reservation was cancelled before i ever showed up to the hotel. Staff was very friendly and apologetic at the hotel. I got to the property and staff advised they could not honor my reservation due to flooding. I did not have a problem with this, as i am aware that accidents occur. Hotels.com called me as i was walking into the hotel office. I missed the call because i left my phone in the car while going to check in. They also sent me an email advising that my reservation could not be accomodated. When i called hotels.com back, to inquire about my refund, i was told they can't see any such email. They offer key cash for the amount of my reservation. I asked for a refund to my credit card instead of key cash and was told it would take up to 72 hours so they could confirm with the hotel that my cancellation was legit and not my fault. I am still waiting for a response.
