I arrived at 6 PM on a Sunday to find the Office dark and locked. Called the 219 phone number for the hotel. It was routed to a different area code and number. I left a voicemail, but that number is apparently not monitored by anyone. They also do not respond to messages sent to them via Expedia. Fortunately, there is another hotel next-door that had a room for me. Expedia is supposedly going to get me a refund, but they should remove this facility from their website. The clerk at the hotel next-door told me that this was not just an isolated incident. The facility is primarily an extended stay facility. That’s why the office is not stuffed all the time. But why would they accept reservations on a Sunday when their office is always closed on Sundays?

Oh, I can go on and on about how awful the room was. I booked a double queen room but was given a single king bed, as that was all that was left. Our thermostat was broken, stuck on 66 degrees. (I had to turn it off at the breaker to keep it warm enough in there). Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, was filthy. The floors were covered in dirt and grime, the carpet was sticky and soaked next to the bed, we couldnt even take our shoes off. There were cobwebs in every corner, every lamp shade, the blinds, every vent. Every surface besides the bathroom sink seemed to have some sort of grimey film on it. It was absolutely disgusting.

Great place to stay

I checked the ratings and reviews and booked my room because it was reasonably priced. I was VERY pleased with the room. It is like one of those kitchenette places but very spacious and clean. The staff was excellent!

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Upon arrival 7 pm the office was locked with a note to call a listed phone number. Received an answer only that the mailbox was full. Ran into another tenant who tried a number she was given earlier. Same result. She found another office to knock on but no answer. Shortly I received a text with my room number and access code, I assume based only on my phone number I called with earlier. This worked but if not for the help of the other person I likely would’ve left and had to try another hotel and been charged for this one as it was non refundable. The whole experience was irritating and unnerving. The room was clean but musty. Bed comfortable but not much sleep due to very loud traffic noise. No coffee or disposable cups available. Broken drawer handles. Had to take our own garbage out. For $100/night I expect a bit better. A bare bones place to sleep but service non existent (Office not open til 9 am, well after we left). Will not stay here again.

I was pleasantly surprised with the room. Although I read that a kitchen was available, I didn't expect it to be so nice and the entire room was very clean. We especially liked that all the rooms faced the courtyard and needed an access code to enter. The courtyard also offered 2 BBQ grills, and table & chairs to use for outside dining. Very nice facility. Would definitely stay there again.

Rooms very roomy - bed comfortable - great attention to germ control. Looks pretty new. Restaurants close by. Only suggestions are - lighting is pretty dim and only have a light on one side of the bed for reading. Also, spotlight on outside sign kept the room from darkening.

OK for quick overnight

We received a phone call at 5 PM the day of our arrival telling us that the lobby was closing early and that they were going to text us the door and wifi codes. The bed was not really comfortable. The road next to the hotel was very busy and we could hear the traffic noise inside the room.

Great value!

We've stayed at this place many times in the past, but haven't been there since 2019. It was very clean and the staff was helpful, but it seems a little rundown since the last time we were there. The beds could use newer mattresses and the furniture is beat-up. There are also seem to be people residing there, which is more a complaint about the state of housing in the U.S. than a complaint against the hotel. The prices are up a little, but not as much as most other hotels. Overall, I like this place and would stay again.

Check in.

Would have been nice to be able to more easily connect with someone on site for a late check in. Had trouble with getting in room. Found out where the managers room was from another person at about 9:40pm. Otherwise not sure i would have known what to do.

Not the best place to stay.

I’ve stayed at Affordable Suites many times in the past and it’s a no frills old hotel but I like the location and kitchen availability and size. However this trip, the room we got was much worse than usual. It was dusty, the lock on the door was broken, there was something hanging from the microwave that shouldn’t have been there. And the couch which you can normally sit on was extremely stained. The extra sheets were balled up on top of the shelf as if they were used. My expectations weren’t a 4 star room, but it is in a serious need of some upgrades.
