won't stay again
I like to stay at hotels with a kitchen so Extended Stay usually is a good option. Unfortunately, this particular Ext Stay is unacceptable for almost any traveler expecting a safe, quiet, clean, comfortable hotel. First, I did not feel safe at the hotel. Typically, there are a number of guys loitering around the parking lot with no shirts, smoking, talking loudly, swearing, etc. Next, I have been awoken at 11:30pm with a drunk guy banging on my door. He eventually went to the next room where he banged on the door and jiggled the door handle for a good minute until another of his buddies opened the door. And it just happened again as I am writing this. He's now banging on the next door again. I've NEVER had this happen at any hotel ever. On two other occasions, perhaps the same guy hung outside my room at 3:30am with his buddies talking loudly. Then there was the 5:00am banging on the door, too. Totally unacceptable. As for cleanliness, again, this place falls way short. I've killed a spiders on the bed, after it crawled across my head, and a large ant on the floor. After the one visit by the cleaning staff, the table and kitchen surfaces had not even been wiped down. With what I have observed here, I am concerned about touching almost anything in the room. Finally, comfort. The mattress is not comfortable, the box spring is dirty and torn up, and the pillows are tiny. Between the noise outside, and the miserable bed, it is tough to sleep in this place . Also, the air conditioning, which works and is a must, is very loud (although it does help drown out the shouting and talking outside my room.) One other odd thing is that most of the outlets will not hold a plug. They are too loose. Never experienced that. Luckily two of them do work so I can charge my phone and computer.
On the plus side, there is a decent flatscreen TV and good number of channels including showtime. Shower is good, too. Front desk staff was helpful on my 3 visits there, but only Mina was friendly. Low price. $43/nt. Very convenient location for what I needed. Easy access to I10.
The pluses don't nearly make up for the minuses though, and I'd easily rank this in the bottom 3 hotels I've ever stayed in. I suggest you avoid it.
