The Good: Spacious room, comfortable bed, DVD player, kitchenette. Internet is only 4.99 for entire stay, not per day.

The Bad: Please note that this is one of those hotels that only supplies housecleaning once a week. Not a bad deal for short stays, but my very first impression on the way up to the room was the intense stench from the overloaded garbage cans in the stairwell. Plates/silverware are supplied, but no cooking supplies, so come prepared if you intend to cook your own food. There is no vending/ice machines. There are ice trays in the freezer but if the previous guest didn't fill them you are SOL.

The Ugly: You would think people that only had to clean once a week would do a decent job. However, there were fast food wrappers left in the room, and I noticed the next day that there were short black hairs throughout my shower (I have long blond hair). I still wasn't ready to bash the place, but......I left a note with the front desk as I left in the morning. When I returned that evening the shower was still not cleaned and the desk said they'd get right back to me. An hour later I still hadn't heard anything so I stopped by the desk on my way to dinner. The gentleman said he was the only one there and would come up soon to clean it himself. Two hours later I returned to a shower that was still dirty.

As I left for good the next morning I grabbed some coffee on my way out and saw the same religiously clad employee who took my message the previous morning, who was again lazily chilling out in the breakfast area watching TV. I bit my tongue and left...for good.


At this point I was more annoyed by the service as opposed to the dirty shower and will probably refrain from ever staying at one of these hotels again.

This is a budget hotel, but surprisingly the staff was very nice, the rooms were clean and smelled fresh. ( I have a pet peeve with smells)
There were a bunch of restaurants within walking distance.
They do serve a free bagel and gourmet coffee breakfast.
The reason I have given this hotel a 5 star rating is there is nothing to complain about my stay for the price.

This was my second time staying here. Both times I booked through Hotwire and I was rewarded with a very decent place to stay at a great price. Excellent proximity to mall. Safe area to stay if traveling alone. Clean and comfortable rooms.

Hi,

We moved from Virginia and had to stay in hotel for about a week till we find apartment. Naturally, being a family, we would select one with kitchen available. I was offered this hotel thru Extended Stay America and was told that it is one of their hotels. So, naturally, we would expect the standards of an Extended Stay America. But to our shock, the rooms were very old. The carpets were stained and the kitchen was terribly unclean. Upon, complaining, we were told that Extended Stay America had just acquired it and had not renovated it. So, we moved to Extended Stay America which is just one block across.
So, my recommendation is not to go to this hotel till you check that it is renovated.
