Paulina, the night manager was very rude. First, I had requested a deluxe room, she gave me a standard. After I asked her name, her tune changed. Twenty minutes after moving all our stuff up and getting comfortable she decides to give us a handicapped room instead, because it's bigger. Ok, but tub was dirty, a painting was missing, the thermostat didn't work at all, and the only the way to get the air in this room to work was to plug it in, then unplug it when it got too cold. Noticed some new units in boxes downstairs, so I asked Paulina to have someone look at it. She said no-one was there at the time. When I asked her to come up to take a look at it, she said she would. No-one ever came up to look at it, or fix/replace it. No pay-per-view. Ok, so we rent a bunch of movies to use the DVD player. After the first movie, the DVD player stops working. I call the desk, and Paulina, very nasty, says they don't have any extra. I know most of the rooms are empty because the parking lot is empty, so I ask if we can switch ours with another room's. Of course, she says no, but by then I'm fed up so I hang up on her before she can give me some lame excuse. Also, housekeeping did not clean the room once during nearly a two week stay. Overheard one of the maids say in the hall "'Blank' doesn't go through peoples' stuff." I don't know what the hell that meant, but perhaps it was good no-one ever came in.
As a designer, I was fooled, by the seemingly modern look of the rooms at Extended Stay. We move to Residence Inn Marriott, at same price, and were a bit surprised by the much better service and quality of the facilities.
