It's usually a good sign when you arrive at a hotel or motel and the parking lot is full. Such was the case at the Extended Stay America in Merrillville, IN. The person at the front desk was pleasant, considerate, and helpful. Every aspect of my room was clean and in good order. I've had some negative experiences with some Extended Stay America hotels in recent years, but this particular hotel was outstanding in every way.

Great hotel, friendly staff, extra clean, all around great stay!!!!
We will stay here every time we travel!!!!

For what this hotel is, it was all I needed. Now it's not the Hilton and it's not advertised as the Hilton. It was a great place to stay, I lived there for 3 months, had a great room, the place was safe, clean, and had a great staff, took care of all my needs, I loved it there. If I had to return back to this area to work, ESA will be my first and only choice to stay. Well worth the money. Thanks to all the staff. room #102

The accommodation was great. Basic, but perfect for what we wanted. The price was right and the location was fantastic. Would not hesitate to stay again.
