I stayed there for only 2 nights in June 2003, because I had a flooding event in my condo (I live only 2 miles away from the hotel). The rooms were fine, but a day after I checked out and into another hotel, I realized I had left my $20 teapot there. Well, I figured, no problem, I'll just go back to the front desk and they'll surely have it somewhere waiting for me. Well, I went there, and I was informed that no other customers had used the room since I checked out 2 days previously, and that it should be there. I walked to the room and some employee was cleaning it out at the time. For some bizarre reason she wouldn't even let me into the room to retrieve it she insisted to find it herself and closed the door on me while she looked. She opened the door after only a few seconds(definitely not enough time to check the kitchen thoroughly) and reported it wasn't there. So then I asked if there was a lost and found, and (with a very unfriendly tone) she said yes and led me to the lost and found room. Of course, she acted just as defensively there, closing the door behind her and refusing to let me in and, in the same way, rudely informed me that it was not there. I said how do you know, I didn't even give you a description of it. She said simply it was not there. Strange how a teapot would disappear from a hotel so quickly and inexplicably. I then wrote an email to Extended Stayamerica corporate about this issue. I wasn't even afforded the courtesy of a reply.

So that was my "lovely" experience at that unfortunate excuse for a hotel. I will never stay at another Extended Stayamerica or any of their affiliate hotels ever again.
