I joined my husband on a business/leisure trip in NYC. He also had some business in Bethpage, and as it happened, the Extended Stay America was right next door to the company he was visiting, so he booked it one day in advance. We only stayed the one night, but I was pleasantly surprised, given the less-than-stellar reviews of some previous posters.
We arrived after midnight and had to be buzzed in by a staff member. She was very friendly and efficient, and we were settled into our room for the night within 10 minutes.
The studio room appeared to be in a newly-added or renovated section of the hotel. The room was very clean and comfortable, and for a longer stay it would have certainly sufficed as it was roomy, light and airy, and had a tiny but efficient kitchen. The bathroom was spotless, which is always one of the first things I check for. It was also very quiet, perhaps because there were no guests in that section of the hotel. The bed was new and comfortable. Flat screen TV, couple of chairs, internet.
The desk staff was helpful and accommodating, although they did not seem very knowledgable about the area. The area itself was mostly business/industrial with the nearest shopping area about 1 1/2 miles away in Plainview.
All in all, we were quite pleased with the hotel. Although I doubt I will ever be in Bethpage again, my husband may return to the Extended Stay America hotel as business requires.
