“Ignorant and Dishonest Manager, No Hot Water, Laundry machines busted,”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 March 2011
3
people found this review helpful

I checked into this hotel and asked the cheapest long term rate. They told me incorrect info. They gave me a rate that was 40 per night, and a king bed room, and the rate was, they said, monthly. This was not the best rate as given to the long term residents are here and told me their rates are 750 per month. Our shower was luke warm, too, and our a/c and heat didn't kick in right. I asked for pots that were not burnt. The washing machines aren't all working downstairs either. The side door to the hotel doesn't lock right and homeless people have been found sleeping in the hallways. Crystal the manager said I complain too much. A woman in room 313 told me she got here 6 mths ago and pays 750 with her boyfriend.. I asked for a long term rate, and suddenly the manger Crystal Clemmons had a room available..she said she would do me a favor and give me a long term resident rate but I had to move out of my king bed room which wasn't a room they extended for long term rates (which they didn't tell me initially and I was paying 1200 a month instead of 750 as the others were paying). I moved from Room 246 to Room 228, with a queen bed. My young daughter was living with me so it was a smaller room and more inconvenient but the rate being cheaper was worth the difference of price. Then the upstairs resident named Tory started stomping around and making noise from above, our ceiling thumping at past midnight and four a.m. for weeks. I complained of course and crystal said call the cops. I called her DM instead and told him she behaved inappropriately, that bringing the cops to the hotel is bad for the residents and unprofessional of her not to deal with these things, as a manager. She also speaks like ghetto trash, she has no idea how to effectively deal with problems, and is very uneducated.She makes alot of excuses and tries to talk her way out of dealing effectively with the situations. For instance she kept telling her night staff to tell me that all they can do is "monitor the noise". She never did anything about the noise, but she told me I can move my room and the staff would help us. They had room xxx available on the smoking floor which I took since it is a corner room. I told her I expect to be here for months, till the summer maybe. She understood this. Then, together with my 12 yr old daughter and excuses from the staff that noone was around to help us move, my daughter and I moved ourselves to room xxx A week later when time to pay the month came around Kristina the desk clerk called me (today March 9) and said my rate is going back to 40 a night. I explained to her this is impossible. She said that they didn't have any more long term resident rates and that "they told me that". I said I already have the rate, proof is that I was moved out of my $40 king room rate, moved to a "long term rate" at 798 a month (which includes tax but is anticipated at being dropped after 90 days as per the infor given by the Walmart employee in Room xxx) and that I recently moved again to room 300, a queen bed and made it quite clear we were long term residents now, as was clear to crystal. Kristina and Megan told me to take it up wthe manager crystal. It was 3 pm when they called me about this and since I have full days and cannot take it up the next day when I anticipated on paying, I told them to have Krystal call me immediatley. I also left three messages for Bryon Brinson, district manager. I called the hotel about six times to make sure we discuss this immediately, and before five pm. When nobody called me back I called the hotel and told them how crucial it is we speak about his before tomoro, and that they will be rendering my daughter and I homeless if they change the rate. I told the front desk I won't be at the hotel till late tonight and for Crystal Clemmons to call me on my cell phone, which I emphasized cell phone, at 7 pm or after, as i was in a meeting till then. Clemmons didn't call me on my cell. When I got back to the room at 10 pm there was a call from Clemmons on the room phone and she said she wouldn't be reachable until Friday. So, what does that mean for paying on time tomorrow if she isn't available tomorrow to go over this sham she is creating for us? Was she being dismissive or ignorant? I believe, both, as I've experienced this from her during most of my stay. In addition, did I tell you a homeless person was found in the hallway..because of the unlocked side door? I wrote and signed a complaint about that the first few days i was here, stating the obvious safety issue, and it's been a month an a half already and nothing has been done. Ultimately I believe Crystal Clemmons the manager due to her ignorance and lying to us will render us homeless. We will see...I've already contacted Consumer Affairs and will be contacted by an attorney. I believe we may have a lawsuit against them if they do demand to change the terms for me and my 12 year old daughter and not the insane person in Room xxx above us who was so noisy and stomped on the floor and made us change our room, nor for any of the long term residents here. I find Crystal Clemmons discriminating against me as a single mother with a child living here, and there are more discriminations we will address with an attorney if it comes down to us being rendered homeless tomoro. I wonder if they will throw our stuff into the street? I do know that I have already told them I have the money to pay for this month, but Kristina keeps saying "you have to talk to the manager you have to talk to the manager you have to..." Broken record and brain dead.

“Nasty Horrible Service...got some of our money back”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 August 2010

The beds were lumpy...there is no one available to talk to at the front desk after 11, the toilet overflowed the first time we flushed it. The hallways smell like dirty pets. DO NOT stay here if you have sensitivity to pets or to cigarette smoke. Our friends were given a non smoking room and their vent had cigarette smoke coming into it from a smoking room above it. They would not move them to another room. NASTY! NASTY! BEWARE of booking a 2 STAR hotel in Wilmington on PRICELINE this is how I ended up in this dump and almost ruined my wife's birthday!

“The room was real dirty.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 February 2010

Management was nice but the room was dirty and when I checked in it was late and I didn't want to be a bother. What put the icing on the cake was when my husband got his underwear wet when he flushed the toilet. When he went to put them up thats when he found out the toilet was leaking.

“spring golf trip”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2008

people found this review helpful

I have stayed here twice, in 2006 & 2008. Golfing trip with the guys. Rooms are all renovated, clean, equiped with fridge, microwave etc. Walking distance to a number of restaurants. Staff are friendly. Towel & sheet service is once weekly if staying 7 days or more, but they are happy to give you fresh linens at the desk at any time. Beware of long distance phone charges, very $$$$.

Stayed March 2008

“Great value at the Extended Stay America in Wilmington, NC”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 November 2006
2
people found this review helpful

My husband and I journeyed to Wilmington, NC this past weekend for a romantic getaway. I did a lot of research online trying to find a place to stay that was economical, but still nice. I am very picky about hotel rooms, especially where cleanliness is concerned.

I was very impressed with the Extended Stay America. The rooms have recently been renovated and even still smelled new. Everything was very neat, clean, and attractive. I was delighted with the value of the room. Of all the rooms in the Wilmington area, especially Market Street, Extended Stay was one of the cheaper ones, but I am very glad we chose it. We could have spent $50+ and had a less comfortable room.

I think Extended Stay would be a wonderful option for UNC-W parents visiting their kids.

If you are looking for a clean, comfortable room with the added benefit of having a full size fridge, a stove, microwave, and coffeemaker, look no further.

  • Liked — Great value for the money
  • Disliked — Type of card entry for room doors and exterior doors after hours.
  • Tips/Secrets — Extended Stay allows 1 pet, of any size, for an addition $25 per night
