Spent two nights here with my family and our dog. We had two rooms. The hotel is inexpensive, somewhat run down, but in a good location for what we were there for. And best of all, they do accept pets. We have stayed here before, but that was years ago, and the place is showing its age. The bed in our room was horrible. The hot water system broke the first night, but they got it repaired the next day. I'd not stay there again.

On my last visit to the Hampton Roads area I stayed at the Studio Plus for a week. The accomodations were basic and the kitchenettes were simple. The beds were amazingly uncomfortable and the sheets constantly come untucked since they use only ill-fitting flat sheets and not fitted. The comforter is straight out of the 70's and very scratchy. I suggest bringing your own topper/sleeping bag because I really couldn't tell if the sheets had been changed or not before me. I ended up sleeping on top of the sheets and comforter in my pajamas for the duration of my stay. The room will only be serviced once per week so be prepared to ask for extra toiletries from the front desk if you don't bring your own (TP, paper towels, dishwashing soap, towels, etc.).

Try and get a room on the 'office' side of the building. My room was located on the side next to the Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurant and it can get pretty noisy later at night, especially on karaoke or live-band nights, and during the weekends. On the other hand, the location is perfect for anyone visiting Newport News as it is only minutes from the airport, shopping mall, and restaurants. I would suggest booking directly with the hotel to get a more 'reasonable' rate than those offered online.

The internet is extremely slow since everyone shares the same wireless connection and even sites like Yahoo would take minutes, rather than seconds, to load.

On a positive note: The office staff was extremely helpful during my stay. Well...I almost forgot this, the cleaning staff was quite boisterous and I would hear conversations/arguments down the hallways that I really wouldn't want any children to overhear but that's the risk you take when staying at a cheaper extended-stay hotel.

Got this on Priceline for a great price and was not very excited out it. When I got there, boy was I wrong. The staff is the best. The front desk person, Karen, made the trip a short weekend to remember. The hotel has full kitchens in all unites. Only one bed, but my little girls did not mind kicking Daddy out of bed to sleep in the Lazy Boy chair.

This is a nice 3 story all interior corridor extended stay with an elevator; being an extended stay hotel, they don’t offer some of the amenities you find at traditional properties such as daily maid service and free breakfast. Smooth fast check-in. Very large room with a double bed, easy chair, couch and a desk. Full kitchen with a full size refrigerator/freezer, stove and dishwasher complete with dishes and cookware. A bar with 2 stools in the kitchen and a window opening into the bedroom area so you can sit at the bar and watch TV. Room was very clean, comfortable mattress and pillows. No hair dryer or shampoo, which is typical of many extended stays. Nice pool area and a gas grill is available for guests to use. The property is surrounded by trees and is nicely landscaped. On site laundry and exercise room. Restaurants and shopping close by. Overall, a very good stay and through Priceline I had a super rate (50% of their regular internet rate). I’m looking forward to staying here again.
