We found the ExtendedStay hotel to be quite nice for our 9 day trip to the Seattle/Tacoma area. It's location is great; just off the interstate near a main intersection. Food(large grocery is just across the street), shopping, and entertainment establishments are plentiful. The hotel is quiet and well lit; we felt very safe staying here. The kitchenette was clean; the dishes, silverware, pot and skillet were spotless. It is true that there is no free daily housekeeping service (although that may be arranged for a small fee). For our needs, the towel exchange is all that is necessary. We don't need all the towels replaced every day anyway. Hairdryers Are available at the front desk, just ask. Soap and dishwashing liquid is available as well. As for shampoo and conditioner, I always travel with my own anyway. The laundry area is bright and clean(soap powder and dryer sheets available); this feature alone helped me to lug a lot less through the airport. We found the associates pleasant and helpful, providing us with a stress free stay. There is wifi available for a one time (very small) fee (good for the entire length of stay). My only regret was that the beds were not as comfortable as I would have liked. Quite hard for my taste, but I did get used to it. All in all, a bargain for a place to sleep in a great jumping off area for sightseeing.
