The property is in a great location. Food options were great with a Walmart across the street. Super convenient. The room was decent. It was bare minimum room however does not live up to the standards that I was accustomed with other Extended Stay America properties. I found the room to be noisy from outside traffic and slamming doors through the night. I think the hotel is fine for a single night. If staying multiple nights there are better options in the same area and they are equal to or slightly more than this location. The room reminds me of a hospital room. Make sure to bring slippers for the room.

Just don’t do it.
In the room above us it sounded like they were going from one end of the room to the other stomping around, I called the front desk and they said they would take care of it and it stopped for about 30 minutes and back to the same thing until about 12:30 am. Whoever it was decided they would wake up at 4:30 am doing the same thing all over again. They did not take care of the issue and we lost sleep trying to enjoy ourselves on vacation. You pay a refundable deposit, no big deal but are told that the deposit will stay pending and once you check out it will clear, it has fully processed and I will be calling first thing in the morning to get it resolved. There was a cockroach in the bathroom tub which was absolutely disgusting and when you check out, apparently you only hand over your key and walk out but when you get your final receipt it shows you checked out late when I’m sure surveillance cameras will show me handing my keys to the front desk more than 30 minutes prior to check out. I would never recommend staying here and if you do stay on the top floor away from everyone.

Charges for Kitchen utensils
Clean convenient. I've stayed at ESA before - this was the first one that had an additional charge for kitchen items. Luckily I'm also camping so I didn't need anything. Also, there are only 2 hard chairs in the room. No comfortable chair to sit. But good if you're on a budget.

I like the fact the room was clean but you didnt see housekeeping all weekend. For such a "new" building, the elevator is shaky & even got stuck, the bed feels like it's going to collapse, the faucet in the tub moves freely and the area around the hotel just seems so unsafe. The office staff seems friendly.

Not great
I hate that i have to say this... the room was not great! The check in staff was super nice, but... when we went to our room, the door was open, and the bed was not completely made (almost like they didnt have a blanket and forgot to come back to finish the room) so i had to go back down and let the staff know... they were apologetic and gave us a new room... the room was clean, nothing spectacular... i have a weird complaint... there was half a roll of tp for a two night stay... no extra anywhere! And as an extrended stay, there was nothing in the kitchenette! No dishes, no glasses, nothing to cook with...

This was the worst experience i have ever had I have never rented a room that did not have a coffee pot in it. The room was not clean there was sand all over the floor the was a major bug problem But the worst part is that i told them we were traveling with pets so you think that they would realize that they needed to add a pet deposit. We were out on sunday 12/25 to be locked out of our room this was the most ridiculous outrageous thing After driving for 16 plus hours you don't expect to be treated like this I would not stay here again nor would i recommend it to anyone

Upon check in I was told that the 2 bed room I paid for was unavailable and I would have to take a 1 bed with a pullout loveseat. Within an hour of that the fire alarm went off and I had to evacuate the building. The bed frame and floor were dirty both had hairs, dust and dirt all over them. I was very unsatisfied with my stay.
