| - OK, it's not the Ritz Carlton, but it doesn't come with Ritz pricing either.
The rooms are comfortable enough, come with kitchens and dishes/utensils upon request. Like all Extended Stays, housekeeping only comes once a week so don't expect turndown service. Or chocolate on your pillows.
Close enough to walk to a 7 Eleven and lots of places to shop nearby. The entrance to the 10 freeway is 100 feet away from the driveway.
I found the staff to not be overly warm, but helpful when you asked them for assistance. For the money I'd stay here again and think it's a fair value.
PROS
Cost - try looking at Priceline for the Express Deals to save a few bucks.
Location - close to Chandler Fashion center and right off the 10 Freeway
Kitchen in rooms are convenient if you don't want to eat out everyday - no it's not a Martha Stewart layout but it gets the job done.
Laundry facility onsite
Treadmill and lifycyle
Free coffee, muffins, granola bars, oatmeal, fruit for breakfast in lobby
Free WIFI. Not the fastest, but it comes with the room.
CONS
$2.00 for a load of laundry and $2.00 to dry it. The dryer I used only got my clothes 50% dry after 45 minutes. The front desk didn't have quarters so I had to air dry them the rest of the way.
Would not give me a 1:00 check out. I would understand if the place was busy, but it's empty and asked me to leave by 12:00.
Room had a stale smoky smell to it. It wasn't repulsive, but it probably could use some carpet fresh.
Light fixture cover in bathroom MIA.
