| - What a dump!
One cannot have high expectations when staying at an extended stay, the cheap rooms are ideal for drug addicts, prostitutes, and those down on their luck.
BUT,
one doesn't expect to find the drug addicts working the front desk. Everything I said, everything, had to be repeated at least twice. If I wasn't checking in with a company credit card, and under a company mandate to keep it cheap, I would have walked right then.
My "non-smoking" room had the lovely aroma of smoke from the previous tenant and mildew.
From the dust and grime buildup in the corners, nooks, and crannies, it appeared that the last time the room had a thorough cleaning was pre-9/11. Luckily I've been stuck in an extended stay before so I was armed with a large can of Lysol and a jar of disinfecting wipes.
After doing the cleaning the staff should have done, the room was tolerable
You may ask "why not complain?" The complaints in these establishments typically fall on deaf ears, move you to another crappy room, and make the rude service even worse.
