May 30th made reservation. Arrived to be told it was at a different location. Get to other location they send me back to the original location. That location tells me they can't help me cuz they're in the middle of an audit that would take another 20 minutes. That ended up really taking 2 hrs on top of the driving back and forth. At no time were we offered to be put in a room or even sit in the lobby out of the extreme heatwave we were having. Guest services was of no help at all except to now send me to the third location which didn't even fit our accommodations. You too. Your employees tossing me around from location to location not wanting to help me.
My dog suffered from heat exhaustion and died. And still your customer service wants to deny that e.s.a. is responsible for my dog, also a member of my family, dying due to your employee's negligence. From a more than pissed consumer who still paid to stay at your hotel only because I didn't want to further traumatize my already deathly ill dog.

Absolutely terrible experience with this hotel. I booked three rooms well in advance for a crucial business trip, only to find out—by chance—that my reservation had been mysteriously canceled. I received no notification of this, and if I hadn’t checked my bank statement, my team would have shown up in Las Vegas expecting rooms that didn’t exist.
When I contacted the hotel for an explanation, I was met with unhelpful staff who couldn’t even locate my reservation, let alone offer a solution. I’ve spent four days desperately trying to find alternative accommodations, all during a busy convention week, and the issue is still unresolved. This level of incompetence is shocking and has caused my company unnecessary stress and inconvenience. Avoid this hotel if you expect reliable service or basic professionalism.

Horrible, we stayed last week of June in Amherst Ny. My husband had bug bites all over and bugs were climbing the walls. Manager did not care, they refused to refund us or move us. Worst place we ever stayed and should be reported to health department. It didn’t deserve a star rating at all but wouldn’t publish without one. Pictures are bites, bugs and the mattress pad we slept on.

I used Booking.com in April to reserve a room at Extended Stay America in mid July. We arrived in the evening and when I said I was there to check in the idiot behind the counter just stared at me and sad no! I was astonished! I couldn’t believe it. I said I had a pre-paid reservation since April and in fact had the confirmation number. He said that didn’t matter. He had other people coming in that had reservations and they were over booked. I said then let them be the ones to be turned away because we’re here and have a confirmation for a reservation! He walked away and never came back, so we left and spent the next hour trying to find another room somewhere else. I am 75 years old and have NEVER had anything like this happen before. Finally found one several miles away at a Hilton Garden Inn, which was much better.

Property: 5200 South Quebec Street, greenwood village Colorado. I'm a 62-year-old disabled female. Melissa, the manager has been extremely rude and dismissive and with a less than caring attitude about the guest. On July 12th, the hottest day of the year and without any transportation, Melissa the property manager, decided not to extend my stay because I wrote an extremely negative review online. She told me that it was my fault because I decided to stay even though I wasn't satisfied with the room. She also said I just should have left and because I didn't please, they won't responsible for my injuries, for the filth in the room I entered and everything else that I experienced. She said that according to them it was cleaned and checked by their inspector and it passed. We just bought $300 worth of groceries that we had to leave in addition to all our cookware.
I was a quiet and extremely clean guest very respectful of the property. Can I believe this manager, Melissa, is a property manager of this hotel. Every time I've been in the office, it looks like she spends most of her time gossiping in the back with others. Friday, July 5th I checked in for a 30+ day stay and had made a prior reservation for two adults, one queen and one pull out couch. Before evening entering the room, I noticed there wasn't a pull out so they changed me to the room next door. The room had not been cleaned, extremely filthy, no microwave, most of the wood facing on the pull out drawers were missing with sharp nails and Staplesl sticking out. I mentioned this several times to the office and showed them pictures. I was told I would have to put in a work order to receive a microwave even though it states each room comes with a microwave.
I injured both of my hands on the sharp of the drawers in the kitchen, bathroom and the TV stand drawers. There was leftover food alongside the refrigerator and there was at least, a fist sized hole in the bathroom door. There were no pillowcases on the pillows, there was a large brown stain on the bedspread, the couch smell like cat urine. I spent 7 hours yesterday and over 8 hours a day cleaning and again requesting a microwave so I could eat. The filth is undescribable, the holes and marks on the wall are disgusting. The offices supposed to be open from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Saturday and I could get no help all day. Two ladies were in the back chatting and when I came in the office for a third time, one of the ladies stuck their head out of the door as if she had no time for me. Again I told her I had been hurt, that it was filthy and that I needed a microwave to eat and she said, "I got ya", yet did nothing.

The hotel is dirty and it has roaches and bedbugs. The first room I was assigned smelled like cat urine and the 2nd room smell like smoke. The carpet is filthy and sticky to the point that my shoes kept getting stuck to the floor. This caused me to trip several times. There was blood on the sheets in my niece's room. When she was moved to a different room there was blood on those sheets as well. They run out of towels daily. The rooms have broken and missing furniture pieces. I left several messages for the manager and the district manager to no avail. I allowed I would give a rating of '0' for everything, including customer service.

We are seniors, my husband, is a regular at ESA of Clearwater, because it's close to his cardiologist, he does not reside in FL, I work out of Fl, but he comes to undergo his yearly test for his heart (he has two open heart surgeries), we've been in this hotel since May and we were planning to stay till September, but couple of weeks ago, we smelled very heavy mold odor in our room, then black residues start flying around, we asked to clean and take care of the situation, so they accommodated another room to stay while cleaning it, and we agreed, (but of course), no offer for cleaning the cloths where all the residue flew, nor compensation till moving back, and we specifically asked to let us know when we can go back to our originally reserved room.
It's been couple of weeks, and my husband, every day, asks when it's going to be ready to move back, they fool around with him, and promising very soon,from the crew, Linda, Julie, Kim...while they book our room to another person, playing games with a senior couple, how unprofessional, none of us can sleep in the room, I work with a non profit animal rescue all day, and I when I come I can get any rest, I slept in my car few nights, I didn't want to go around looking for another hotel, waste my time, when they suppose to give us our room back, all this said, we even have the room above us has s surround sound speaker with very loud noise after midnights, this morning my husband goes to asking about our original room and Julie tells him, that he's not going back, and they were never going to...
By the way, all this time staying in this facility, we never asked them to clean our room, I clean it myself, never asked for nothing, I even have my dog's food "autoshipped" to our original room, now we are forced to leave and they don't even care, very unprofessional crew, never heard about this, we even pay them a night before...I like people everywhere to hear about this hotel, and the customer service, or, "customer No service" hotel, and the way they treat seniors and the handicapped...

Let’s just say that the extended stay in Raleigh, NC is by far the nastiest place. I contacted the complaint line and nothing was done. I booked my reservation with 2 double beds 2 months in advance and was told one hour before check in that the room wasn’t available. I paid the same price for one bed as I did for two doubles. Also the pull out couch/bed was disgusting! I will post pictures to prove that this place is by far a roach infested hotel and I would not recommend to anyone!

I stayed at the Bellevue & Quebec location in Denver. The room was dark and dingy. Everything was beat up - the countertops, floor, the walls, etc. The toilet wouldn’t flush, but the worst part was the bugs. Insects were crawling over my feet and bit me - there were bugs everywhere, especially the kitchen and even in the bathtub, A bug crawled out of my purse when I got to the airport! The sheets were stiff. The bugs came out on the second day when I was too busy to find another place and leaving early early the next morning. I can’t believe I spent $110 a night.

This Extended Stay was a complete nightmare!! The room was disgusting, the whole entire place was disgusting. I was nauseated the entire time that we were there. We did NOT feel safe at this hotel!!! They left a note under our door saying that they were going to do a mandatory check of the a/c in our room at 9am on Sunday, but they didn't show up until around 2pm. My son had fallen asleep, and I was trying to fall asleep.
We checked out early, and my son turned in our hotel key/cards. I just talked with a manager and because my son didn't ask to cancel our reservation, they completely refuse to refund us any money. I had the reservation from Friday, May 10th- Friday, May 17th. We are homeless and I don't have any money to buy food at all. And the jerk manager at this hotel refuses to give me any refund at all. Not only that, but he also claims that if we'd "officially" checked out on Monday morning, then we'd owe them $800 because of Texas Tech's graduation. We checked out on Monday, after the graduation. I've just emailed my lawyers about this. The corporate office is giving me the same run around.

We stayed in the Extended Stay America-Bethpage NY on 5/2/24. When we got to our room, we heard multiple dogs barking in the adjoining room. We went back to the desk to request another room and were told the hotel was sold out. As it was late and we weren't familiar with the area, we went back to the room hoping the barking would stop. We asked the man at the front desk to at least contact the people in the room to try to get the dogs to stop barking. We never heard the phone ring and no one ever visited their room. The dogs continued barking until 11:30 PM and started again the next morning before 6 PM. At this point, the dogs started fighting and one of them was shrieking like it was getting killed. I call the front desk and asked them to go to the room to stop this and check on the welfare of the dog. The woman answering the phone said ok.
After several minutes, no one came to the room or called and the fighting between the dogs was intensifying. We were pretty sure the dog owners were not in the room. We called the front desk again and advised them something needed to be done right away as we were afraid a dog was getting killed. We were told that they weren't allowed to go into the room. I told them to at least knock on the door or call the owners, or the police or something. Again, we were told okay and nothing happened. We knocked on the wall and the dogs stopped for about 5 seconds and then began fighting again. At this point we were frustrated with the lack of concern by the staff and left the hotel.
According to the Quiet Policy of the hotel, all guest are required to be quiet between the hours of 10 PM and 8 AM. This policy was being violated and the staff did nothing though we contacted them 3 times. Even worse, they showed no concern for the welfare of the dog. I reached out to Extended Stay America to advise them of the situation. I asked for a refund since the staff did nothing to enforce their quiet policy. I also asked for disciplinary action on the members of staff who did nothing to ensure the safety of the dog, and asked for an apology from the management of Extended Stay America. It's been a week and we have heard nothing. After our experience, I'm not surprised that there's been no reply. So my only recourse is to leave a review urging anyone considering staying at this hotel to find another option. This is a horrible hotel and it should be closed.

This review is specifically about the Yorba Linda Location. The stay here was awful and management was worse. I was cursed at by a manager, never received a full cookware set and lied to by the District Manager about a getting a refund for my stay. Corporate isn't interested in complaints and will brush you off to get a good review while offering nothing. I used to love this company but it turns out I was completely wrong. I've stayed with them many times but after viewing many reviews on different sites, this location is notoriously bad for service, cleanliness and customer concerns.

I would give a half star, but I cannot. I've stayed here repeatedly but this will be my last time. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I have been here, something major was wrong with the room. Garbage disposal not working, the microwave not working, the bathroom light not working, no shampoo in the bathroom, one small towel in the bathroom, water from the unit above coming through the bathroom vent like Niagara Falls, today, the TV doesn't work and apparently, no one can or will do anything about it. I can't get another room with a working TV, unless I'm willing to pay more. The rooms routinely smell bad and have not had routine maintenance in likely a decade. Yes, they're "cheap" to rent but you reach a point where it's just not worth it. This is the Extended Stay in Malvern, PA on 8 Swedesford Rd. Why stay in business, if this is the level of "quality" you are offering people? You'd be better off sleeping in your car.

I was a resident there and I was almost at my 3 months tax exempt. When you go to the receipt folio they never show your deposit. They should but they don't. The staff is always sleeping at night managers, the gm doesn't do his job. Always ask for receipt when you pay. Water pressure issue, take a lot of money for you to stay. What a dump. Know your rights. Call your bank. Call a lawyer. No deposit, no room but they can't refund the money

I am giving my stay a 2 out of 10 because the staff was really nice. When I arrived to check in, there was a man smoking marijuana 10ft from the main entrance. The room I booked was still being occupied so I was moved to another room with smaller beds, but I was told it was an upgrade. Entering my room I was SHOCKED!!!! The room was spacious but very run down. The decor was horrible. The furniture was old, chipped and absolutely disgusting. I requested a king size bed with a sofa sleeper. I am glad I was given the smaller beds, since I was not going to let my daughter sleep on the sleeper sofa after seeing how gross it was. We didn't even sit on it. My daughter and I shared a bed and my husband slept in the other. A double bed will not fit both my husband and I comfortably.
The Bathroom sink looked like it was going to fall off the wall, and it had no vanity. I had to use the filthy mirror next to the TV to get ready in the morning. I found curly body hair in the shower, so we didn't use the shower at all. The TV was filthy and kept glitching. The kitchen area was peeling the cupboards were old and the countertop was pulling away from the backsplash and wall. The fridge smelled like something died in it. I was extremely uncomfortable in this room. I checked out the mattress, it was fairly new, but the pillows were stained. Thank God I brought my own blankets and pillows. The wall colors reminded me of baby poo and pea soup. The place made my skin crawl.
The AC did work. The Laundry center was nice. No Grab and Go breakfast as promised. This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. I almost went and slept in my car. I picked this hotel because it was right next to the Embassy where my daughter's varsity team was staying and wanted to stay close since the Embassy was sold out a few weeks prior to me making 3 week advanced reservations. This Hotel needs some serious renovations. I will not be staying here again. I also mentioned to the coaches not to recommend this hotel to parents in the future.

I booked this hotel as a quick stay before my flight out of Phoenix. I supposedly got a deluxe room. The room had cabinet doors that had fallen off in the kitchen and bathroom. Carpet looked like it was burned with an iron. Hotel had a horrible odor. I had stayed at an Extended Stay in Calif. on a business trip and it too was one of the worst I have ever stayed in. The desk clerk was friendly, but I honestly will never stay at this hotel chain again.

This is kind of long so grab a beverage, relax in your favorite chair and settle in for an interesting read. I have stayed in this hotel (Extended Stay America - Corpus Christi, TX) twice: for 6 weeks from the start of Oct 2023 thru mid November 2023 and for 6 weeks starting in late November 2023 thru mid January 2024. My experience both times was HORRIBLE! My complaints range from disrespectful staff - including the manager - to terrible, old, smelly rooms. But this incident takes the grand prize for having rude and incredibly irresponsible staff - again, this includes the manager.
This started about a week ago. One evening the fire alarm went off. So I quickly grabbed what I could, finally corralled my terribly frightened dog and made my way to the stairwell (because any idiot who has ever been in a large public building knows to take the stairs v. the elevator). I made it to the first floor (my room is on the 3rd floor at the western end of the building) and stepped into the hallway. From there, I could see a thick haze that extended nearly the length of the entire hallway.
I started to make my way to the lobby and out of the building when I came upon the issue that had triggered the alarm. It was a room that was also on the west end of the hotel...right below my room. There was a hotel employee holding the door to #108 open. The room itself was full of smoke. I asked the hotel employee what was going on and he told me the the occupant of that room had made a "mistake". He said that the man in the room was cooking something on the stove top and burned it. He said everything was fine and that I could go back to my room. My ex husband was a firefighter and often shared his experiences with me so I knew not to go back to my room until the fire department had cleared the building and deemed it safe to re-enter. I waited outside until I saw the firefighters removing their gear and put it away. I asked one of them if it was safe to go back in and he said it was.
Fast forward two or three days...late in the evening the fire alarm went off AGAIN! As before, I took my dog (who was once again terribly frightened) and headed to the stairwell on the west end of the building. As soon as I got to the first floor, I could see and smell the smoke. Much to my dismay, the reason for the alarm was because of the guy in 108 - AGAIN! And again, the hotel employee was holding the door to 108 open. and AGAIN he was telling everyone that it was just a "mistake" and that we can all go back to our rooms.
That's when my frustration and annoyance had turned into a level of anger that was off the charts. So, instead of quietly making my way outside, I went to the lobby to voice my concerns. Apparently I wasn't alone. The lobby was full of people that were just as angry as I was. One lady was screaming at the hotel employee (the same one that was sending people back to their room before the situation was completely under control and before the fire department had given the okay).
The lady wanted to know why that occupant was still here and if they allowed him to stay, why didn't they remove the stove from his room so he couldn't do this again. I also wanted to know that same thing so I joined her and others and started insisting that we deserved to know what was being done about this guy. He refused to answer any questions, refused to give any of us the manager's phone number and refused (or didn't know) what the hotel policy was on a situation like this.
When the "heat" from a room full of angry people got to be too much for him, he disappeared into the back area of the front office where we couldn't see him. He apparently called the manager at that time. A little while later, he came back and said the manager told him she would come in "extra early" the following day. My anger was at a boiling point so I was demanding that she come to the hotel, see what was happening and address the situation. The employee said the manager didn't want to deal with it that night but again promised to come in "extra early" to address it. I was beyond furious but there wasn't anything more that I can do so I finally went to my room. Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep that night.
The next morning I had calmed down and got a little bit of sleep. I felt better and had calmed down. After thinking about the night before and how I had behaved and felt that I should offer an apology for some of my comments and the way I handled the situation. Right about then, the cleaning lady came to my room and told me that the hotel manager wanted to speak with me. I went downstairs with the intention of apologizing for my language and aggressive tone the night before. BUT...that didn't happen...not even close.
As soon as I walked into the lobby, she asked my name. I told her and at that point her tone completely changed. I started to walk towards the desk but only got a few steps before she started barking at me. The conversation that followed was too lengthy to recount here but here is the Cliff Notes version: Her first remark was to tell me that under no circumstances was I ever to address any of her employees or her that way I had the night before. She said that if she got even one more complaint about me, she would evict me from the hotel immediately and I would never be allowed back. She then followed that up with other baseless accusations. I tried to dispute some of her comments but she just chuckled and told me that she didn't believe anything I had said because her employee had told her something different. She then repeated her threat of conviction.
When I realized that she had no intention of even hearing me out much less doing something about, I asked her what she planned to do about the guy in 108 who had triggered the fire alarm. Her exact words were, "He is welcomed to stay as long as he wants to." I, once again, had reached a boiling point. However, as much as I hate to admit this, I currently don't have a Plan B. Extended Stay hotels around here that take dogs and don't cost a small fortune are practically non-existent. I would have to go a couple of hours away to find another one. So at the moment, she has me over a barrel.
I'm doing research to figure out what to do next. I've already contacted the Corpus Christi fire marshal and he confirmed (from a fire department perspective) that the way ESA hotel handled this situation was not the normal process of how a fire call in a public building is supposed to be handled. I've reached out to him again to get more details and to get a copy of the documents stating what the best practices are and what can happen if they are not followed.
Soooooo....I have made of list of ways that this can be handled. My main goal is to make this hotel follow proper procedures to keep their guests safe. And as tacky as this is going to sound, I want to make sure the hotel manager and her employee know that they cannot get away with threatening me. As you may have guessed by now, I'm a writer and have a way with words that can be very persuasive. By the time I'm done with this, all of Corpus Christi, the fire department, the police department, every newspaper, every news channel and ESA Corporate will be aware of this situation. If you know of any other path that I can follow, I would appreciate a response to this review.

This hotel has roaches and any rooms without, smell like bug spray. Their customer service is VERY unprofessional. Their breakfast is stale and old items. They're stingy with towels etc. We got attitude the first night just asking for wifi info. Their signs in room say 'whatever you need, just call.' They have plumbing issues that was reported but nothing done for a week. The refrigerator makes loud noise continuously. There are multiple stray cats wandering around and meowing everywhere. The bed is not very comfortable. When asked for coffeemaker (like advised on their own room brochures) more attitude. When asked about housekeeping, more attitude and no help to set that up. For over $500 per week, you would expect MUCH BETTER service and professionalism!!! This place is a hot mess

First off, I blame myself for not reading the reviews about this place. If I had, I wouldn't be wasting my time writing this one. This was by far the worst hotel I've stayed in and I've been all over the world in the last 60+ years of staying in various hotels and locations. Don't bother contacting the hotel management, they know all about their problems and do absolutely nothing except lip service responding to their poor reviews on the various social media sites and Google. Case in point...I had an interaction with Alvin the front desk manager that would be grounds for firing at any location that cared about its clients, but as I read over other reviews I see that I'm not the first person to have a problem with this guy and yet there he is still giving grief to clients and they do nothing about him.
That's just a start...the rooms are nothing like they advertise, there are no cooking or eating utensils, no paper towels, no coffee maker, the bed was broken down and sounded like you were walking on crumbled aluminum foil every time you moved or rolled over, the floor was filthy with crumbs left from the previous guests, the toilets smelled of urine, and there wasn't a plug in the bathroom sink and it would clog up when you ran water because a toothpaste cap was down inside it blocking the water from draining. Then try and get a cup of coffee or their advertised "grab and go breakfast". What a joke, stale muffins, hidden under the table and cold coffee that you had to beg to get a cup to put it in and the coffee stations was filthy every day of our stay.
We should have known better with our initial contact when checking in; they gave us a folded stapled piece of paper containing one room key card instead of the professional key packet with their logo, wi-fi information, etc, but we were tired and just wanted to get checked in and some rest. Don't stay here. I will be posting this review on every social media site I can and let everyone know that this is one lousy place to stay and needs a serious management and owner change. Shame on Extended Stay America. It doesn't say much about you or your franchise.

I wanted to sleep in and I was awoken at 8am to the cleaning crew talking trash for 30 minutes and it wounded like they were in the room with me. I checked out at 10:30. At 12:30 I received a notice from my credit card that I was charged an additional $265.00. I call the hotel and they said the room smelled like smoke so I was being fined. I do not smoke or vape or use nicotine products. I tried to explain there must be a mistake and she was very rude and basicaly called me a liar. I drove back to the hotel 4 hours later to confront the on duty person I talked to be she was gone.
I asked the front desk clerk to take me to the room and show me it smells like smoke. He did and we both agreed there was a mistake and he would leave a note for the manager. I talked the manager the next day and she basically called me a liar also, but said she would take off the charges if I did not smoke on my next stay. Again, I don't smoke. She does not have to worry about me on my next stay because I will never go back to those shady bastards again.

Don’t stay here. They act nice but if you tell them you will pay the next money that’s due when you get your paycheck they will kick veterans and special needs children out. They don’t care and extremely heartless. They even send police and make up stuff like, "Oh nobody answered. We thought you were dead" **. No you just wanted to harass us and my husband ** who has Health issues as well. We will never stay here again. Karma will bite them in the **
