Business traveler
Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The staff was not accustomed to working with a business traveler. This hotel largely caters to unhoused families. The police were in the lobby on a call when I arrived. They assured me that it was safe to check in. My week's stay was not terrible, but the staff was rather curt with their communications and seemed more accustomed to shutting noisy people down than to being helpful and providing the little courtesies that make business travel more agreeable. When I asked to speak with a manager, I just got the run around. An Expedia rep called and asked for a manager and also got run around. The "grab and go" breakfast was packaged muffins, cheap granola bars, or instant oatmeal and coffee. That was all. No fruit, no bagels, no juice, no water, no anything else. There were lots of families with lots of kids and lots of dogs and lots of noise.

Most hotels in the area are good and have good stuff, but this one is probably the worst. After time consuming check in, we entered the room where found dead ants in the bed. While in the kitchen area, I saw a cockroach scatter from the microwave. The bathroom was cramped. When checking for more possible bugs, can tell the place was not dusted in awhile.
Response from Hotel Management on Nov 18, 2023
Dear Marcus, Thank you for reviewing our hotel. We understand our guests have multiple hotel choices, so our mission is to provide clean, comfortable suites at an affordable price so guests will want to return. The cleanliness and room conditions you describe are unacceptable and not representative of our quality standards. Our pest control provider services the hotel regularly, and we will ensure procedures are being followed to prevent any future issues. We are grateful for your patience and hope you will give us another chance to provide you with the seamless and comfortable stay you deserve.Sincerely,Hotel Management

Skip This Hotel
This hotel is a bit off the interstate, but not to far. The staff (concierge) was kind, courteous and helpful. She is the only reason this review is not completely unfavorable. An id had to be left in order to use the luggage trolley. We booked a very large suite with two bed rooms, and a full kitchen, but there were no utensils, pots, pans or coffee pot in the room. All of these had to be requested and an id left with the desk. Then we would have had to cart them to our room and back. It was far to inconvenient and we couldn’t even eat our restaurant leftovers or make coffee, not that was complimentary coffee in the room.There were dirty towels hanging in our bathroom and the beds we hard and lumpy. The floors were filthy leaving our feet black. To top it off these was no hot breakfast. The only offerings were stale muffins, cereal bars and Luke warm, weak coffee. So, we had the added expense of another meal. We paid a premium price and all we received was a large, dirty room devoid of necessities. We will not book here again.

Buyer Beware
This location looks pretty nice from the outside. But that is as far as I got with my "stay" at Extend Stay. Be careful about booking this location through a third party. They may take your money and leave you high and dry, as they did with me. I had to make a last-minute change from a HORRIBLE hotel across town. No problem, I logged in to my app and found that there was a vacancy at Extended Stay. When I showed up, the doors were locked to the lobby. No worries, it was late when I switched hotels. I called using the hotel-provided phone outside the lobby door. An employee came out the door with his tablet and started to check me in. Instead of smooth, that transaction was miserable. I was told that my reservation did not come through in their system and that there were no vacancies even if I had booked it through Hotels.com. After 15 minutes of trying to get into my room and double checking the system, I ended up having to book another room at another hotel (The third time's the charm - the Residence Inn was an amazing stay with absolutely no problems, FWIW) When I tried to get my money back they called me a no-show to Hotels.com. I received no refund. I ended up paying for three rooms from three different hotels in Columbia, but only got to use one room. I am sure that this is a good hotel with good staff, but my experience was absolutely rotten, on top of an earlier rotten experience across town.

Staff was very friendly and helpful but properly needs to be updated. Properly is very dark and "smells". I expected at least a coffee maker in an extended stay. There was no coffee maker or dishes, utensils,etc. Properly seems to cater to month to month rentals where people bring their own supplies and "move in" rather than to travelers.
