"Overall, I had a great stay at Extended Stay America. The check-in process was smooth, and the staff were friendly, helpful, and professional. The hotel is conveniently located near the highway and several restaurants, which made getting around very easy. The only downside was the condition of my room. The bathtub floor was peeling and coming off, and there were some issues with the bathtub ceiling that definitely needs some attention. Despite these issues, the excellent staff, convenient location, and easy access to restaurants made my overall stay a good experience. I would consider staying here again and hope the room conditions are improved in the future."
