Checked in about 8pm on 6/20/25 when I got to my room the room was so hot and muggy. I called front desk from the room but the phone did not work well went down to talk to the front desk person but he was not there so I called he stated that it was just because it was extremely hot and humid outside and that the room should cool once the temps dropped. I put the ac on 60 and left for a few hours when I got back the room was still extremely warm and muggy we checked and the compressor wasn’t kicking on so we grabbed our things and checked out when I talked to front seat person and told him we were checking out he had no compassion for our issue.

Starting with the positive: The young man at the front desk was so nice, very friendly. Since we arrived so late, we weren’t able to address this till the next morning, but we had no air-conditioning and it was uncomfortably hot. The helpful front desk guy moved us the next day, where we had working AC but no TV. Yes, these rooms are cheap so we had low expectations, but having a clean room, bathroom is a pretty standard expectation.

Room was supposed to be a queen suite. The bed was definitely not a queen but rather a full, the walls looked like someone splattered food or something on them, the chair had the head area completely rubbed out, there were sprays of cleaner all over the microwave, and the freezer looked like someone had brought raw meat in and let the juices bleed all over it. Was overall very gross. Would not stay here again.

Dirty!

Our room and the hallways were not clean. We lifted up the mattresses and mattress cover to check for bed bugs (which I always do at every hotel we stay at) and they were full of dirt and stains. Water did not drain from tub and the chairs were worn and aged. We will not be back.

A\C in room didn't work. Dirty bathroom floor.

We checked into our room to find the A/C was not working and we couldn't get any satellite signal on the tv. The lady at the desk was very nice and apologetic. She can to our room to see if she could fix tge issues. We ended up moving rooms. A\C was better but not great. The bathroom floor was filthy. Hair and grime had been mopped up against the baseboard and left to dry like that. We will not stay at a Suburban extended stay ever again

One of the staff members came and picked up the money for 2 days. Saturday to Monday. When I went to check out the situation later, she swore I owed money, and even yelled at me. I only had 200 dollars gave her 160 booked the reservation and 156.00$ was what I owed. Yet she put her foot in her mouth when she described the bills 5 twenty dollar bills, 1 fifty dollar bill, and a 10 dollar bill. Yet she tried to say that I owed her. No she still owes me 3 dollars. With my situation I feel she was trying to get over on me. And she was very unprofessional, and disrespectful. Other than that I feel that they are nice rooms and I'm very happy with the rest of the staff.

They front desk staff are polite. No house keeping staff were deployed. Had to leave the hotel on stay early because of a broken shower or issue the water was leaking downstairs to the other room. Front desk staff barged in the room while my wife was showering and had no clothes. We both were scared. I spent 2 and a half hours moving my property very unprepared for this move. The manager was very rude at hearing our concern for a refund because the stay was horrible. Photos of Roach catches all over the room for a roach problem. Have photos of the roach catches, we were very unsatisfied with this stay.

Management put my son on “no rent list” and did not provide a reason. The manage “Becky” whom is truly a “Karen” was disrespectful to him and a family member. It’s a shame to treat “military associates” in a way that leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

First thing pulling onto property, there were 3 people sitting by a car, right across from the entrance, with a cooler and numerous empty beer cans on the ground. Did realize these people were extended stay guests, that were working in the area and were probably just unwinding from a long work week. So, we let that slide. Walking up the stairs, to our room, the carpet was extremely stained, to the point it looked like people had repeatedly drug many bags of dark liquid up and down. You could also see where wheel marks had ground the stains in deep. Opened the door of our room and had an immediate odor or cigarette smoke and the toilet was running. My wife went to use toilet and noticed a dust/dirt pile in corner, by the tub. Also noticed there was only 1 little bottle of shampoo on counter and no conditioner or body wash. While using toilet, it started running again. Went to bedroom and there was dust/dirt under the top sheets and a huge red stain on the carpet. Living room had cigarette burns in the carpet. Couch had stains and uneven, lumpy cushions. There was not any bedding for the pullout couch. Toilet started running again. I'm sure some of this could have been remedied by contacting front desk, but we didnt stay long enough to consider that option. We left and went to another hotel. The good of our experience was, the staff at check in. Very nice and polite.
