Reviews
The hotel reviews collectively express extreme dissatisfaction with the cleanliness, safety, and comfort of the rooms. Many guests felt uncomfortable and unsafe during their stay due to the presence of bugs, smoking, and suspicious activity. Additionally, there were numerous issues with staff availability and responsiveness, as well as difficulties in obtaining refunds.
- Office was easy to work with and put disabled guest in a first floor room in a quieter area
- Front desk was amazing and helpful
- Dirty and smelly rooms with visible mold, bugs, and stains
- Unsafe environment with suspicious activity and lack of security

Front desk is nice and helpful. Free Wi-Fi is slow. Nights are quiet. Location was great for my job during the stay. Room was clean but not fully cleaned: - Spiderweb in corners - Tub not clean and full of long hair - Scent of smoke was strong - Updating the furniture is not a bad idea - Outside could be more clean and welcoming

I checked in and after 30 min had to leave and find another place to stay, the bad smell in the room was terrible, the front desk tried to help me with a spray and it didn't work, i bought one spray didn't work either, not even a plastic cup in the room, dirty in a ver very bad condition, i can't understand why this place still opened and having guets coming over, this is unsane for expedia and for extended stay chain hotels, i'll appreaciate a reasonable answer to this maater

The woman at the desk was so kind and lovely, she did explain the place is in the middle of an upgrade and had changed owners. The room was dark and dinghy, it absolutely reeked of cigarette smoke. When I left my clothes were still smelling of cigarettes until I washed everything. I was only in the room a short time. Cigarette butts absolutely everywhere outside. Everything looks old and tattered. Cost over $100 a night which is unbelievable for the age and environment of the room. It needs a lot of work to upgrade the space, not just a larger tv.

I would not recommend this place unless you are on a really tight budget. The only nice thing about it was the kind person who checked us in. The room was dingy and smelled faintly of smoke. The smoke alarm was chirping and I had to borrow tools to disconnect it so we could sleep. There was constant noise throughout the night from other guests, and the whole place smelled like weed.

This was the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at, it was dirty. The people there were shady anybody booking this hotel should not go there. I decided to walk places and I was in fear with the people that lived there on there do not go to this hotel room. and they charged $100 deposit because it was a non-smoking room which I haven’t gotten back yet. The room was disgusting dirty carpet disgusting bathroom no ice no breakfast even though-they promise it on the website do not book a room here it will be disappointed. I should’ve taken pictures, but I didn’t, but the room was disgusting.

I stayed here for a school weekend trip, and this was one of the most uncomfortable and unsanitary hotel experiences I’ve ever had. I didn’t feel safe walking from my car to my room at night, and if it hadn’t been a football weekend with Parents’ Week (meaning everything else was booked), I would have left immediately. The room was filthy — the walls were stained, greasy, and clearly hadn’t been cleaned or painted in years. The microwave was rusted and burnt inside, with scorch marks that made it look unsafe to use. The fridge and surrounding area had visible dirt, sticky residue, and dust buildup. Even the bathroom counter had hair and debris in the corners. The overall condition of the room showed major neglect — peeling paint, grime buildup, and a lingering odor that made it hard to relax. It’s unacceptable for a hotel to present rooms like this, especially when charging standard weekend rates. I don’t typically leave negative reviews, but I feel it’s important to warn others. I would not recommend staying here under any circumstances. Management needs to seriously deep-clean, replace damaged appliances, and improve the overall safety and maintenance of this property.

The front desk guy was nice. The floors were dirty and the sink and bathroom were overall very dingy. The smoke detector started beeping low battery about 2 hours into my stay. I went to the front to ask for help and they said they could not fix it that night. There were no batteries to replace it and no tools to remove the cage over it. I was offered another room but at that point I was ready to leave. I had to get a different hotel. I was told the manager could provide me with a refund for my stay when they returned to the property after the weekend.

I’ve stayed in some dirty places but there was dirt on the walls and electrical wires hanging out of the ceiling. The bathroom was so stained and the curtain didn’t even cover the tub. It appears the rod came off and the repair job was just a big glop of spackle. The smell was of mold. The ironing board was even filthy dirty. The door hand chunks missing from the bottom. The staff at the front desk acted inconvenienced and not friendly. The elevator worked that was the only plus. The management can do better at cleaning and maintaining these rooms.

The pictures are probably from when this place was originally established because everything was VERY USED. In addition to the look itself the room was not properly cared for/cleaned by housekeeping. They did not complete the process!!!! There were crumbs on the floor (literally a whole section that couldn’t be missed by a blind person) and they didn’t even complete making the bed. So the gentleman that checked me in came to the room and completed the making of the bed and vacuumed. What he could not do, without a magic wand, was make the room look like the pictures or get the odd smell from the room and curtains (LISTEN it wasn’t my idea to smell them in the first place but when I went to close them the smell coming off of them was inevitable). I’ve booked extended stays before and have found some beautiful places (for less than I spent here) so I figured why not!?!? WellI’m got the WHY NOT on this one and I would NEVER book with or recommended this facility again!!!!!!! But the gentleman in the office deserves a raise because he was doing his job and others and was the BEST part of this experience. If I had the time to focus on booking elsewhere I would have and wouldn’t have bothered with a refund!!!!

I had 2 rooms. They were not side by side. They was on different floors, different sides of the building. The first room was dirty, when we got there. Air conditioning wasn't working. I asked someone to call me left my name and number several times for the manager didn't get no kind of response. I wanted a refund. Cause we didn't use but one room. No one still hasn't called me back.

The room had a funny smell. The vinyl flooring had wet footprints throughout when i checked in, and when i got my own paper towels to dry the wet spots it picked up a lot of dirt. I ended up sleeping in the hospital room with my companion rather than sleep in the motel. I gave up my room early. A huge disappointment. No stars.

Dirtiest room I ever stayed in. The soles of my kid’s white socks were black from the hardwood floor after 15 minutes in the room. Bugs live and dead were prevalent. Went to complain at the front desk but they had closed for the night at 10:00. Bathroom sink and tub were severely chipped, cracked, and discolored. Wish I could upload some pictures, but maybe it’s better that I can’t.

There was not any staff present. We had to track down a manager via multiple calls. Upon checking the room smelled and was dirty. She booked another hotel and didn’t stay at the property. We were charged for 2 nights and so far orbitz and extended stay have not helped to get me a refund. Shame on orbitz for making me deal directly with extended stay. Shame on extended stay for making this process so difficult. I would stay away from both of these companies.

I got off the road around 12am. Stopped to get food and to stretch my legs. Arrived at the room for check in to get some rest and there was no one on site to get me into my room. Argued with Expedia customer service and couldn’t get a refund nor a good nights rest. The absolute worst!

I.E TELLING MY DAUGHTER SHE "KNOWS BETTER THAN TO BRING HER CASH TO THE OFFICE AND HER MOTHER SHOULD BE ASHAMED" ...(daughter is 15 btw)... Even telling my 9 year old he was aggravating her as he sat on his father's truck playing with matchbox cars! That's just a couple examples but as far as the stay,if you don't ask for housekeeping, she'll not give you a second chance to get clean towels and honestly the ONLY good thing about this place was the housekeeping staff as they were very kind and apologetic for their boss as they shouldn't have been . Needless to say, I would and won't EVER recommend this hole to anyone!

The place was old and in disrepair. Our room stunk of cigarette smoke, the bed even made our P.J.s smell like we're smokers. The carpet was old, worn, stained, disgusting. The appearance of bedding and towels appeared clean, But noisy Freeway and neighbors voice came through until after midnight.

This place is run down, creepy looking people hanging out in the halls and smoking weed. Kitchen and bathroom sink had stains, kitchen cabinet was broken, the toilet was hard to flush and the room smelled of old smoke. I am a non smoker and could not tolerate the smell. We came to the area for an full scholarship interview my daughter had the next day. She refused to stay there. We literally walked in and walked back out. I told the front desk person about the conditions, he didn't offer to give my money back only said he would tell the manager. I spent more money at another hotel for a great clean, smoke free, craziless rest and my daughter was able to sleep well and perfrom great on her interview. Avoid this place by any means necessary.

This place is run down, creepy looking people hanging out in the halls and smoking weed. Kitchen and bathroom sink had stains, kitchen cabinet was broken, the toilet was hard to flush and the room smelled of old smoke. I am a non smoker and could not tolerate the smell.

It was a perfectly acceptable level of cleanliness, safety and convenience for the price (one of the lowest in the area). I did not (and no one should) expect more than that.

It was very filthy, Lots of noise, I forget they were doing some movingbif debris I guess I seen big wheel barrels with Trash on them black bags, My room was next to an irate obnoxious very drunk and drugged up man who was cursing the whole time. Cops had to be called because I reported him to the office I'm still waiting on my refund which was very necessary, for paid $170.22 and it wasn't worth $1.70. I'd never do that place again, Jesus

I didn't like that front desk clerk said my room number of out loud for all to hear. I asked to assign me another room. She said she didn't know how to explain where room was located without saying room number. She didn't say where elevators, laundry, wifi login, nothing. Very poor customer service.

It was tough to figure out where lobby is although there is a clear sign of lobby at around 11.30 pm check-in. Lobby was locked with lights off. Have to call in to get in. Coming to the room, booked a non-smoking. Room smelled terrible with smoking smell all over the place. Floor is not cleaned with dust/debris all over. Toilet flush didn't work and shower is insanely slow. Bed at least seemed clean and plenty of linens. No shampoo except bath soap.

The desk chair on roller wheels rolled out from under me on the concrete floor. I took a severe fall landing on the back of my head. I skinned my left forearm which bled all night. I am seeking medical attention this morning. I could get no rest because of kids running and playing outside my room.

Words cannot express how horrible these rooms are... Checked in to my room and promptly checked out and told the service counter that I was not going to stay at their establishment. They obviously have people making this a permanent residence. I was approached by a young man who asked if I had anything for sale because his contacted hadn't arrived and he said no one would stay there if they weren't selling. Make of that what you will. I was told by the service desk to contact management in the morning to get a refund. The manager refused to provide the refund and Expedia gave me a $20 voucher (gee thanks) because I couldn't get a refund.

The exterior of the property has garbage and other debris stains throughout the entire grounds and even though it is is a very good geographical part of town - I was concerned about my safety while being there. The Manager (Monica, I believe was her name) was incredibly pleasant and even personally delivered bath towels up to my room at 9 pm when it dawned on her that they were not done by the traditional housekeeping staff. All of the other staff I encountered bordered on the side of rude and most often did not even look me in the eye when speaking to me. I've stayed at other Extended Stay properties and have been very pleased - so I believe this location is a "one off" and just needs new support staff and a facelift.

Place was completely nasty. Holes in the walls. Sidewalks looks like they havent been pressure wash since it was built. Needs new furniture all the furniture was damage. No globe on light fixtures. Overall one of the nastiest places i have ever been to. This location is no comparison with the others.

My stay at Extended Stay America on Tower Blvd in Durham NC was an experience.. The room was clean to my expectations except the microwave.. It smelled like the guest beforehand had left food n the microwave that had turned bad & reeked a foul odor.. On the 1st day, the hostess said they would send someone to come clean it.. No one came, 2nd day, same thing nobody came, 3rd day, same thing but now was offered to go to another room.. Still nothing.. I ended up purchasing some Comet cleaner & scrubbing pads.. After the cleaning, my stay was quite pleasant.. I would book again if I get a compensation package 4 cleaning the microwave..

To add insult to injury, we couldn't sleep at night! Our next-door resident was yelling at someone, mouthing obscenities and threatening to call the police until the odd hours in the morning. We left a day early and booked into another place. At fifty dollars per night, it wasn't even that cheap! Definitely not worth the money or aggravation. Stay away.

Pretty sure the trash in the complex had not been taken out for over a week as well as in our room. There was a dirty diaper in our room that wasn’t removed before we got there. When I asked for a shower curtain for our room I was told that the lady in charge of this was on a break.

The room smelled strongly of incense. There was no trashcan. The smoke detector was laying on the floor. Overall, the hotel in general had bags of trash piled on all staircases and in various areas. Dumpster area was overflowing. Do not recommend it.

The toliet was overflowing and flooded the bathroom. Had to wait for the night manager to come on duty to get toilet repaired. The tub was dirty and the shower curtain was soiled with dirt, mold and mildew. The website list rooms include a fully stocked kitchen. It was not. The only redeeming factor was the staff was courteous and respectful.

It was a very dirty hotel room. The people next door had a very loud dog and the people upstairs liked to stomp and scream. The hotel was dingy with piles of garbage in the stairwells. The gentleman in the lobby was totally unprofessional and the key cards had to be re scanned everyday.

The room was rundown, and smelled of stale smoke despite the no smoking sign. There was a stove in the kitchenette but no pot, pan, plate, or dish - not even a disposable cup - so it's a mystery how one would use it. The elevator was broken, making my third floor room a challenge with luggage. Trash overflowed the stairways. No hairdryer. Ugh!

The people in guest service was nice. I did not like that trash was kept on the stairwell for 48 hours and it was over flowing. The room had a weird odor to it as if the carpet does not get a regular shampooing. The room was clean enough. There should be some order to where temporary guest stay vs. those who stay extended amounts of time.

I hated it. Horrible. The area all around the hotel is filled with vagrants and loud people (lots of cigarette smoke and vulgar language). The room is so basic it reminds me of the hotel where Dr. King was shot (like going back in time). Room had no hangers, only one towel (wash cloth), no extra roll of toilet paper, and felt very unsafe. Late check in was difficult because the lobby door was locked (fortunately he let me in). The front desk person was nice, even gave me the missing towels, but had no responsibility for the many problems.
