An emergency stay during Hurricane Helene power outage. Amazingly helpful and supportive staff and manager. They were pulling out all the stops to accommodate storm refugees and turn over rooms as fast as possible. It was nice to be able to walk to Riverbanks Zoo, and a Waffle House and 7-11 store right across the street made it easy and cheap to get outside as soon as weather permitted.
The first room they put in had bedbugs and roaches .... Then they took so day the next day to switch my room..... But the guy at the front desk was very nice of the just cleaned up and fixed it up... And keep the nice staff it would be awesome
Flies and gnats in the room. Dirty carpet. Dog feces on the ground. Smells.
Guy that checked me in and took my money was nice and friendly.

I actually enjoyed my stay , I just had like two bugs in my room not like big bugs or anything. Just typically bugs that can sneak in. It was crack in the bathroom but other than that great stay.
Check-in was pleasant. Room was supposed to be smoke free but reeked of cigarette smoke. Bed was clean and comfortable. Toilet seat was loose and falling off the toilet, a hazard and hotel room itself was acceptable for laying your head down for the night but outside of the room was dirty and unkempt.
False advertising. No breakfast included. Ever. Then on 2-26 they took away the free coffee in the lobby. Staff was a true blessing. Bed was comfortable. Definitely needs updated.
Overall average experience. I had high hopes based on other reviews, however the room was not well cleaned (sponge left on top of the mirror, food product in the kitchenette, hole through the bathroom door) and guests were shouting well into the night. Pleasantly surprised by a grab-and-go breakfast. Very close proximity to the Pearson VUE testing center, but overall would not recommend to others planning a stay to take their exams.
What made our stay good was a person. Her name is Shiela. She was the front desk person, and was super busy, but went out of her way to make our stay comfortable. She got us two chairs because there were none in the room, brought us dishes even though she was slammed with people checking in, and in short, seemed to really care about our stay (unlike other Extended Stays we have visited).
The maintenance in the room was poor (broken drawer, shelf without brace, etc.), and the cleanliness so- so (they were shorthanded that day, so perhaps that was the reason), but Sheila was amazing. Kudos to her!!!

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
None of these ratings apply except for friendliness of staff, as my reservation was cancelled before i ever showed up to the hotel. Staff was very friendly and apologetic at the hotel. I got to the property and staff advised they could not honor my reservation due to flooding. I did not have a problem with this, as i am aware that accidents occur. Hotels.com called me as i was walking into the hotel office. I missed the call because i left my phone in the car while going to check in. They also sent me an email advising that my reservation could not be accomodated. When i called hotels.com back, to inquire about my refund, i was told they can't see any such email. They offer key cash for the amount of my reservation. I asked for a refund to my credit card instead of key cash and was told it would take up to 72 hours so they could confirm with the hotel that my cancellation was legit and not my fault. I am still waiting for a response.
There were cockroaches in the room, the room was rundown. The staff tried to offer me to stay in another room, but it's clear that upper management doesn't care about the property, and they are fighting me on a full refund. Stay away from this place!!!
The room felt neglected, they had to move my room at least 3 times. First they gave me a room that was already occupied, second the fridge didn't work and they finally managed to get me a room eventually

The staff was not the best customer service representatives for any business. One of the staff members just provided someone with access to my room without verification or questions just gave them a key. I thank God nothing bad come of it but the principle of the matter. Few repairs was unfinished and no rush to complete them.
