I recently stayed at an Extended Stay America property and, regrettably, my experience was far from satisfactory. Upon entering my room, I was immediately struck by a pervasive onion odor, smell of food and the bathroom was plagued by a distinct mildew smell. The common areas were no better; both the hallways and the front lobby were filled with the unmistakable scent of marijuana, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere especially when traveling with little children. To compound these issues, the front desk attendant was notably unfriendly, which only added to the negative experience. Due to these numerous concerns, I found it impossible to extend my stay beyond a single night.
