This was our first stay at an Extended Stay, and we learned a lot about the differences.
The room was clean and modern. It had blinds, but no curtains, so the hotel sign kept our room lit at night. The bed was comfortable. There was no coffee machine. The kitchen is nice with appliances but not equipped with any dishes, glasses, silverware, pans, dish cloths, etc., you can purchase them from the hotel, at premium prices, but we went to dollar tree instead for what we needed. The microwave worked fine. We appreciated the full size refrigerator. The bathroom was nice and had toilet paper, towels, and Kleenex. There are no shampoos or other toiletries. The shower tub and sink were quite new and nice. The ice machine in the hotel was broken. The thermostat worked well and kept the room very comfortable.
