Smoking Facility
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The building smelled like cigarette smoke! The bathtub and sink was dirty. The didn't not take the time to try to resolve my issues. He stated that the lobby was closing and I needed to contact Booking.com if I needed to book somewhere else. I was so dissatisfied with his attitude. I didn't stay at Extended Stay. I had to find another place to stay.

The bathroom was dirty and the sofa bed mattress was so worn out that I could feel the springs against my body, making it impossible to sleep on it.
