Reasonable price. Able to cancel, if necessary. Clean, large room.
Pros:

Clean, large room. Reasonably priced.

Cons:

Lack of signage to find hotel which is next to a large shopping center. No signs off Milwaukee Avenue what so ever.

They need to be a little more organized when it comes to collecting the pet's fees. It can't be one
Pros:

Don't be fooled, breakfast doesn't exist. The only thing that exists is coffee and cake. There's nothing else but breakfast. That word is too big for what they serve there.

Cons:

The situation is a bit unpleasant because the girl at the front desk charges pet taxes whenever she wants. I stayed for two weeks without any problems. The third week at that hotel, they charged me $30 a day for my pet. I don't think it's fair to say they didn't notify you before you stay. That's the fine print I don't like about these types of hotels.

Last-minute availability: Pet-friendly Family of 4
Pros:

What an amazing staff! They were the most obliging. Kudos to Sarah and Leo. My son graduated from RTC Navy, and his orders were changed along with his Liberty. We had to find a last minute hotel on Labor Day weekend with extended hours because we had our family pet, a German Shepherd, with us, and our original hotel was booked solid for the extra day we needed. Thank you so much!! It worked in a pinch - no frills. We stayed in and played cards around the table until it was time to say goodbye, again.

By far the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in.
Pros:

This extended stay America is by far the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. If you’re looking for a bed for one night, and nothing else, this place would be serviceable for your needs. WiFi is terrible (even with upgraded speed, wifi doesn’t reach the second floor effectively). This hotel has none of the amenities that any local hotel has. No gym, pool, breakfast (other than mini muffins and a coffee machine). Also, the staff is nice but clearly don’t care about complaints. I had several female coworkers also staying at this hotel who were harassed, and the general clientele of this hotel made several of us find other accommodations. The only benefit to this hotel is its cheaper general price for longer stays, but you get what you pay for.

Pros:

Picked location so it would have microwave/fridge, pet friendly, and breakfast. Breakfast was an oatmeal package or a nutri-grain bar. All the normal extend stay features like plates, were only available by request. We got in late so the last thing I wanted to do was hunt down a front desk person to get a fork and a cup. All bathroom soap and shampoo, also by request. When I went to the desk to get these I was given a face bar and bottle of shampoo. No body soap, no conditioner. My check in was rough as well. The staff was pleasant but I used expedia to reserve but pay at hotel. I was told no military discount bc of expedia but then they cancelled my expedia room and moved me to another one bc expedia didnt include the dog fee... I used the filters correctly and stated I would have a dog.So now I had to pay another 50 ish dollars that I would not have and they still said no military discount with her excuse that it wasn't a big discount. Lastly, the bed was terrible. It was rock hard and would tip over if you were near the edges.
