Kudos… keep up the great work !
Pros:

Helpful staff (Jackie) very friendly and she was more than accommodating even after a few hiccups. Door malfunction, network issues resulting in computer not able to process my conf # or take payment by card the suburban studios employee stayed cool calm and collect and all the while keeping a smile on her face making light of the situation. Exhausted from long drive up from North Carolina Jackie handled me the 1st time customer of Suburban Studios like a professional. Following morning I was created by management and once again treated so plea-sent I decided to stay over for the rest of the week.

Cons:

No pool at this location as

Never had the chance to stay.
Pros:

Never got the chance to experience it. Was told that I was banned from a property I have never set foot in before

Cons:

The front desk person was unwilling to verify that my address on my license did not match that of the individual who was actually banned.

Avoid this place
Pros:

The location was great, close to restaurants and job

Cons:

The first room I was in i was eaten up with bed bugs. After the third day of waking up itching severely and seeing red bumps all over my arms I went to the front counter to tell the manager, the blonde female manager and her assistant helping her at the counter went to my room to gather my bed linens and actually saw the bed bugs on the bed sheets. At that time is when assistant actually told me that I brought the bed bugs to that room. After the manager and assistant left the room I felt more offended the more I thought about what the assistant had said to me so as I was moving my things out of that room and into another room I pulled the bed down a bit to see behind the mattress as I did I saw a build up of hair and numerous bed bugs and I took pictures with my phone. At that time I went back to the front counter to show the manager who I thought should know the condition of her rooms and to let her know how offended I was by her assistants comment she actually went off on me yelling at me at the front counter stating that she not having another conversation with me and that I could just move out. Mind you I had already paid for like 17 nights up front a she was sure to tell I wouldn't get my money back. So I walked away and went on to finish swapping rooms. After bout an hour the manager showed up at the room they had transferred me too knocked on my door to give me my remaining clothes, I took the clothes and to avoid confrontation with this lady i closed the door. At that point the manager started yelling while standing in the hall way "if you ever slam a door in my face it will be the last the you ever do"! I didn't respond. So I went on to sleep in the bed of the second room and woke up the next morning with bites all over my neck. I went to Walmart bought sheets and put on the sofa in the living area and that's where I slept the remainder of my stay.
