Extended Stay America Deceptive misrepresentation of exclusive member rate, false rate descriptions

Extended Stay America has engaged in deceptive practices by failing to honor its advertised “Exclusive Member Rate.” Despite booking as an Extended Perks member with valid promo codes, my folios list unrelated local businesses such as “Jenny’s Market,” “Walmart,” and “Old Chicago” instead of “Exclusive Member Rate.” Jenny’s Market is my place of employment...

Be very careful if you stay at one of the Extended Stay America Hotels with this nightmarish bed bug problem that many of their locations are apparently having. Extended Stay Hotels do have some appealing aspects to their franchise, like large refrigerators. But this potential bed bug problem needs to be taken seriously. Before you check in: ask to see the...

Extended Stay America Mixed Experiences at Sierra Suites

After exploring various reviews about Sierra Suites, it's evident that the experiences are quite mixed. While some guests have praised the friendly staff and clean rooms, others have highlighted issues such as bugs, uncleanliness, and poor customer service. It seems like Sierra Suites may have room for improvement in certain areas to ensure a consistently positive experience for all guests. If you decide to stay at Sierra Suites, it might be a good idea to set your expectations accordingly and perhaps reach out to the management in case of any concerns during your stay.

Extended Stay America ESA Suites Fort Lauderdale Davie 7550 FL-84 Davie. Fl., 33317 [protected]

Having stayed in literally thousands of hotels domestically and internationally throughout my life, this stay is one of the worst for what is rated as 3 stars. Black mold, floors peeling back, toilet needed to be flushed by removing the lid, door and cabinet deterioration, tile floor had liquid stains, handle for shower feel off, carpet filthy., bathroom rod rusted thin, tv screen vertical lines fixed, appliances deteriorating, However, the bedsheets were clean, I did not see insects and the water pressure in the shower was excellent delivering hot water. Outside the room under the stairwell was a tremendous amount of garbage and open food containers. I checked out the next morning moving to another hotel close by for the next 6 days that has a solid 3-star rating that its reputation lives up to it. Posted on the mirror in the bathroom was a Stay confident sticker with a 10-point cleaning process #10 is where the problem is because if there is a management inspection nobody should be allowed to stay in a room like #214. If in fact the management had reported this to corporate, then that is where the problem lies because of negligence. I am truly disappointed with Stay America. Over the next 3 years I will be coming to Davie for extended periods of time as I have a daughter attending NSU and it would have been nice to use this hotel as it was very close. too bad!

If you wish to talk to me Stan Bostic [protected] [protected]@gmail.com

Recommendation: Find other hotels to stay at

However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:

  • While Extended Stay America has a high level of trust, our investigation has revealed that the company's complaint resolution process is inadequate and ineffective. As a result, only 1% of 276 complaints are resolved. The support team may have poor customer service skills, lack of training, or not be well-equipped to handle customer complaints.
  • We conducted a search on social media and found several negative reviews related to Extended Stay America. These reviews may indicate issues with the company's products, services, or customer support. It is important to thoroughly research the company and its offerings before making any purchases to avoid any potential risks.

Extended Stay America Over 30 day stay — hotel refuses to refund taxes

In most states, should you stay longer than 30 days (requirements may be longer in some states), you’ll receive a “permanent resident exemption” from occupancy tax.

What this means for me: cost savings, of course. Once you commit to that 31st day, the occupancy tax for your continued stay disappears and you’ll receive a refund of the tax for your previous 30 days. Be sure to ask your hotel front desk for this. If they aren’t aware of the rule, you can do an online search for occupancy tax for long-term hotel stays in the state you’re staying.

I asked about this when making my reservation and again when I checked in. A couple weeks into my stay, I asked the General Manager (and even called the District Manager) Diana Espinosa. All I got for them was excuses and the run-around.

Claimed loss: Around $215 dollars

Desired outcome: I want the hotel lodging tax credited back to me.

Constant noise and rude management. Extended Stay America is BY FAR the worst hotel experience I've ever had. It's not even close.

Extended Stay America Absolutely horrible hotels. They all need to be shut down

This hotel is absolutely disgraceful. Rooms are to be non smoking, but they are all smoke filled and mold smelling rooms. Had 2 rooms reserved. I am currently sick from the smells from the hotel. Staff didn't seem to care, no one was wearing uniforms. Some even had house slippers on their feet. The rooms were absolutely filthy, holes, dust, dirt, pictures don't do them justice. They falsely advertise rooms on sites and they are not what they advertise. No response from staff, guest relations phone number, only open a case, but no resolution. Avoid this hotel at all costs. They will be reported to the state of Ohio health board, among other agencies since not getting any responses back from no one regarding the matter. 440 dollars for the stay. Don't bother calling corporate because they push back to general manager and the hotel, so that gets you no where. No one is taking any responsibility for these hotels.

Desired outcome: A full refund from my stay

Extended Stay America neighbor

Would like a room change. Neighbor is cursing that I am slamming my door at night. She has said defamatory things, calling me "Pig and disgusting for no reason." Then again after I came in from smoking my cigarette she threatened to call the SPCA on my cat, for what reason I don't know. i am not bothering her, just sometimes go outside at night to smoke and she complains the door is slamming and going on about nonsense that I am a "Pig" and then went on to say "You are disgusting." So I would like to be removed from this neighbor. My animal is not bothering her, for whatever reason she would like to call the SPCA. Would like to be removed from her cursing and weird behavior.

Desired outcome: Room change.Would also consider staff change, it is very unfriendly/nonserviced.I have already had to deal with staff making me clean up my own coffee off the floor and also soda that spilled on it.
