Never a fan of carpet in a room. This one was stained. Older wood paneling. Bathroom with a window to the room and blinds is just weird. Staff not very helpful when asking where downtown wax upon check in. Breakfast was good.

Extended stay was very comfortable

Staff are very professional and kind. Rooms are generally quiet. The cleaning crew does a great job. Everything you need is here. Restaurants and stores are a bit far away but walking/taxi/bus/subway are your options. I like walking so it was fine. There are some parks to exercise nearby too. Rooms/carpets are getting a little wear but overall an excellent hotel, I would stay here again.
