I lived there for 3 year's. The people that owns it are very good people and you can feel like family. I still get a room there every so often just to visit my friends.
It's not anything fancy but the owners are very nice and sweet people and the rooms are nice and clean I would recommend this place to people it won't leave you broke
Great service I was in a bad situation and the Ds was so good to me and the lady who was housekeeping was a blessing and she needs to be recognized as a good person so gracious to us

Mostly positive except one night we were locked out of our room and no one was available in the office for much longer than the ten minutes the sign read
Dermin and his wife are fantastic and just a pleasure. If I have any concerns or complications, Dermin quickly takes me into consideration and works with me so that everyone is happy. It's an affordable rate and great friendly owners. Extended stay is by far my favorite hotel and I plan to move right back into it asap
Its a great place not to fancy where you are paying for the name but clean and you will be made to feel welcome.the owners are so nice and the house keeper Patti is one of the best people I've ever met give it a 100
This place is not as bad as some of these reviews are saying!! Some people obviously have had everything handed to them by there parents have never really Been to nor SEEN a bad hotel... it is an older building and there are some minor issues but by far is this a bad place to stay!! The owners/management are more that they also live there in the property in rooms similar to all the other rooms. If it were a bad as the reviews are saying I highly doubt they would do that. Over all for the price you cant beat it... it's a convenient location the people who have lived there for a while are some of the nicest people that will do anything to help you out they can, the man at the desk once you get to know him will help you in anyway he can! (Atvtge end of the day it Is his way of making money sobits business!)I love it there you will too if you weren't raised with a golden spoon in your mouth!!
