Extended Stay America – Appleton – Fox Cities

Nope. If your life is falling apart like a natures valley granola bar (what passes for «free breakfast» here), you may not mind the horrifyingly poor quality stay. Unfortunately my company books me in an Extended Stay once in a while and it’s hands down the worst of any hotel chain in existence. To give you an idea of the level of service at this particular location:
1) they planned a renovation of the building that occurred seemingly from all directions around me, and from 8am on throughout the entire day, every day I was there. It involved hammering, sawing, bowling?, toppling furniture, loud trucks driving around the parking lot, chemical fragrance wafting through the air vent in my bathroom. So don’t expect special care to be taken to accommodate your sleep. I asked for a room change, and they said all the rooms are like that. Really? You couldn’t plan the renovation on one side of the building and then move to the other? Jesus
2) The room smelled like musty dog’s balls (typical of any extended stay), and on some days like whatever chemicals were being used by the construction army. The ventilation is so poor the only way to get fresh air is to open the window when it’s 28 degrees F outside. the instructions above the stove remind you to open the windows for ventilation while cooking. Ya, in the middle of winter.
3) I set up to iron and just after i smear something dark on my clean white work shirt, do i notice that there is some black resin oozing out of the holes in the iron.
4) Their WiFi is not as free as you’d expect, and is run by some company off in never never land, which makes handling wifi problems a complete nightmare. to use 2 separate devices for the 10 days i was staying there, I had to pay something like 50 dollars to this company and the wifi speed was not all that. High bandwidth was like, fewer skips in Netflix playback. it sucked hard. you’ll never get video playback to work well with their free wifi.
5) No matter what you do, what you try to clip it together with, or prop against it, you will never get the curtains to close fully and blackout the room. There will always be a laser beam in the morning somehow directed solely at your eyeball, even searing through cloth you may put over your face in defense. So bring a very high quality eye mask.
6) Room service is once per week only. if you don’t want the smell of dogs balls to multiply exponentially, and if you want fresh towels more than once a week, you have to pay them extra. you will not even get housekeeping service if you are only here a few days.
7) Whatever you do, even if you don’t mind all of these other things, and you’re somehow enjoying yourself in this s***hole, do not. I repeat. do not allow the fitted sheet to come off your bed and reveal what is inside there. it is beyond repulsive. I’m not sure what kind of body fluids made the mess i found, but it was hard to explain logistically, or positionally how it looked the way it did at the very top of the bed. I didn’t dare explore further. I just tried not to think about it for the remaining two nights of my stay.
Checking out of this horror show now. I hope i can make up for lost sleep on the flight.

I really hate this place and usually rooms are just a place to sleep in so I don’t have many complaints with past hotel experiences.
The place is three stories with a broken elevator so everyone was directed to the stairs. The staff was nice enough and I have no complaints there.
The room looked nice enough with a mini kitchen, see my pictures. It looked clean with lamps on every table. The microwave and fridge was clean. The kitchen area has fake wood looking floors. There was two writing tables if one is not enough. There is a phone in the bath room. The queen bed was comfortable. There was recliner in the coroner. A flat screen tv with analog channels, a whole 23 of lo definition for a hd TV.
It was a warm day so I went in search of the ice machine on the first and second floors to have a cold drink and I couldn’t find one so I go to the front desk. I asked the front desk where the ice machine is and she informs me that the freezer has ice trays so I said are you serious because that takes hours to make ice. I had to go buy a bag of ice for the room, my first irritating problem.
I signed in to the internet to go to yahoo to catch up on the news and realized I was going to have a hard time streaming the videos because there Internet was so slow with a lot of buffer. I went to time warner cable to view watch some shows later that evening and the nice hd picture I’m use to seeing is low quality from the crapy Internet, irritating me again.
I would never book a room with extended stay America again because of how irritating my stay was.
I have stayed in many places with higher and lower price points with pleasant stays and this was my most un enjoyable stay.

No no no no no. If you want no frills and DATED then come here. The carpet is so old it had to have been around since the early 90s. I stayed here based on the review and pic on this website. What a mistake. Doesn’t even have a closet. Strangest set up and I was told «oh you are staying here mon-​thurs so there will be no house keeping if you need new towels or linens then bring your old ones up to the desk» wtf?! Totally sheets and the linens are old and wore out and scratchy. I’m so disappointed. Never again. This is more like a run down apartment.

Great place to stay. Reasonable pricing, pets easy to have here. Kitchen, laundry and simple breakfast stuff. I stay here often as I have my hypnosis office in Appleton
