Extended Stay America – Washington, D.C. – Rockville

I didn’t choose this place, someone else did. But it’s GROSS. The hallway smell almost made me vomit. They have air freshener throughout the hallway but I don’t think an employee ever replaces them. Maybe the carpet needs to be cleaned bc there are stains all over.
I used to be a housekeeper and a supervisor of housekeeping. It seems this place doesn’t have a manager who cares. The kitchen cabinets and stove vent had food stains from previous tenants. The laminate wasn’t cleaned because it had spots of black gunk. Hole in the window curtains and pieces of cigars in the dresser drawers along with mold in the shower! The chair had some stuff dripping down it too. You can see a thick layer of dust behind the tv and on the lamps.
This place was so nasty I checked the bed to see if there were bed bugs! Luckily I found none.
I asked front desk if they could have housekeeping clean the mold from the shower (at least) and they said ‚” no you have to stay seven days before your room can be cleaned.“
Everything in this place is dirty, even the laundry room, doors and glass.
I bought my own cleaning stuff.
Clearly who runs this place has no integrity or standards of cleanliness. RUN AWAY FROM HERE!

My husband and I stayed here for a week while visiting family. Our room had a funny odor, a broken switch plate cover (exposed wires) and no smoke detector. We went back to the front desk and we were upgraded to a better room. Much nicer. Fairly comfortable and mostly clean. Staff was very accommodating. Breakfast was coffee, fruit and granola bars, so at least it was something. Quiet at night. More expensive than I like.

Bad bad bad! The staff is never on the desk. And the key is always not working. Make sure you Bring your phone with you if you need to get out of the room because the key that this hotel gives you never works

Friendly, informative front desk person, I called in when I arrived at the airport to check if they have a restaurant. They told me they have restaurant delivery menus! That’s good to know. I’m staying just overnight but I’ll definitely need to order lunch before I check out at 10am tmrw!!! Busy busy busy!
They have the same fridge as we have at home, as soon as i turned the tv on, I browsed and found Weeds on!!! Yay!
Bathroom trash can INSIDE the cabinet, man if my hubby was here he’d applaud that lol. I don’t know the pimps and hookers but the front desk girl looked like a fashion model (and I used to work as one lol).
The only thing I didn’t like is some other guest, who smelled like a homeless person… came down stairs for breakfast and didn’t like what she saw and went back upstairs in the elevator with me. I was so creeped out coz she didn’t even have shoes on!!! And stunk soooo bad. I’ll make sure my agent won’t book me at this hotel for the next biz trip! It’s a bummer coz their Arabian or whatnot coffee was sooooooooooo delicious!!! So just a fan of their coffee… that’s it. Oh and actually the room was a bit dirty. I saw hair here and there, was scared to sleep on the bed, took my chance. Didn’t get any disease or anything lol. Oh and I think they also have the water purifier thing attached to the sink… which is cool. Water tasted pretty decent. Still kinda afraid of this place tho, they have that paper attached to the door knob that states they’re not responsible for any belongings u leave at the hotel room… I think Hilton would be better…

Got a deal on this place from Priceline which classified it as a three star (!!!). It is barely a one star. The staff is nonexistent, and when there ARE to be found they’re inattentive and act very confused. We got there and the room was NOT cleaned properly. There was literally a cigarette burn in our comforter. It’s a WEIRD atmosphere as well. Lots of depressed men away from their families, just straight up living there. Also smoking is allowed and ALL the rooms smell funky. This is the strangest place I’ve ever stayed including all international hostels. Just plain gross and weird.

Homestead Studio Suites, it all sounds good, doesn’t it?
Well, do not let this name or website fool you, like it did me.
We needed a room with a kitchen and dining area for one week, while we helped to prepare for a family wedding.
This place sounded like the best. It was close to Silver Springs, where we needed to travel back and forth to each day. The rates were very reasonable, I had my kitchen and a large dining area, a living area with a pull out couch and a very large separate bedroom.
Hubby had enough space to, poof be gone or poof be there.
My job was to cook daily for the crew for lunch and to take it with me to the house. There was to be a grand BBQ the night before the wedding. The wedding was beautiful and the reception was so eloquent and in an award winning restaurant, with fabulous food. There was a celebration party at the house, afterwards, which I helped to cook for and the next morning, there was to be a Bön Voyage Brunch for all.
This was last October of 2007, that we stayed here. If you go to the website now, for this location, it screams all over the page, newly renovated rooms.
Cool! That takes care of the long cigarette burns all over the kitchen and bathroom counters and the nightstands and dressers. What takes care of the animals that are brought in and abused or left alone and howling all night or even worse left in the cars. It is a pet friendly hotel, however many of the pet owners are not friendly.
The police must be on automatic redial for this hotel, because when it is not pets, it’s pimps and prostitution! Oh they have a ring and a half going on here for drugs and prostitution.
There is nothing glorious to behold in this hotel of suites, but each time you leave, do take with you, your valuables, because the Firemen were called and we had to evacuate, more than once.
I am not familiar with the area, but it was surrounded by newly developed Industrial Parks, nice Shopping Centers and Restaurants.
