  This hotel is excellent in that it is very new and clean. The staff was extremely accommodating to our need for a fragrance free room due to medical reasons. (However, for fragrance free needs, be aware that halls/lobby are highly scented.) The location is also great if you are visiting Mt. Vernon.

  Having stayed here several times in the past, I'm comfortable in saying that the rooms are clean and the bed comfortable. The small kitchen area is perfect for what you need if you're going to be staying over a week. The parking lot is a bit small and when they had contractors on site they filled the parking lot. But the parking lot is well lit, there was no broken glass or trash. Our only issue with this specific location was with some of their policies and customer service. But management went out of their way to contact us, listened, understood our complaints and took action. We had to accept and understand the reasons for certain policies, but once explained in an open dialog it was obvious this management team understood our concerns and fully addressed them. We seldom see such rapid management action. Highly impressed. The location is good, Plenty of local restaurants and places to pick up a few things. I would recommend this location.

  Not impressed. For some reason when a hotel also caters to long stay clients, quality isn't a priority anymore. I stayed because I wanted a suite instead of a single room, not because I was extended stay. The Internet was essentially unusable. Poor Wi-Fi wouldn't be the end of the world except there also isn't good cell service in the building. The Wi-Fi wasn't even good enough to write this review, I had to leave the hotel first. Poor internet shouldn't be a big deal but it just is. We use our phones constantly. The Wi-Fi wouldn't make wifi calls either and again poor cell service in the building also prevented calls. The Wi-Fi put us in a dead zone for 2 days. Unacceptable in 2026. The TV service was outdated. Other hotels have smart TVs where you can log into streaming services easily. No I don't want to watch reruns of B movies on the Hallmark channel on my vacation. There is also no TV guide channel so you have to just cycle through like you time traveled to the 90's. We lost power while we were there. The generators came on for a few hours before they turned off (ran out of fuel I assume). They didn't refuel the generators. Not a big deal I guess except for the fact that after the generators turned off so did the emergency lights in the stairwell. I tripped down the stairs with my arms full of luggage. The location is questionable. It's right next to a lot with several vacant businesses. Unmaintained infrastructure seemed to give off questionable vibes. The wall AC unit says it's controlled by the thermostat on the wall, however the wall thermostat was dead. There was no breakfast, which I understand because it's not that type of hotel, plus there's a kitchen in the room. Still annoying though because not everyone is extended stay, some of us just want larger accommodations because we're traveling with family. The pet fee for 2 miniature poodles was $150. Seems excessive. The people were nice at least.
