This hotel has so much potential. It would quite possibly be one of the nicest Towneplace Suites in the country, if the owner had taken the time to think through all of the details, instead of just some. I feel that this place is ultimately a failure of an extended stay hotel. So many things were done right here: Massive guest rooms with wide open spaces, great appliances, excellent housekeeping, wall-mounted TVs leaving plenty of open table surface area, wide-opening closet doors, rubber bumpers on the door casings, weighted paper towel stand, opening windows, independent climate control, full-height mirror and coat hooks right by the door, large entry area, front desk handing out a paper with hotel info upon check-in, abundant USB charging ports, beautiful and inviting hallways, and the list goes on. The unfortunate part of this place is that it was not only substantially classed-down, but also made impractical as an extended stay hotel, by some (in my opinion) very poor decisions by the owner(s): 1.) Music was playing in all of the main areas of the hotel, including outside. For any hotel that has the audacity to assume that all of their guests want to listen to music, the decent thing to do is to play light instrumental music. This place doesn’t do that - they’re playing the average toxic, lyrical music, in all of the main areas - even outside - at all hours of the day and night. This made our experience of check-in and getting to our room stressful and unwelcome-feeling, like walking into a grocery store. It also deterred us from using the pool, or going to the front desk for any reason. A distinctly negative impact on what could otherwise be a very beautiful and classy hotel a**osphere. 2.) Televisions were turned on and playing audible content when we entered our guest room. I unplugged them so quickly, I don’t even know what it was. Ads for movies, or TV shows? Doesn’t matter. When I enter my guest room, I want a peaceful and quiet environment. Another surprising down-classing choice. 3.) No shower curtain, no shower door - just a glass partition wall that goes halfway across. This seems to be a growing trend, and I can’t imagine why. Sure, it “looks” elegant. Maybe when new guests walk in and see it, they say “oh wow”. However, the reality of living with this impractical design, day-to-day, is a bathroom floor that’s constantly wet and slimy, and bath mats that become fully saturated with water and soap every time someone takes a shower. It’s inevitable: water splashes out onto the floor and surrounding area (no matter how the shower head is angled), which means that soap and shampoo does, too. We’re 2 people, and we used 6 bath towels and a bath mat during just our first 24 hours here. Our 3-day count was 12 towels and 8 bath mats. We’ve gone week-long stays at places with normal showers, using the same 2 towels and 1 bath mat. So impractical as an extended stay hotel. Housekeeping comes every 7 days, and our floor was slimy, stic
