Disappointingly Incomplete "Kitchenette" - Spartan Stay
I recently stayed at this hotel specifically because the "kitchenette" feature was important for my needs. Unfortunately, my stay was a significant letdown.
The most frustrating aspect was the so-called kitchenette. While it included a refrigerator, stovetop, and microwave, it was completely devoid of any utensils. There were no pots, pans, plates, cups, or cutlery. Most surprisingly, there wasn't even a coffee maker or a simple water kettle to boil water. For a hotel branded as "Extended Stay," this renders the kitchenette utterly useless unless you travel with a full set of your own cookware, which defeats the entire purpose.
The accommodations were exceptionally spartan. The room was clean on a basic level but felt bare-bones and dated. The overall impression was one of a place that provides the absolute minimum required, with no effort made toward comfort or convenience.
While the staff I interacted with were polite, the fundamental shortcomings of the room's amenities overshadowed this. For the price point, I expected a functional living space, not an empty room with appliances that can't be used.
I cannot recommend this property to anyone who actually needs a kitchenette. You would be better off at a standard hotel room or look for a more fully-equipped alternative.
