I was disappointed with my recent 4-night stay the Extended Stay America at King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. I received several misleading emails stating that the kitchens were "fully equipped." However this is not what I found. There were no pots/pans, dishes, cups, utensils, coffeemaker, or sponges to use in the kitchen. When I complained the host explained that most guests ask ahead of time for items to be provided. That was not what the ESA emails to me indicated. The host did find some items for us to borrow, but the sauce pan and skillet were battered and the non-stick cooks surfaces were delaminating. They did not look safe to use.
I have medical issues that require a close monitoring of my diet, and so I specifically wanted a kitchen so I could cook my own food. I was not happy with what I was provided.
Additionally, the room floor was dirty and grimy. The room also smelled smoky when this is supposed to be non-smoking room. The other guests were smoking outside our room in the parking lot and the smoke was getting vented into our room. The bath tub was quite worn and needed to be resurfaced. The room was also not sound proofed from the sound of children running in the hallway.
I feel that the ESA did not do a good job communicating the information about the what one needed to do to have "fully equipped kitchen." It was all rather misleading. This also seemed very unprofessional, as well.
Given these problems, the experience was not pleasant. I feel that the I would not plan on staying at Extended Stay America hotels again and I would not recommend this hotel to my friends.
