After selling my home I found myself in the Marriott Residence Inn in San Mateo. I had heard very good things about this extended stay hotel and decided to "treat" myself to a "not very Cheap" hotel experience. They offer zero discounts..except for AAA.....no AARP! The room was a very clean studio, full kitchen...so I thought ok, FOUR THOUSAND a month might be ok, and it was, just don't let the "help" in to clean your room...I know that might be a little inconvenient in a extended stay hotel....you can let them in but LOCK UP YOUR VALUABLES....if you are lucky enough to get a lock box, about ten for a large Inn of about sixty rooms, if you can't, lug them around with you or......you will find them disappearing...as in my case, the worst part, it does no good to complain to the management, told me that they would get back to me.....well, two days...NOTHING....went to dinner, very patronizing, no follow-up......well, you get the picture...buyer beware, not a very good place to find yourself when you are homeless...on to Extended Stay America....keeping a positive outlook....happy travels.....and good luck, if you stay here.
