Cleanliness feedback is frequently negative, citing dirty floors, hair in bathrooms or bedding, stained towels, and occasional pests.

Exterior of hotel littered with PILES of cigarette butts- all around the entire exterior. I was on the top floor yet cigarette smoke filtered in through the (non working) fan in the bathroom. I was there for 6 nights but complained the last 2 nights, because I have asthma and couldn't breathe or sleep. Staff seemed disinterested on the whole. The only bright star employee was Sodi, at the front desk. She was welcoming; friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. She was able to provide great customer service with a smile. The Maintenance man Bob was rude to me upon my arrival and threatened to call animal control, since my dog was in my vehicle while I unloaded my belongings for my stay.cm Upon inspecting my hotel room, there were lightbulbs in the bathroom & kitchen that needed replacement. The fan in the bathroom was inoperable. Bob (maintenance) mentioned that 1/2 of the bathroom fans of the hotel are not working. The toilet also clogged the 2nd day and water overflowed. Maintence needed to use an auger to release the clog. The floors in the room were definitely not mopped before my arrival, as my socks were filthy, when I walked in the room with just socks on. I bought my own cooking opan at a nearby store, as the New Manager mentioned the hotel did not have pans to give to guests. (*Even though it is advertised). I also had to purchase my own cleaning products, dish soap, sponges and mop- so I could maintain cleanliness. Housekeeping is only done after guests stay is 7 days.**

The hotel, staff, and my room were all fantastic. My only issue was that I searched for a hotel that had an indoor swimming pool and this one came up in the search. I was disappointed to learn that the hotel USED to have a pool, but no longer. The websites should be updated.

So grimy; blood on the shower curtain & mattress cover, hair in bathtub, beds didn’t have a heavier blanket and was just two sheets. Towels were stained and discolored. Looked like homeless people were staying/living here and the smell of cooking lingered through the hallway into our room staying for hours (not pleasant smelling food either btw). If this was $100 it would be easier to accept but over $300 is crazy. This property should have a secret shop type scenario happen so management can see what’s really going on at the property. Do not recommend staying here unless it’s out of necessity.

This place is rated at two stars and boy does it show. There were scuff marks on the counters and missing chunks of leather from the chair. The AC didn’t work and I had to be moved to another room. The next room I was moved into had a television that only displayed in the color, purple and lights, which flickered continuously. The Wi-Fi brought me back to the days of dial up in terms of speed, and the sheets were thin paper. nonetheless, it cost me over $200 a night because it was October and I wanted to be near Salem. there is luckily a Walmart literally next-door that you can walk to in about a minute. everyone staying at the hotel was friendly and one desk worker was friendly while another showed extreme attitude for no reason. At one point, the card key access to my door just stopped working for no reason and we had to get new cards. Stay here if you’re desperate and you wanna be near Salem because you won’t get bedbugs, and it’s basically clean.

Not the cleaned place i’ve stayed, had some bugs in our room as well as an old soap bar sitting on top of the shower rim from previous guests. Room came with fridge, stove top, microwave, etc. Staff was helpful throughout our stay. Would recommend for a short busy weekend.

The front desk was friendly. The bed was not comfortable and the pillows were super thin. For a hotel that is for people to stay for an extended period of time, they need to invest in new, more comfortable mattresses and pillows. The chair in the room had a large rip in the bottom cushion.

Given the very high cost of rooms in the Boston area, this hotel offers an excellent value providing basic accommodations. As long as you understand this and don't expect mid-level surroundings, you'll be fine. My only complaint is that the furniture was very worn. That having been said, the bathroom had been newly renovated and the staff was very friendly.

My stay was not great. The room seemed clean enough but very rundown - the upholstery on the desk chair was mostly peeled off, the chair near the bed was covered with a poorly fitted cover that looked to be meant for a much larger chair and was also in rough condition. The towels were dingy and worn but again, they seemed clean. The pillows were flat and uncomfortable. The "blanket" was the thickness of a sheet.

Horrible experience. The hotel gave our room away because they were overbooked and we were a “late check-in.” I called before check-in to let them know we’d be later than 3pm. I was told by the manager “well the issue is that we’re over-booked, so it’s first come, first serve.” We were reassured by the manager they booked us a room at their sister-hotel a few minutes away. No problem with that, we understand things happen, we’re flexible. We show up to the original hotel just to confirm with them that they booked our room at the sister-hotel. Front desk staff called, nobody had a reservation for us. At any location. I asked to speak with the manager since she was the one who told me she booked us another room. Front desk staff stated they didn’t have an “on-call” manager. I informed him we drove 6.5 hours and made this reservation WEEKS ago, and already paid. He shrugged his shoulders and said “I don’t really know what else you can do. Call Expedia.” I called Expedia, 2 hours on the phone, and they were able to finally find us another hotel. We had to pay tolls and parking fees to reach the new hotel. Expedia paid the difference in price for the hotel room, but not the additional fees we had to endure because Extended Stay handled the situation extremely unprofessional and were unwilling to help us any further than making 2 phone calls.

I had a tub shower and the room looked beat up. I told the clerk that the room was not what I needed. He said, " I only hand out the room key cards and could not change my room. I asked to have my check in reversed because I had not taken advantage of what the place offered. H said a refine was impossible. I left and found another hotel/motel.

My stay in Saugus was good. I was in the Boston area for some personal business. The hotel was conveniently located on US 1, not too far from the Tobin Bridge and Sullivan Square to park, while visiting Boston. The bed was comfortable. At the time of year that I visited, I found that having the constant fan on was not necessary. My room had a refrigerator, microwave and an electric "hot hob". I only used the refrigerator and microwave for leftover food. The bathroom was nice and spacious. The shower worked fine, the toilet likewise. Although there was not much of a selection for breakfast, I enjoyed it. At the time I was there, they had muffins and instant oatmeal. The coffee was good. Checkout was simple, just take everything out of the room, and drop the key in the marked box. The next time I return to Boston, I will likely return to this Extended Stay hotel.

Some of the other guests were very noisy when talking late at night, the odor of marijuana in the hallways as well as my room and the barking dogs in the near my room and the rooms are quite dated. I wouldn’t stay there again because I didn’t sleep well due to the noises.

Alot of smokers standing right by the entrance doors. The furniture in the rooms were torn and tattered. If you needed utensils or plates, you would have to go to the front desk and ask for some, even though in the room you had a hot top stove, a microwave, a sink? They don’t alert you of that beforehand. The breakfast offered as a perk is a very poor offering. Oatmeal, coffee, a .25 cent mini bagged muffin. “That’s it” McDonalds 50 yards away thankfully …
