Extended Stay America Suites - Minneapolis - Airport - Mendota Heights

Its a bed real close to the airport. Thats the draw. Room kinda stanky, bed sheets and blankets were stained, they make you take your own trash out(signs everywhere threatening a fine if you don't), moldy bathroom ceiling, towels looked pre-used and folded again (definite booger on the facecloth), frequent drug use outside the lobby and im pretty sure i heard someone beating on their spouse in the room across, was surprised i didnt find any bugs but reading other reviews I'm sure i only missed them by a few weeks. Front desk lady was nice tho. Basic room, bed and shower. No coffee maker provided but you can rent one. This place strikes me as a hotel that caters to long term welfare stays and not so much travelers with families. Probably just going to pay for airport parking and sleep in my car next time.

None of the usb ports in the room worked, no shampoo, conditioner, etc. Very bare bones room. Fine for a night required in the area for last minute flight delays.

We booked this hotel very late, but it let me complete the booking process. We drive an extra 15 miles to get there only to be told that the night audit had already started and he couldn't check us in, I would be refunded what I was charged. Obviously upset I left to the parking lot, then went back in and he said audit only takes about an hour and he could check us in after that. But since it would be considered an early check in they would charge me $10 for every hour before normal check-in time, mind you this was at 2am. Would not recommend this place if your running late or anything like that I can't say anything about the building because I never made it in.

The staff was very nice. The room had an old cigarette smell that carried throughout the room. The moment you open the door, you could smell it. The smell was in the sheets and everything. There were glitter and pink stains on the floor and bathroom counter. The toilet had some black stains on it. The shower was very clean though. We were too tired from traveling so we just slept but we will not be booking here again.
