Before we get any further, know that Extended Stay America is notorious for terrible customer service.

Extended Stay America is Known for Poor Service and Many Complaints

Check out these facts:

• From early 2019 to early 2022, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) heard 989 formal complaints from Extended Stay America customers.
• This is a huge number of complaints filed, especially when you remember that COVID-19 shut down the hospitality industry for most of 2020 and 2021.
• Compared to other hotel chains, the BBB hears about ten times more complaints from unsatisfied Extended Stay America customers.
• BBB gives them an extremely poor rating of 1 / 5.

Most of the complaints people make about Extended Stay America revolve around:

• Pricing problems, overcharges and fees
• Pests, like cockroaches or bedbugs
• Missing property or stolen goods
• Slow response time from staff
• And noise complaints

Next, let’s think about what to say when making your complaint to Extended Stay America.

What to Say when Making Extended Stay America Complaints

It’s important to remain calm, polite and professional when making hotel complaints. Even if you’re disgusted by cockroaches or bed bugs, remember that the customer service rep wasn’t personally responsible for the issue. And like that old saying goes “you’ll catch more flies with honey.”

Gather all your information, and contact Extended Stay America hotels. They’ll need to know:

• The date of your stay
• The hotel location number and the address
• The amount of money you paid
• All the details about your problem
• The name of anyone you spoke to at the property about your problems

You can also suggest a way to fix the problem. If noisy parties kept you up all night, maybe you deserve a refund. If your entire wardrobe was stolen out of the closet, maybe you need to be compensated to replace it. (Or, maybe you need to go to small claims court, and we can help with that, too.)

But remember, many complaints at Extended Stay America properties go unsolved. By the time a complaint goes to BBB, usually a consumer has attempted to resolve their situation and gotten nowhere. If you’re not getting anywhere with your Extended Stay America complaints, DoNotPay is here to help.
