Hotels, please remember that the right staff makes a world of difference. I can overlook quite a few problems with a hotel if the staff are friendly and welcoming. I don't usually write reviews, but this was by far the worst experience I've ever had at any hotel. It was just one person behind the desk, but it only takes one person sometimes to ruin a whole stay. The guy that checked me in around 6pm on Aug 28 was super nice and helpful. I wish I could remember his name to acknowledge his great attitude. Unfortunately, the lady working behind the desk four days later on Aug 31 in the afternoon was the rudest hotel staff member I've ever spoken with. Her name tag said something like Rochelle. We took our towels down to the front desk to ask for new ones. One of the towels was dirty from where I had cleaned up some water that had spilt on the floor. The lady at the front desk said, very rudely, that the towel is stained and that we would have to pay for it. We were all a little surprised by this as we've never been told by a hotel staff member anywhere that we would have to pay for a dirty towel. And how she knew it was "stained" and not just dirty, I have no Idea. Not to mention that whatever "stained" the towel came from their floor, not the spilt water. And the tone she used was so rude. I think no one should be spoken to like that. But especially not guests at your hotel. I imagine that Extended Stay expects it's staff to meet a certain standard of courtesy and hospitality when conversing with their guests. Whatever that standard is, she was not meeting it. Anyway, I said ok, we'll pay for it. Then she said that the hotel doesn't just buy one towel at the hotel. They buy them in a pack. So we would have to pay for a pack of towels. Fifty dollars for one dirty towel. She started saying that we could try to wash it ourselves and see if it cleans up. Otherwise, we would have to pay fifty dollars. I tossed the towel on the desk and said just bill me whatever you have to. Then she said that I threw the towel at her and that she was going to check me out of the hotel right now. As she started checking us out, she said she was going to put a DNR on me. I guess that means something like "Do Not Receive" for guest that are so bad that they don't want any of their hotels to take them. I figured whatever. At this point, I wasn't planning to stay at another extended Stay anyway. So, we went up to our room and packed our stuff and took it to the car. As I walked by the desk taking stuff to the car, she yelled "Are you ready to pay, sir!" Then she said she recognized me and that I had been kicked out of another Extended stay once before. Since I've never stayed at an Extended Stay before and never been kicked out of a hotel before, I said I think you've got the wrong person and kept walking to my car. I came back to the desk and she began to tell me that I had been kicked out before and showed me a little "DNR" note on her little Ipad thing. I said I'v
