My recent two-week extended stay at Extended Stay America Loveland was largely positive, offering excellent value for a 2-star hotel experience. For those seeking cost-effective accommodations with essential amenities, ESA Loveland stands out among properties at a similar price point.||Accommodations & Amenities:|The room was clean, with a comfortable bed and fresh linens, contributing to acceptable noise levels, even on the third floor. The full kitchen, featuring a 2-burner electric cooktop, microwave, and full-size refrigerator/freezer, was a significant plus for self-catering. ||However, be aware that basic kitchenware and dinnerware are not provided in the room. I found the optional cookware and dinnerware kits, purchased at check-in for approximately $50, to be reasonably priced and convenient, ensuring I could prepare basic meals. ||It's worth noting the absence of a coffee maker in the room, which might be an unexpected omission for some guests.|As the hotel is located adjacent to Interstate 25, consider requesting a room that is opposite of the highway, to reduce noise during the evening and night hours.||Housekeeping:|My room was spotless, including the kitchen area and bathroom. The bed and pillows were comfortable and the bedding was clean and in good condition.|A housekeeper will freshen-up the room with a linen change for stays more than 14 nights.

Read moreHopes were high, but were met with utter disappointments after a 9 hour drive to this extended stay from yellowstone. We left yellowstone at noon and per Google maps our arrival time was 8 pm give or take. We were able to speak with a front disk employee about our concern given our arrival time. To which she stated it would be no problem being as how were were do to arrive at 830. She stated all we would need to do is, dial 500 from the lobby phone to reach the after hours employee on site. With the wait time being about 2 to 3 minutes being as how the employee lived on site. We felt relieved after our phone call and proceeded to our destination. Our arrival time was 835.... We quickly found the lobby phone with directions laid out on a sign directly above the phone. Attempt 1 was made and the phone would ring and then go silent to which the employee had warned us of, following the silence she stated we would be connected to the worker on site. We waited for 30 minutes on the phone to no avail 30 minutes turned to 45 and quickly into a hour. We attempted knocking on the front desk window multiple times to no avail. A hour would come to pass the time was now 930 and no response yet. Multiple guest spotted us and asked if we needed assistance, these guest would definitely be model employees, in this case however the one we were hoping to respond had yet to do so. Another 30 minutes go by the time is now 10pm. Remember we got here at 830pm and the staff already had a general idea of our arrival time. We voiced our concern about the after hour arrival and they assured it was no problem. By now its definitely a problem. With no other place to go and the room already booked we had no choice but to continue to wait. Another 30 minutes go by and nothing. We make multiple attempts to call by lobby phone and our personal phones and are left with utter silence and no replies. Another 30 minutes go by the time is now 11pm. Were both tired from the strenuous drive up here. Food we had in coolers is now met with melted ice in our trunk. Phones are low on battery with no outlets to connect too and the lobby phone remains in silence with no response on the other side. We decide to leave the phone ringing and head to the car given the fatigue from the day setting in. I guess our only choice at this time is to sleep in the car and wait till morning. We waited a total of 2 hours and 45 minutes in front of the lobby phone. The lobby camera serves as proof which i urge the employees to double check if they think im making this up. Our first impressions are far from being met with any expectations. We are currently continuing to call periodically throughout the night. But fear we will end up sleeping in our car for the night. Management will definitely be spoken to this morning being as how it is currently 10 minutes...
