“Free breakfast” was a brown bag with crackers and a tasty cake. Better than nothing but like c’mon man. Also place was under construction and I’m not sure anyone cleaned the shower. Also toilet was clogged when we got there but they left me a plunger so I guess it worked out.

The pool looked like the ooze the ninja turtles fell in. The room I had was newly renovated but didn’t have hot water at the sink. Loud guests. Weed smoke coming in through the air vent. They give you a half a sheet to cover up with… save your self the trouble. This is definitely on my never to return list

The bathroom was dirty. The outside of the property is filthy and the door numbers were indicated by dark blue painters tape. I was given no directions on how to get to my room so I spent 15 minutes walking around trying to figure out where to go. Just an awful experience. Thankful for the refund.

What a dump! This hotel should not be open at all. There is a huge dumpster in the back that is full of residential type trash. I think the hotel is subsidizing houses for their workers and that's where they're putting their trash. We saw several rats coming to and from the dumpster towards the building. The whole property stinks inside and out. The room was dank and unclean. The free breakfast that was advertised was non-existent. I do not believe I would have ate it anyway looking at the conditions of this property. On top of all of this I was charged an extra fee to pay cash at the hotel when I got there but the hotel charged the full amount to my card anyway. When I spoke to the clerk I was told to contact the third party in which I booked the room from but the hotel was the one that charged my card. If there was ever going to be a show called quote Hotel nightmares"? This would be the premier episode. Do not stay here, you have been warned!

The breakfast that they our advertising came in a brown paper bag with a tiny water, a small packet of crackers and a tiny mini muffin. Also, the floors of the walkways of the motel are dirty. I think it's under new ownership and they are remodeling but a brown paper bag for breakfast? Really? Not sure what the coffee maker was all about, pretty amateur looking if you ask me. Not able to drink the nasty coffee. My room didn't have a number on it. Hopefully they get there act together. Also, didn't really feel that safe.

Disgusting facility

The place was unbelievable disgusting. Mattress stained, there was trash all over the facility. A moldy chair was left outside. A housekeeping cart was left abandoned outside. This was the most unsanitary facility I’ve ever seen.

Place is actively renovating. Employees not English fluent. I was sent to 3 rooms to “check if they were ready” eventually given a “suite” with missing curtains and moldy chair in bedroom. Common area littered with construction trash, guest trash and overall dirty. And no breakfast

Not worth your time

The hotel wasn't clean and they charged my credit card after I left. After viewing the room, I turned the key in and told them I wanted to cancel the reservation. The room cost 88 dollars but put a 100 dollar holding fee for the room, which wasn't returned.

This property has so many things wrong with it, it should NOT be part of Expedia's line up, it is that bad, nowhere close to ANYone's standards. Plus the employees LIE. I asked and was told breakfast was 6-9 but in fact there was ZERO breakfast even though it's stated they have a "full" breakfast on the website. No entrance light switch. Light switches that do nothing. No hot water in shower.No lip on shower edge so the water just pours on the floor. No fan cover in one bathroom and couldn't turn that jet engine sounding fan off. Other bath had no fan at all and a toilet that runs. No shelves at all in full size fridge. Not one dresser, not one hanger, zero place and zero way to hang anything. TV said it has apps but there were none. Construction going on in the back of the hotel, but honestly it appears they "redid" (if you can call it that) the room we were in, but horribly. You cannot just add a new sink to on an old counter with rusted doorframes and call it a "redo". Marks all over the doors. The tub was full of paint drops. But when the water never got hot it didn't matter because i couldn't get in it! There was no clear marked entrance to the place. The front entrance looked closed, it was so dark inside, that we drove around the whole building looking for it. The pavement around the whole hotel was full of so many huge and deep potholes. Unbelievable.

I think this is family owned and the staff tries their best to be friendly. They upgraded me to a suite which was essentially 2 rooms in 1. The room has minimal cosmetic upgrade, the floor was dirty, no towels, no shower curtain, nothing in the room works! Morning breakfast was a brown bag with snacks from Costco! Maybe they need more time before they open for business.

Stay away

My husband, daughter and myself checked in for a 4 night stay. The room was not ready for renting as the whole place is under renovation. There were 3 of us and only 2 towels in the room that weren't changed out at all the entire stay ! Thank god we brought some. Right outside our room door and in front if our window was a huge 20' dumpster with trash all over the ground so this was our vuew for 4 days. We had a lovely brand new t.v. in the room that did not work the entire time we were there, went to office 3 times to request it be fixed and were told "it'll work tomorrow " but to no avail it never did.

Lipstick on a pig

This place is being renovated and let’s just say it’s like putting lipstick on a pig. Some major points just were not addressed. Paint peeling off doors, it looked like someone had previously tried to break into the room I was in. I hate to think of what it looked like 5 years ago though so they’ve definitely made improvements. The coat of paint and new furniture do look alright and the exterior was alright.

Mainstay suites bottom of your stay

I would not recommend this hotels or anyone because they are doing a major renovations and so they don’t have any place to hang your clothes. The floor was dirty the tub was dirty and it continues flies was in the building. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone at this present time the staff was fairly friendly, but I was disappointed and there was no pool no breakfast like they said they gave us bag lunches.
