Everyone at Mainstay is very nice and pleasant. But the property serves a purpose - my stay wasn't bad but comfort could be improved. The property is older and you can tell, which many may not have issue with. When it came to water pressure in the shower, the sink faucets were too short for the sink, items not working (lamps, fans), these things were lacking. Bedding was comfortable, air conditioner worked great (though noisy but I'll take working well in the high heat over noise), good wifi access, nice breakfast, and tv choice. I did see a roach in the hall but no other pests or something 'gross'. I never felt unsafe as there are cameras everywhere, and there are several security features on the door (it beeps if open too long). I will note that for the time I was there, the two buildings were all male construction crews and I was the only female guest that I saw. Again never felt unsafe but could be unnerving for some people.

Check in was in a different hotel across the street. Bedding was not in the room for sofa bed. Building was in desperate need of a makeover. Generally did not look clean.

Horrible experience!! Our phone did not work . No iron nor blow dryer in the room. The ice machine was broken. We got locked out of our room the second night we were there. The clerk deactivated our room keys and only checked us in for one night instead of two!! We were Inconvenienced To have to go to the front desk not once but twice to get our room keys to work!! What a joke!! I do NOT RECOMMEND this hotel.
