Checked in and was supposed to have a 2 queen one pull out sofa bed suite for my family of 5. I was told they don’t have my room and shifted blame to hotels.com because it is sometimes an issue with third party sites. They only had a king bed suite that we had to make do. I know it wasn’t an issue with a third party site as my in laws were also staying there and my sister in law forgot to finalize her reservation through hotels.commso she called the hotel an hour before we all got there and they got her a 2 queen suite…which was our room. I’m not sure why they would give our room away considering it was already paid for. The front desk staff I talked with the next day even said “Oh, they gave them your room!” The room has a bad odor in it but sufficed for the evening. On a positive note, the room my in laws got was pretty good. Didn’t smell, plenty of space. Breakfast was very limited.

I tried to stay here about a month ago and it was a terrible experience. Short story, we arrive and are given the wrong room (which was dirty, i have pics) with a lower occupancy than stated on Orbitz (no sofa bed), are treated adversarially by the front desk when i try to explain the problem, end up having to stay accross the street even though the room we had paid for (at a higher rate than was currently listed) was available. Refund was never given when manager was contacted by both Orbitz and myself. Who runs a hotel like this? How easy a fix is it to say "Oh, yes i see your orbitz reservation was for the room with a sofa-bed, we have that room available and you paid more than we are asking for that room, lets switch you over, no problem!" Instead they want to play a blame game with orbitz, while giving me attitude, and i end up getting stuck with paying for two rooms, eventhough the fault is somewhere between these two large companies. Basically, the owner of the manager/owner of this hotel cares more about pocketing my nightly fee than he does about his customers or the long term prospects of the hotel. Stay somewhere else, as others have said, if there is a problem, you are SOL.

There was a dried out coffee filter in my room coffee pot. The breakfast in the motel itself only had waffles for a hot item and the rest was bagels, toast, cold cereal and yogurt.

Room was lacking . Cabinet door missing. Tub had questionable patch in it. Key wouldn't work on the second day. Sketchy breakfast. Certainly did not meet what was expected for the price. Would not book another MainStay. in the future.

We go there and they assigned us our room the first room was terrible. They didn’t even clean the room from whoever was staying there. Tv was on & bed was not made, toilet wasn’t flushed. Horrible. Went downstairs to he a different room much better than the first. Called the front because we needed more toilet, they couldn’t bring it up to us we had to go downstairs to get it ourselves. Everyone at the front desk was not dressed professional. All in sandals or flip flops with sweatpants & a t shirt. Definitely wouldn’t not stay here again. Would rather pay more for better service.
