We have been staying here for over 20 years. It has gone downhill a bit over the past few years as far as upkeep and cleanliness. The stairs needed to be vacuumed. They used to be done daily. Looked like they hadn’t been done all summer. Our beds were so uncomfortable which was never a problem before. We will still go back!! And hopefully these issues will be addressed

Word of Mouth is Avertisement

By phone I spoke about getting an extra parking space, because there is only one spot per room. I was told there probably would be one but when I arrived we were told there weren't any left. Yet for two nights there was 1-2 empty spots. It cost us over $100.00 to park in lots. We extended our stay somewhere else with better customer service!!

The rooms were clean and beautifully decorated. Doesnt look like the usual boring motel/hotels. Staff was so kind. My daughter has disabilities and had a meltdown in the main office. The staff could have ignored it and continue doing their job but instead they helped me calm her down. Definitely booking here again next year.

When we first checked in we were given a key to someone else’s room with their belongings… we then we placed in a room that wasn’t clean, then moved to a room when we finally settled we moved rooms again. Shower didn’t drain when being used. We will not be staying here again.

Mainsail Motel and Cottages

They didn't offer free ice. We are senior citizens and had a third floor room without an elevator, which was my fault for not calling and requesting a more suitable room. Room was basic, no extras. Beds were older, one was very comfortable, the second bed was not that comfortable. The office had very limited hours, 2pm-7pm. Cleanliness was A+, we would stay there again, but would definitely call for a reservation.
