Are we on candid camera?

They would only allow 3 towels and there were 7 in our suite, we ran out of toilet paper, they told us we would have to wait u til Monday, as they keep that closet locked and only the manager has a key. Asked for kleenex, nope we are out! Asked for soap, nope, we are upgrading and don't provide it any longer. They provided a roll away bed, which was appreciated, yet could not get sheets. Curtains were shredded and just hanging, the lamps in the bedrooms did not work, wallpaper peeled off wall. Stains all over couch and ottoman. No utensils in the kitchen, only 2 cups, 2 glasses and no pots or pans. So! to say the least it was miserable.......

Review 1 Night Stay

Terrible! Arrived to my room, and it was a mess! Food boxes everywhere, bed unkempt, smelled funky. The hallway reeked of Marijuana. Went to front desk and got a new room in a different building. New room was clean, smelled kind of funky, and smoke detector was removed from ceiling (tried attaching photo, wont attach) Left for dinner, returned and hallway also reeked of Marijuana. At about 11 pm door opened with a key and it was front desk personnel. She apologized profusely assuming the room was empty. The whole night i couldnt sleep, Marijuana smell from hallway was seeping through, everytime i heard the building door open, which was just outside room, i felt as if someone was entering my room, like earlier. Terrible mistakes and terrible hotel. Definitely DO NOT Recommend.

Marijuana Stench Motel/Lazy Manager

This property is managed by a lazy manager who allows Marijuana/smoking in the rooms. The property is supposed to be 'smoke free'. Yet the buildings smell like marijuana everyday all day long. The rooms are not properly maintained yet rented to guests. I requested to view my room prior to paying & check in to insure I didn't get a nasty , garbage room. Furthermore the manager has no customer service skills or basic understanding of purchase & receipt. Beware!! Beware!! The hotel charges guest an unexpected deposit at check in but she refuses to give a receipt for the charge. Then I was alerted by my card later that "someone" from Mainstay constantly tried to make unauthorized charges on my card. Fortunately the card was locked. Several of the staff live on property & hang around the office entrance smoking. AVOID this place!! They need to get new management before the current manager & staff run this property further into the ground.

When I arrived in my room, the TV cable and TV were partly pulled out of the wall(broken plates and wires hanging down. As a result TV and WiFi were intermittent to on-existent. I reported this immediately. Ii was not offered an alternate room. Instead, I was told that maintenance had left for the day (it was 4 pm), and it would be fixed the next morning. It was not, so I had another evening without TV or internet. Also, the thermostat didn’t work. The room was clean and otherwise fine, but I will likely avoid this chain in the future.

The property was nice. As for as room #205, there were dead roaches and live roaches on walls and crawling on room door and cabinet doors (recorded and showed video to secretary of roaches crawling on wall) as well as bed bugs in the first room. Talked to secretary, got moved to 3rd floor rm 304, room was in much better condition but when it started raining, it started leaking in the window pane and water leaked into AC. Stay wasnt the greatest but pest control most definitely needs to be prioritized frequently due to those kind of situations.

My room wreaked of old animal urine and wet dog. There was mold on the a/c vent/ceiling around the vent. The carpet was stained. The tv’s half worked, limited channels. The baseboards in the bathroom were pealing from the walls/tub. The toilet seat was too large for the toilet and broken. It was my birthday trip, and the room was very unpleasant. I even called the front desk to switch rooms, but she stated they were SOLD OUT for the night and that if I wanted a refund, it would be 5-7 business days. I felt they could have been more understanding or had a better solution to problems, even half off would have been a nice gesture.
