Great staff and very knowledgeable about how to get around town. My only downside is the lame breakfast. Just some fruit, yogurt, breads, and waffle maker. They could go deeper into their pocket and have some bacon, sausage, and eggs. Otherwise it's was a great place.

We checked in with the manager on Duty, Kim. She did not greet us, nor did she smile. You could tell we interrupted whatever she was doing, and it was an inconvenience to her. The room itself was clean. The bathroom was clean, but needed grout redone as you could possibly see mold in the old sealer. Husband was excited over having a gym available. Unfortunately, the gym was closed due to multiple pieces of broken equipment. We discovered the location was not necessarily a good part of town. There were a couple of unsavory encounters.

It really needs to be updated and cleaned. I felt so grossed out there that I didn't want to shower there. My family and I got up the next morning and got on the road--we ate fast food and showered at our next hotel. The front desk manager was kind and the rooms are spacious, but I will never stay at a MainStay Suites again. First and last time.

It's a very nice apartment like hotel room. We didn't see any bugs and it had no bad smell in the room. The sheets did have a few marks on them that could have been stains and the room could use a good dusting but overall we was comfortable and satisfied.
