I have stayed in 18 hotels in the past 21 nights. The Mainstay in Carlisle, PA was one of the least expensive, and by far the best experiences. The GM, Jessica should be managing a Ritz- Carlton next.

EVERY DAY, between 4pm and 4 am I dealt with cigarette smoke coming into the bathroom, via the exhaust fan. I verbally told the front desk 4 times, and Emailed once. It was my first and last stay there.

Disgraceful

We had a prepaid reservation with the hotel and arrived at 10pm to try to get the children in bed. Upon check-in I was told that they cancelled our reservation because they overbooked the hotel that night. They handed me a curt letter from the manager saying that I would be refunded. We were not notified of the cancellation until we were in the lobby. It seems as those from the escort service were readily given rooms, and we suspect that we were bumped due to higher rate payout than what we had paid.

Would stay again

From early check in to a fire alarm forcing a building evacuation as I was checking out...all handled very smoothly. Other reviews about slippery shower floor and lack of kitchen supplies are accurate. Ice maker in fridge was a definite plus.
