There was no ice machine, the door wouldn't shut to the bathroom, the remote was working part time and the channels on the tv limited. When I asked for a receipt they were unable to produce one. The price was jacked up with taxes that made it way higher than the motel was worth.

Pleasant surprise

I was totally surprised by this Mainstay Suites. I don’t think I ever stayed at this brand of hotel. I found it wonderful. It’s got a kitchen with full refrigerator, burners and appliances available at the desk at no extra charge. Free coffee. WiFi worked well.
