This “hotel” was absolutely disgraceful. It shouldn’t even be open for business. Expedia should not even list this as a property. Check in was at 3pm didn’t get in till 630pm. Get to hotel ceiling tile is falling out of the entrance. Looks abandoned. Gets into room absolutely foul flour is sticky nothing is clean shower is covered in dirt and backing up dirty water. Cigarette burns all over the place. Furniture looks like it was picked up on the side of the road. We had to go buy our own bleach and wipes to clean the place to be able to shower. Walked around in shoes the whole stay. Lock to door was broken off. I have so many pictures of this awful motel hotel.

“Free breakfast” was a brown bag with crackers and a tasty cake. Better than nothing but like c’mon man. Also place was under construction and I’m not sure anyone cleaned the shower. Also toilet was clogged when we got there but they left me a plunger so I guess it worked out.

The pool looked like the ooze the ninja turtles fell in. The room I had was newly renovated but didn’t have hot water at the sink. Loud guests. Weed smoke coming in through the air vent. They give you a half a sheet to cover up with… save your self the trouble. This is definitely on my never to return list

Disgusting facility

The place was unbelievable disgusting. Mattress stained, there was trash all over the facility. A moldy chair was left outside. A housekeeping cart was left abandoned outside. This was the most unsanitary facility I’ve ever seen.

The breakfast that they our advertising came in a brown paper bag with a tiny water, a small packet of crackers and a tiny mini muffin. Also, the floors of the walkways of the motel are dirty. I think it's under new ownership and they are remodeling but a brown paper bag for breakfast? Really? Not sure what the coffee maker was all about, pretty amateur looking if you ask me. Not able to drink the nasty coffee. My room didn't have a number on it. Hopefully they get there act together. Also, didn't really feel that safe.

I would not recommend this hotels or anyone because they are doing a major renovations and so they don’t have any place to hang your clothes. The floor was dirty the tub was dirty and it continues flies was in the building. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone at this present time the staff was fairly friendly, but I was disappointed and there was no pool no breakfast like they said they gave us bag lunches.

This hotel was not a typical MainStay Suites. It looks like they took over a local run down motel and put their name on it. You can tell they are doing some renovations, but even the rooms that are already renovated still need some work. Our bathroom door was coming apart at the bottom and did not have a locking door knob. The door knob on the inside of the bathroom door was covered in dry plaster. Our front door did not lineup with the door frame properly and needed some extra muscle to get it to close all the way. The tub had a large rectangular white stick on cover up an area of the tub that was scraped or messed up somehow, but didn't even cover all the marks. The ad for the hotel said breakfast was included. Unless a liquid coffee breakfast is your thing, there was nothing else provided. The eat in area where I assume breakfast might normally be served was blocked off. I booked 2 non-smoking rooms, yet one of them smelled like a smoke factory. When asked for a different room, they claimed they were full and came down with some kind of fragrance spray. They sprayed the curtain and area over the fan/blower and said, "There you go." What the heck? And there was an outlet in one room, right next to the bed that did not work at all. I would not stay here again and makes me question the MainStay Suites brand now.

This “hotel” is not somewhere my husband and I would normally stay but we’ve had a lot going on and didn’t check the rating and reviews beforehand. However, we were only staying one night and figured we’d “just deal with it”. However, from check in, I knew this would not be “it”. And to be clear, I NEVER leave reviews, but this hotel definitely deserves one and I mean that it the most negative way possible. Do not stay here! Dirty, smelly standing water in the walkway outside, broken lock on the room door, dirty tub and toilet, brown water when we first turned on the shower, smoke detector hanging off the wall, odd odor in the room…but the worst is that they charged me twice for the stay. They charged the card that I gave them to use and also the card I have on file with Expedia that I used to book the room which I didn’t even have on me! When I called them about it they said I would get the money back in my account and of course they never did and had to dispute the charge on the card that’s on file with Expedia. This is the worst hotel experience my husband have had in the whole 10 years we’ve been traveling together. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!!! And if you have, please check your accounts! This is definitely a “motel” and the pictures on here are very deceiving. STAY AT YOUR OWN RISK

This property has so many things wrong with it, it should NOT be part of Expedia's line up, it is that bad, nowhere close to ANYone's standards. Plus the employees LIE. I asked and was told breakfast was 6-9 but in fact there was ZERO breakfast even though it's stated they have a "full" breakfast on the website. No entrance light switch. Light switches that do nothing. No hot water in shower.No lip on shower edge so the water just pours on the floor. No fan cover in one bathroom and couldn't turn that jet engine sounding fan off. Other bath had no fan at all and a toilet that runs. No shelves at all in full size fridge. Not one dresser, not one hanger, zero place and zero way to hang anything. TV said it has apps but there were none. Construction going on in the back of the hotel, but honestly it appears they "redid" (if you can call it that) the room we were in, but horribly. You cannot just add a new sink to on an old counter with rusted doorframes and call it a "redo". Marks all over the doors. The tub was full of paint drops. But when the water never got hot it didn't matter because i couldn't get in it! There was no clear marked entrance to the place. The front entrance looked closed, it was so dark inside, that we drove around the whole building looking for it. The pavement around the whole hotel was full of so many huge and deep potholes. Unbelievable.

What a dump! This hotel should not be open at all. There is a huge dumpster in the back that is full of residential type trash. I think the hotel is subsidizing houses for their workers and that's where they're putting their trash. We saw several rats coming to and from the dumpster towards the building. The whole property stinks inside and out. The room was dank and unclean. The free breakfast that was advertised was non-existent. I do not believe I would have ate it anyway looking at the conditions of this property. On top of all of this I was charged an extra fee to pay cash at the hotel when I got there but the hotel charged the full amount to my card anyway. When I spoke to the clerk I was told to contact the third party in which I booked the room from but the hotel was the one that charged my card. If there was ever going to be a show called quote Hotel nightmares"? This would be the premier episode. Do not stay here, you have been warned!
