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.

Great stay
This hotel was just what my friend and I needed. We were in town for homecoming and weren’t planning on staying the night. The cold and rain changed our plans. The room was nice and clean, the beds were super comfortable. Check-in/out was quick and easy. We did miss the breakfast bag unfortunately.

1st room toilet overflowed He quickly got us another room but not with sit down tub shower, 2nd room tv did not work, 3rd room had to shut air off due to noise. We stayed in that room and reported in morning at check out. I also sent an email to Hotels Choice corporate about the issue. First time we had this many issues. The night cleok did what he could for us by changing rooms. I don’t know who checks rooms before putting someone in them.

There was a cockroach in the bathroom. The hotel also charged $50/pet which wasn’t disclosed anywhere until time of payment. We had two well behaved, clean dogs with us so the price felt extreme and unnecessary. It was not worth the stay.
