Property is a quaint property right in the middle of town. It is very clean and perfect if you’re visiting Cary . One negative was their claim to have a delicious Sunday brunch, but our experience was that the brunch was just average at best.

It was a nice time. Enjoyed dinner in the restaurant and I liked the art in the hallways. Also it was really nice to have safe and accessible self parking right on main street just outside the hotel. This is a very safe and good area to visit.

Wi-fi didn’t work during our weekend stay. Low water pressure. Limited parking on site so be prepared to park in a nearby lot or on street. Good location but overall did not meet expectations.

The Mayten is a wonderful hotel in the heart of downtown Cary. Lucky for us that all the downtown and Cary Park holiday lights were on display. Thank you to the friendly hotel staff. Our breakfast in the dining room was delicious and bartenders crafted festive drinks one evening. The rooms were spotless and the hotel decor fits the architectural style. We look forward to staying here again in the future.
