Felt very uneasy seeing a Tattooed man with Bear cans sleepin in the stairs one doorway away from where my family of 7 stayed. Between two families I traveled with we all Checked into a dirty rooms. Boogers on the wall. Trash and stains inside pull out couch. Kitchen utensils unusable. Broken kurig in room. Room key stopped workin daily. Housecleaning unavailable every day. Had to go down to front desk to borrow their vacuum to do my own cleaning since I have toddlers. The only thing I enjoyed was the two bright smiles from the two front desk ladies. I have stayed with mainstay in the past, considered it a safe and affordable Choice. I will never again choose them for my family travels.

The hotel was a simple halt on a longer trip, though. It is located right beside the Interstate and not far from a good access to shopping and restaurant. Hotel was fine, clean, simple, very basic breakfast, plenty of space and nice. I won't forget the place if I need to stop by again.
