Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Bed bugs. Elevator down. Pool closed. Fitness center closed. Booked on top (4th floor). Fire alarm on first night - no announcement or follow-up. Locals camp in/near stairwells and main exits. Booked through Expedia so did not see these negative reviews. Pictures are flattering. Maintenance has not been kept up. Peeling paint throughout. Water leaks evident in lobby. Floors are dirty in common areas. Expedia unable to reach management to address complaints. Hotel did refund my booking after I checked out at midnight due to the bedbugs.

Price was right but nothing else was.

If you want a really cheap place ot stay it fits the bill, but the cleanliness and the secuirty of hte hotel was much to be desired. If oyu are staying on business and do not have your family wiht oyou it might be a godo deal for hte price but I woould not stay there if I had any family.

Elevator was out and he wouldn’t place us in a room on the first floor. Bed mattresses were old and sagging in the middle. Couldn’t even shower because the drainage in the tub was broken so water would get in behind the wall. No breakfast yet site sd there would be, I reserved a king bed but got 2 queens.

Initial contact

The night before check-in, I called the facility for a service request and the desk clerk said bluntly, "I don't see your name...call back later... we're busy". Upon check-in, I discovered that my request to "NOT be on the 1st floor could not be honored--the 3rd floor was blocked off, plus the elevators were out of order. A dog in an adjoining room cried and whimpered all day while its master was away. My 2-day stay was not a pleasant experience!

It was awful, the building is not clean, looks run down. The lobby was filled with loiterers.

This experience allowed me to understand I will never again stay at a Main Stay Hotel ever again or at any other Hotel that allows people to live for months at a time. The sheets were disgusting. There were ROACH traps in the bathroom. There was commotion in the hallways ALL night long. There were arguing outside my window throughout the night. I truly did not feel safe at this place. I traveled for work purposes and getting rest was unobtainable on this night. I woke tire and outdone.
