MainStay Suites

This hotel is convenient to all the local fair of CR and at a great price. They take dogs and the rooms are very nice and clean. Downside… I know, I wish there wasn’t one either… the tub did not drain very well so showering was a mess when your feet are submerged in someone else’s dirty water… Eww! I informed the staff and was told that there was no maintenance available that day. However, we stayed 2 more days and still no fix. Obviously it didn’t bother me enough to leave the hotel, it was just me and the hubby anyway! Just be mindful is all. The staff is very nice and, OH yeah… they have a continental breakfast which is not usually seen with extended stay suites. That was an unexpected treat! I would stay again, but I’d test the tub drain first before I got comfy in the room.

Stayed for 7 days while in town visiting family.
Overall first impression was ok. We had a queen bed and fold out couch, decent amount of space for 2 adults and 1 child.
Staff: Friendly and professional. Slow when it came to requests.
Pros:
–Lots of storage space, chests of drawers, full size closet and drawers/​cabinets in bathroom to tuck away our belongings
–Breakfast was good. Menu included: coffee, juices, milk, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, waffle maker, omelettes, breakfast burritos, muffins, bagels, cereal & oatmeal with toppings, biscuits and gravy, bacon, sausage.
Cons:
–Sticky carpet– feels strange on bare feet
–There was a funny, almost sickening smell to the room, a cross between artificial cookie and dampness. Turned off the a/​c and left room open during most of the visit which helped.
–Staff were helpful but unfriendly. Got stared down and thought they might spit on me at one point. Could be because we’re a queer couple with a kid traveling in the Midwest? Anyway… I smeared my gay cooties all over that room AND swam in the pool so, ya’ll better look out! It’s contaigious! ;)
