The room was a good size and offered nice amenities. However, the bed was extremely uncomfortable and appeared to be poorly maintained. The mattress had a noticeable dip on the right side, making it feel like I was sleeping on the floor with little to no support. The HVAC system was also in poor condition. Whenever it was running, it made a loud, high-pitched whine that sounded like the fan was about to fail. The noise was loud enough to wake me up multiple times throughout the night. On a positive note, the shower had good water pressure and worked well.

Could have been cleaner and needs to be remodeled but then I am sure it will be much more expensive. Very economical with a warm shower and a good bed. Very secure and safe.

The air conditioner in our room made a horribly loud constant noise. If it wasn’t for that I’d be leaving a great review, because honestly this hotel was surprisingly nice for the price. But since we literally could not sleep, which is sort of the entire point of a hotel room, I won’t be back.

Great location, I like the functional kitchen (great for families with kids/babies), room was reasonably big, good shower pressure. I was not happy when charged $20 for canceling my last night with more than 48 hours in advance notice and after asking the front desk attendant if I was going to be charged for it and he said no :( Oh well. Plenty of parking spots.

Kitchen light flickered and TV turned on but did not work at all. Didn’t bother me as I was exhausted and went to sleep pretty much right away. Heat/AC worked well. Bed was comfortable, room was old but clean. Shower had great water pressure. I did not use any amenities.

This is an excellent choice for guests without children. No breakfast or pool for kids but if you're visiting or working in emporia, then Mainstay suites are perfect. Kitchenettes are excellent and beds are soft.

The motel, room and staff were very good. Except for the noisy HVAC unit in the room.It was irritating and would have made it difficult to sleep. Fortunately we did not need it for heat or cooling and I was able to shut it off. Also the hall HVAC unit at the south end on the 2nd floor was extremely loud and we could hear it in our room. It would appear both units were in need of maintenance.

This hotel was OK for a one-night stay but wouldn't want to stay longer. Bed was saggy, other general repair issues, lack of USB ports, plugs embedded in the lamp were coming loose so I didn't want to risk plugging my laptop into it. Lots of road noise, but you get that when near a highway.

One night stay for travel. Second time we have stayed there and will again. Full kitchen is nice. Does not have breakfast but in their binder in each room with information, it does say 'pick up your bagged' breakfast. Apparently, they no longer offer that according to the receptionist.

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.

Room was very clean and neat. I didn’t realize it was an extended stay until I saw the mini kitchen.
Would say the the straight back wooden chair was very uncomfortable. It actually hurt my back to sit on it.
Also you should put a sign on the wall to use the thermostat to control the HVAC. Took me awhile to realize the control was there just didn’t see it for a hike.

Scary

A little scary. The lock on our door didn’t work. Could just push the door open. We didn’t go to the manager as it was 11:30pm. We could only use the bar across the top. Even bolt lock didn’t work.
Seems the using hotels.com the places are giving out rooms that aren’t in the best locations. Happened once in another state previously.
