Front Desk Staff was super friendly and greeted us every time we walked thru the door. They were quick to solve the only issue we had. Which was only one bath towel for a room occupancy of 4 people. We all used one towel the first night, but the next morning the front desk gave us 3 more and apologized for the inconvenience. Only other thing was there was no hair dryer, so be sure to take your own. We didn’t HAVE to have one so it wasn’t a big deal for us. We felt safe because you had to have a key card to get in the front door or be buzzed in. They breakfast was good too. The staff that prepared the breakfast food was very friendly and helpful. If we visit Cincinnati again, we will stay here again.

When checking the front desk employee's struggles to find a room for me when I arrived about 430/5pm for my reservation.

I was given a room when I quickly went put down my bag, and left for a dinner reservation.

When returning I realize the room was not clean. Trash was piled under the sink and smelled like it was left for a while but overall not clean.

The employee at night wanted to put up a fight but quickly offered another room which corrected that situation but definitely changed the mood for the evening.

Negatives: The hotel seemed like it had thin walls/floors. I could hear lots of other people…all night long. The bathroom had a slight sewage smell. No creamer packets next to the coffee maker.

I want to thank the front desk staff Rayven she was amazing!! We arrived earlier than expected because of an cancelled travel that shifted for earlier than expected. She did everything to make things less stressful and all the staff worked together to ensure the early check in. The room was very nice and clean. Loved the kitchen area equipped which we didn’t use because we were only there for a day attending the Cardi B concert. I will definitely stay here again.

Overall, the hotel looked very nice. It was also nice that our room had a kitchen. I did have to switch rooms when I first checked in because the first room had dirty bed linens. The manager, who was very friendly, was very apologetic and immediately switched my room. I would also mention that the mattress was not very comfortable and you could hear street noise very clearly.

This is a newly remodeled place is what they told us. That must be why they didn’t have ice on every floor. That was ok though because they had an actual refrigerator with a freezer and ice mold in your room. We made our own ice. The floors were filthy, they made our feet very dirty. The guest before us had spilled what looked like coffee all over the inside of the nightstand that I cleaned up. My family of 5 only had 2 towels, we asked for more. We had to ask for the sheets and blanket for the sofa bed. We stayed 2 nights, no one came and “refreshed” our room, so now we had zero towels. There was no hairdryer, no bag for laundry, no paperwork of any kind as to what was around the area, no sign to hang on your door, no pen or paper. This place just seemed to be not prepared. I dunno, maybe all the other hotels I’ve stayed at spoiled me. Pool was small and freezing, no hot tub. Breakfast was free, that was great. But the food was gross, especially the eggs. Don’t eat the eggs……even the boiled eggs made us raise an eyebrow wondering how they made “fake”and nasty tasting ones.
You had to download an app to pay for the washer and dryer. But then you had to add money to it in increments of 5. It didn’t cost 5, so now we have a balance on this app that we will probably never use. Overall this place needs some work, but the staff were friendly and accommodating.

50 minute wait to get our room because it was not ready at 8pm. Manager left the front desk to check on it and never returned and left a new employee to deal with the fall out of sad customers. Jaz was very kind and apologetic . Breakfast was meh . No fruit or yogurt. Hot food was not replenished for the busy breakfast rush. We wish there were chocolate chips for the waffles or hot chocolate to sip on.

I booked two rooms for one night and nothing worked ie: room phones, cable/internet (wi-fi), ice machine. I complained to the front desk to no avail. The staff kept saying “we just reopened on Friday”. I feel the hotel should’ve remained closed until everything was in proper working order. I am a Choice Hotel club member and this was the absolute worst stay experience I’ve ever encountered. I can’t recommend this facility but I won’t spend my money here again.

The worst hotel stay ever

This was the worst experience I have ever had in a hotel. Upon check-in, I had to pay $250 per room for incidentals which was not mentioned on any website. That $500 was more than I paid for the two rooms plus fees and taxes altogether otherwise. On check-in, we were handed a paper that said many of the rooms were having problems with the television and Internet problems and to let them know if that happened. Of course, our rooms were affected. One of the two rooms did not have a working television or telephone or stove. The other room did not have a working stove or microwave. All of the appliances have zip ties on their power cords so they could not be used including the coffee maker. There was trash, left in the bathroom and the bed sheets were dirty. None of the dishes were clean in the drawers. One of the rooms had been supplied with two open bars of soap, which is clearly unsanitary. Nut room also had two lightbulbs out on the outside walls of the room. Staff made the keys and active for both of my two rooms at 10 AM thankfully we found that out when one of our party went outside and couldn’t use their key. Check out is at 11 AM and when I told this staff, she just said they shouldn’t be. I assured her they were and she said that’s interesting. The ice machine was broken so they handed us a Ziploc sandwich size bag of ice they put in my hand without gloves. The breakfast consisted of fruit and empty containers for apparent warm food empty for 55 minutes. No restitution.

Great Experience!!

We loved our stay at Mainstay Suites!!! We were traveling with our 13 year old granddaughter and she LOVED the privacy of the kitchen and pull-out sofa bed being separate from our beds and bathroom. Everyone was super nice!!! The lady in the breakfast area, the guys at the desk and all the maids were extremely nice!!! There was one young black girl, must have been head of housekeeping, (I regret not getting her name.) she had such a welcoming spirit. Always smiling and giving an encouraging word. Even my granddaughters were impressed with this hotel. They asked if I could find another one like this at our next stop. Thanks for a GREAT stay!!!

Smoking in Rooms

Paid a very high rate (Taylor Swift Concert night) to basically just get ready for the concert for 20 minutes. Our room smelled like someone had been smoking in it for days, and there was a chewed up piece of gum on the floor in plain sight in our room. Disappointing because I knew the hotel and all hotels in the area were sold out, so I didn’t bother even trying to switch. We had already spent so much money on the hotel and concert and didn’t want to spend more, so my husband and I took turns sleeping and driving and we drove all the way back to Chattanooga, arriving home at 6am.

Our experience was troublesome. When we first arrived in our room it was bedtime for the kids. We booked a room with 2 queens and 1 pull out couch. We came to find that the couch had no mattress on the bed. We called the front desk to make them aware, after about a half hour on hold, the front desk informed us that they could move us rooms to accommodate. We were not so thrilled about a room change due to the kids already halfway asleep and we have already unpacked our bags, but that was the only way to have a comfortable stay. So at 10:30pm we switched rooms. Our second room was an upgrade and did have a mattress on the pull out couch, but it was very dirty and had wrappers and items underneath that showed there has not been a thorough clean. We decided to set that concern aside and worry about it in the morning. Unfortunately, our night did not end there. While getting around for bed, a big black bug came running across the floor leaving us is disarray. This bug did not die the first, second or third time trying to kill it (that can only give you detail as to what type of bug we encountered). By this time we were calling surrounding hotels to find other rooms to book along with calling front desk again and explaining our frustration. We witnessed the front desk frustrated with his night already and understood staffing issues but this was a problem we were not going to leave under the rug. They ended up re-accommodating us and I spoke with the manager the next morning.

I wish I caught the woman’s name at the desk, she was there at our check in on June 10 @ 4pm, and was very polite, when we had arrived back from an event we came across an issue in our room & she immediately had us taken care of! Very sweet and even though she was super busy every time we seen her, she Always had a smile on her face !

Okay for the price

Didn't seem like an area you would find a hotel in, it snuck up on us. Not a terrible area, but not great. Staff was awesome and friendly. Nice, large room, comfortable beds. Cleanliness was definitely lacking. We checked in at 3 am so I didn't say anything when we got there. I'm no clean freak but I went and got a package of Lysol wipes the next morning to wipe things down. Surfaces were dirty (obvious crumbs on nightstand and sticky spots) stains on mattress protector and bottom of the bed, and floors were dirty. If it were clean, I would give it a 9.
