Comfortable Stay!
Friendly staff. Clean room and common area. Comfortable bed, but plan exercise off site. The treadmill was out of order and the elliptical was missing an arm. There is no where to run outdoors safely close.

Go to hotel in Lufkin
Bathroom was a little dirty upon check in. Very quiet area and felt safe. Staff was very friendly. Would've been nice to see a little variety in the breakfast options (maybe healthier options as well). Overall this is a go too spot when staying in Lufkin.

I'll research this with my executive housekeeper. I'm sincerely sorry about the oversite and we will add it to our deep clean list as a priority room. Thank you for your kind words on our team and safe location. I'll see what went wrong with breakfast as well as we try and provide as many options as possible while keeping freshness optimal. We appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback as it helps us become a better business. Thank you for the good review!

This was not a $200 a night hotel stay at all! Very outdated and felt very dirty. Wouldn't recommend and regret buying two rooms the night we did!

Not what I expected
I was very disappointed with my stay! I had booked a suite with a jacuzzi bath and when I arrived I didn’t have one and I upgraded the room for it! Each morning I was greeted with a roach in the bathroom. Below is a picture and I have videos but I can’t upload
Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022
Response from Rachel on Aug 27, 2022
I sincerely apologize we did not meet your expectations during your stay. We unfortunately do not have any jacuzzi baths in guest rooms, but we have an exceptional one outdoors. I understand how frustrating it can be to expect something listed online but not have it available. I researched the matter and couldn't find an online listing with Jacuzzi rooms in our guest rooms, but I will be sure to contact the third party networks to see if there are any errors listed again. As a preventative measure we had our pest control come and and proceed with an additional service on property. Thank you for bringing it to our attention so we could correct the matter immediately. We appreciate your time and comments as they help us become a better team and business. I hope in the future you will consider staying with us again so we can exceed all your expectations on your next visit to town.

First off the staff was great and helpful the A/C in room not cooling at all barely blowing so we sweated in the bed no cold water what so ever scalding hot water for two days we suffered in these conditions had to put water bottles in freezer so we could put cold water while showering.

I'm sincerely sorry we did not meet your expectations with your recent stay with us. We researched these matter with Maintenance and due to the heat advisory at the time in Texas, the water was having trouble from the external forces keeping a lower temperature. We are researching how to prevent this from happening again in the future. The air conditioner has since been replaced in the room to prevent it from happening again and we are checking all AC units at this time. I understand how frustrating it can be for that amenity to not function properly as expected and I hope you will accept our apology. We hope you will consider staying with us again so we can exceed your expectations on your next visit.

Staff was great! Very helpful. The property was in good shape. Our room was clean. There was a sewer smell in our rooms which seemed to come from the kitchen sinks/disposal. The air conditioning had some issue but finally about midnight we called down to the office and a nice lady came up to reset it. It cooled off during the night eventually. Overall we will come back though due to the staff and the cleanliness of the hotel.

Thank you for your review as they help us improve as a team and business. I apologize for the odor from the disposal during your stay. I will get with maintenance and housekeeping to see what went wrong and how to prevent it from happening again. I also apologize about the AC having trouble, but very glad to hear the front desk assisted with with it. We will be researching the AC problem as well. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us in a clean, friendly environment! We hope you will stay with us again soon so we can exceed your expectations on your next visit.

King suite description needs change
There was confusion about the suite we booked. The king suite description has two possibilities but it isn’t clear when booking as both say king suite. We needed the suite with the separate living room and that is not what we got our first night. The hotel gave us that suite the second night however and it met our needs. Both suites were very nice.

Worth reviewing!
This was my first time giving sleep inn/mainstay a shot. And let me tell you, I don't regret it!! I plan to stay there again on my next trip around. When you enter the hotel it smells amaaazzinngly pleasing to your senses like a sweet aroma of cleanliness. The staff are very friendly,accommodating & welcoming. The dinning hall for breakfast is spacious, so sad though, that my stay was during when COVID was still a huge risk. Because of COVID the continental breakfast was/ is cancelled until management decides to bring it back, so call ahead of time and ask if breakfast will be available if its really a big matter to you. So that left me and the rest of the guest, with only coffee and yogurt to eat. The rooms though are the main reason one should consider staying. They are spacious, santized, and my room looked like they took care of how is appeared and the suite kitchenettes were just a bonus. My stay was peaceful and quiet at night and during the day. So, hopefully all who decide to stay based on my review, can recieve the same pleasant experience I did! These are just my simple and honest observations based on my stay & experience.
