I like the room it was great. I book here because of it had a swimming pool (it was dirty and not even ready to be used. I wanted breakfast it did not have anything just coffee o hot water for tea. It look like it’s getting renovated because just some rooms were available. I hope when they finish it like the picture on the website.

Mainstay, Florence SC

This place was almost scary. I had strange people knocking on my door and I was verbally accosted by guest drinking on the balcony. They took a $100 deposit which I have yet to get back. The room was dank and cold and I couldn’t wait to check out. I am extremely disappointed. This place should not even be open as there was construction everywhere and the lobby was in shambles. Also, no breakfast was served as advertised because everything was in disarray.

“Free breakfast” was a brown bag with crackers and a tasty cake. Better than nothing but like c’mon man. Also place was under construction and I’m not sure anyone cleaned the shower. Also toilet was clogged when we got there but they left me a plunger so I guess it worked out.

The pool looked like the ooze the ninja turtles fell in. The room I had was newly renovated but didn’t have hot water at the sink. Loud guests. Weed smoke coming in through the air vent. They give you a half a sheet to cover up with… save your self the trouble. This is definitely on my never to return list

The bathroom was dirty. The outside of the property is filthy and the door numbers were indicated by dark blue painters tape. I was given no directions on how to get to my room so I spent 15 minutes walking around trying to figure out where to go. Just an awful experience. Thankful for the refund.

The breakfast that they our advertising came in a brown paper bag with a tiny water, a small packet of crackers and a tiny mini muffin. Also, the floors of the walkways of the motel are dirty. I think it's under new ownership and they are remodeling but a brown paper bag for breakfast? Really? Not sure what the coffee maker was all about, pretty amateur looking if you ask me. Not able to drink the nasty coffee. My room didn't have a number on it. Hopefully they get there act together. Also, didn't really feel that safe.

Disgusting facility

The place was unbelievable disgusting. Mattress stained, there was trash all over the facility. A moldy chair was left outside. A housekeeping cart was left abandoned outside. This was the most unsanitary facility I’ve ever seen.

What a dump! This hotel should not be open at all. There is a huge dumpster in the back that is full of residential type trash. I think the hotel is subsidizing houses for their workers and that's where they're putting their trash. We saw several rats coming to and from the dumpster towards the building. The whole property stinks inside and out. The room was dank and unclean. The free breakfast that was advertised was non-existent. I do not believe I would have ate it anyway looking at the conditions of this property. On top of all of this I was charged an extra fee to pay cash at the hotel when I got there but the hotel charged the full amount to my card anyway. When I spoke to the clerk I was told to contact the third party in which I booked the room from but the hotel was the one that charged my card. If there was ever going to be a show called quote Hotel nightmares"? This would be the premier episode. Do not stay here, you have been warned!

Place is actively renovating. Employees not English fluent. I was sent to 3 rooms to “check if they were ready” eventually given a “suite” with missing curtains and moldy chair in bedroom. Common area littered with construction trash, guest trash and overall dirty. And no breakfast

Not worth your time

The hotel wasn't clean and they charged my credit card after I left. After viewing the room, I turned the key in and told them I wanted to cancel the reservation. The room cost 88 dollars but put a 100 dollar holding fee for the room, which wasn't returned.

I think this is family owned and the staff tries their best to be friendly. They upgraded me to a suite which was essentially 2 rooms in 1. The room has minimal cosmetic upgrade, the floor was dirty, no towels, no shower curtain, nothing in the room works! Morning breakfast was a brown bag with snacks from Costco! Maybe they need more time before they open for business.

This hotel was not a typical MainStay Suites. It looks like they took over a local run down motel and put their name on it. You can tell they are doing some renovations, but even the rooms that are already renovated still need some work. Our bathroom door was coming apart at the bottom and did not have a locking door knob. The door knob on the inside of the bathroom door was covered in dry plaster. Our front door did not lineup with the door frame properly and needed some extra muscle to get it to close all the way. The tub had a large rectangular white stick on cover up an area of the tub that was scraped or messed up somehow, but didn't even cover all the marks. The ad for the hotel said breakfast was included. Unless a liquid coffee breakfast is your thing, there was nothing else provided. The eat in area where I assume breakfast might normally be served was blocked off. I booked 2 non-smoking rooms, yet one of them smelled like a smoke factory. When asked for a different room, they claimed they were full and came down with some kind of fragrance spray. They sprayed the curtain and area over the fan/blower and said, "There you go." What the heck? And there was an outlet in one room, right next to the bed that did not work at all. I would not stay here again and makes me question the MainStay Suites brand now.

Lipstick on a pig

This place is being renovated and let’s just say it’s like putting lipstick on a pig. Some major points just were not addressed. Paint peeling off doors, it looked like someone had previously tried to break into the room I was in. I hate to think of what it looked like 5 years ago though so they’ve definitely made improvements. The coat of paint and new furniture do look alright and the exterior was alright.
