The front desk staff was courteous and friendly. The room had a smell but seemed clean. Breakfast was also good.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,000 reviews)
Compared to my first visit, this stay came with a few challenges. The shower wasn’t properly cleaned, and I had to call maintenance for both the showerhead and the safe. The headboard also appeared to be torn, and the restaurants closed at midnight, which was disappointing since nightlife was the main reason I chose The Main. I would consider staying again, but the accommodations were not top-notch.
