This is a newer hotel that is not being maintained very well. The room was not clean. There were crumbs on the nightstand and the floors had not been mopped. Staff was friendly. I was glad I was only staying one night.

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.

This was a nice and clean place to stay that was close to the college. Very, very nice and helpful staff, trying to do way too much with very little support. Continental breakfast was okay for the value (surprisingly good gravy and biscuits I must say!). The pool could have been a little cleaner (it really needs a going-over), but overall we were very happy with our stay.

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 !

Nice hotel, Neighborhood questionable?

Brand new hotel, nice fenced parking area, but it fenced for a reason. I felt a little uneasy in the neighborhood. Also my room smelled like cigarettes.

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.

Very clean and modern. No gross carpet anywhere. Tile and luxury vinyl planking only. Quiet. Breakfast was standard....could use some more fruit or fresh items. Staff was very friendly and kind. Parking was easy. Very close to UC. We did not use the pool.
