It really needs to be updated and cleaned. I felt so grossed out there that I didn't want to shower there. My family and I got up the next morning and got on the road--we ate fast food and showered at our next hotel. The front desk manager was kind and the rooms are spacious, but I will never stay at a MainStay Suites again. First and last time.

It's a very nice apartment like hotel room. We didn't see any bugs and it had no bad smell in the room. The sheets did have a few marks on them that could have been stains and the room could use a good dusting but overall we was comfortable and satisfied.

Obviously, cleanliness and proper maintenance is disregarded. Skipped provided breakfast because the place was so dirty. Check in staff mumbled softly and showed no enthusiasm for her job. Rates were pushed artificially high due to graduation ceremonies at UT. Not acceptable.

Horrible stay

There was a tick infestation in the room we picked over 15 ticks off ofb ourselves when we talk to the manager The only thing they did was offer us another room a downgraded room cheaper than the one we originally paid for they did not try to do anything to compensate us or make up for the problems that we had there was drug deals going on outside off of the balcony in the parking lot All the lighting in the parking lot was not working there was a homeless person living behind the dumpster All this was addressed to that stuff but yet nothing was done to make up for all the problems The staff was actually very rude over the issues.

The bathroom shower was moldy and the bathroom sink would not drain. It was disgusting to say the least. The coffee pot had old moldy coffee in the area to place the coffee pack. So we could not even make a cup of coffee. The sheets were scratchy and rough. Only 2 towels for two people.

Price was great. We got the full suite & it had plenty of room. Comfortable. The breakfast was not as advertised. We went out & cooked our own. Coffee was either cold or empty every time I went for a cup. Not a good supply of condiments like shampoo or soaps. We bought our own due to their selection was terrible. The lighting was very dim. A lot we didn’t like but the things we did like were important. One important thing we noticed we didn’t like was the couch covering needed to be cleaned. It looked as if something personal was left on both cushions & dried on there. Nasty! We stayed away from the furniture! I didn’t complain about it because we didn’t stay in our room long enough to use any of the furniture except to sleep & shower. Those accommodations were well equipped for us. Wish they were better stocked with utensils as well. It was hard to cook with a loose spatula, and loose spoon.
