Very easy checking in and getting into room. Was very surprised the room layout was just like the pictures. 2 beds and a pullout was just what I needed and just what I reserved. That was very nice. The young lady at the front desk was very into her tic tok videos because each time I went to the front desk, she was so mesmerized by whatever she was watching she could not look up or even recognize I was standing less than a foot away from her. Wasn’t really worried about this, it was more funny than anything. My big complaint is that the second picture for this place shows a beautiful pool with several watersides. Come to find out that this does not exist. Shame on you Mainstay for tricking your guests like this. I should have known better but how can you get away with this kind of sorcery??? Why not just advertise your rates at $5 and tell your potential guests “free unlimited craft beers”?? While I was satisfied with the service and the stay, I do not appreciate being bamboozled by fake pictures and false pretenses. I’m curious how many others were lured here thinking they were going to enjoy the festivities only to be let down by walking out into the courtyard and finding cornhole instead of a water park🤔

This hotel is great but Expedia is full of lies. There is no pool here. That photo is a city park. When I notified them they refused to fix the misleading photo. Stay at this hotel but book through their website and not Expedia.

Upon checking it looked like it was going to be great. Late in the evening there was a terrible smell in the room. Like badly burnt popcorn. My wife could not sleep but we turned on the fans and put up with it. Smell gone in the morning. The next day we returned to our room in the early evening and all was good but shortly the smell came back. We reported it to the lobby staff and they came to inspect. They noticed it as well but couldn’t offer any solutions. We asked for another room but were told that was not possible because they were booked. It didn’t seem that busy so we checked online and rooms were available. Staff said to book it but at our expense. We asked for management to be advised and apparently they were and again offered no solution. Very disappointed mostly with the lack of concern and willingness to correct when they had options. The refrigerator was noisy that last night and may have been the problem as it may be going bad. Not sure but terrible customer service. I may have rated them too high.

It’s actually surprisingly nice stay for the Cave tour on the next morning. The room is good very size. It has a clean and nice bathroom, together with a small but full kitchen. They have a very small fitness area but only good for simple workouts or just cardio. Overall a great stay.

Property has pictures of a “water park” that’s 15 minutes down the road. It’s NOT apart of the hotel. It smells like wet dog. Bed sheets were dirty. Head board had sticky splatters on it. Once we told the lady down stairs she said “housekeeping knows. They are getting new ones” Absolutely filthy carpets and even more disgusting bathrooms.
