MainStay Suites Cedar Rapids North - Marion

Nothing

Ants in the room, electricity only in half the room( the half with the kitchen), the door handle for the bathroom wouldn't open from inside the bathroom- I had to push on the handle really hard to get my daughter in law out. The room didn't look anything like the picture of it that was shown when booked.

Easy to get too off the main road, close to where we needed to be

There were ants in our hotel room, people left garbage bags in the hallway in the morning and they were still there in the evening time, the bed was small and not very comfortable, breakfast was non existent

Staff nice the elevator I wouldn’t use again

not a pleasant experience

The location and on site laundry however see below regarding laundry. Did like that there was a laundry basket in the room

Pool: shower/restroom never cleaned the 5 days we were there. Only 1 out of 5 days were there any towels. Pool water freezing. Also outside people seemed to come and go using the pool rooms restroom/shower due to the outside doors not latching or locking Laundry: only 1 working dryer, people took our clothes out to put theirs in even though we were constantly checking. Seemed like several residents there, need more laundry capabilities Carpets disgusting 3rd floor constantly smelled like weed Room for 4 but no linen for the pull out sofa, only 2 towels Beds were awful, woke up in pain daily We went through at least 6 different key cards. Issues from the first check in, front desk said they’d put a work order in, likely the batteries, we were locked out daily and told it was the cards being near electronics even though we kept in the key folder, the lock/door seemed to have issues. Large breakfast area to just have muffins. Misunderstood the free breakfast thinking it was an actual meal Poorly lit hallways made it seem dreadful and dingy Soft spots in the floor of hallway felt like we would fall through the floor No electric doors for handicapped or even to assist with getting the carts in and out

Nice staff, quiet. Right where we needed to be

Smoking allowed too close to main doors. Marijuana smell in elevator, windows old Hot air coming through windows

Nice rooms friendly staff

It had the basics, clean sheets, hot shower, coffee and basic grab and go breakfast.

Little dated, some transient things going on.
