MainStay Suites Florence - Darlington

Location to raceway

Kinda needs updating outside

The beds were comfortable and it was pretty quiet. Traffic is muted very well.

NO BREAKFAST AT ALL!! The only 2 reasons I booked is it to be inexpensive because we won't be at the hotel often, and a free breakfast. They are still under renovation and it doesn't look like anything is getting renovated at all. Your shower must run for 30 minutes to get hot. That's 30 minutes of wasted water. That's a lot of water. The water is cold for those first 25 minutes. I would just call it no hot water in this hotel. You've been warned The room was dirty with items left over from previous guests. A dirty cup behind the bed and a forgotten charging block and cable, an open cat food container, a used bar of soap, 2 large knives under a cabinet, a leaking kitchenette sink, dirty bathroom exhaust fan, slow draining bathroom sink, no fresh towels daily, no vending machines, no cleaning service during our stay, parking lot is in extreme disrepair, and again, no breakfast. Just a Keurig in the main lobby. You get coffee in your room, but no coffee maker, no iron but it has an iron mount in the room. No hair dryer. The lighting at night in the corridors aren't too bright. The parking lot and entryway is in extreme disrepair. Pull in slowly. At least 5 MPH. There are also a lot of potholes and broken pavement. If you drive a low car or something fancy. Don't book here. You won't make it in their driveway. The bed though was extremely comfortable as were the pillows. The sheets are very thin. The TV has a learning curve to operate. But has all your standard channels. I don't trust the free wi-fi here at all. The hotel looks nothing like it does in the photos. It's under renovation and it has been apparently for over a year. The pool is empty and appears that way for a good while. There was a required $100 dollar refundable deposit they asked for before we received our room keys. This was not mentioned anywhere and it dipped into our vacation budget. Which was not ideal.

Nasty hotel Seen bugs in bed. I know that cleaners clean they can't help this

no breakfast

everything

So dirty and ghetto

The pictures looked great

free parking and thats it, this hotel was terrible

couldn't check in on time as room wasn't ready, mirror had fallen off the wall, dirty towels hanging on the back of the bathroom door, sink wouldn't drain, room wasn't vacuumed, counters weren't clean. overall, terrible experience

EXTREME PROBLEM WITH BUG INFESTATION, MAJOR NEED OF EXTERMINATOR, CIGARETTE BURNS EVERYWHERE IN THE ROOM

The room was spacious for a king room. It was more like a suite with a separate living area, two full baths and a kitchenette.

We were initially given a that someone was already living in- long term. The second room had not been cleaned before we were assigned a room we would accept. The water never really got as hot as I liked for it too but it was acceptable.
