I would not let my worst enemy stay here. The place was dirty and the rooms smelled. They didnt give us the rooms we had booked. We canceled on the spot. This place needs to be condemned and torn down. It is nothing like advertised on line.

This “hotel” was absolutely disgraceful. It shouldn’t even be open for business. Expedia should not even list this as a property. Check in was at 3pm didn’t get in till 630pm. Get to hotel ceiling tile is falling out of the entrance. Looks abandoned. Gets into room absolutely foul flour is sticky nothing is clean shower is covered in dirt and backing up dirty water. Cigarette burns all over the place. Furniture looks like it was picked up on the side of the road. We had to go buy our own bleach and wipes to clean the place to be able to shower. Walked around in shoes the whole stay. Lock to door was broken off. I have so many pictures of this awful motel hotel.

Worst ever!!

False Advertising!! The property looked nothing like the photos online. It was a motel that appeared to be subsidized housing. We checked in. Should have been clued in by lobby which was smelly with boxes lying around. Drove around to the room, and after seeing the conditions immediately checked out.

“Free breakfast” was a brown bag with crackers and a tasty cake. Better than nothing but like c’mon man. Also place was under construction and I’m not sure anyone cleaned the shower. Also toilet was clogged when we got there but they left me a plunger so I guess it worked out.

Mainstay, Florence SC

This place was almost scary. I had strange people knocking on my door and I was verbally accosted by guest drinking on the balcony. They took a $100 deposit which I have yet to get back. The room was dank and cold and I couldn’t wait to check out. I am extremely disappointed. This place should not even be open as there was construction everywhere and the lobby was in shambles. Also, no breakfast was served as advertised because everything was in disarray.

The pool looked like the ooze the ninja turtles fell in. The room I had was newly renovated but didn’t have hot water at the sink. Loud guests. Weed smoke coming in through the air vent. They give you a half a sheet to cover up with… save your self the trouble. This is definitely on my never to return list

Disgusting facility

The place was unbelievable disgusting. Mattress stained, there was trash all over the facility. A moldy chair was left outside. A housekeeping cart was left abandoned outside. This was the most unsanitary facility I’ve ever seen.
