Ratings and reviews
6.0 / 10.0
Everyone at Mainstay is very nice and pleasant. But the property serves a purpose - my stay wasn't bad but comfort could be improved. The property is older and you can tell, which many may not have issue with. When it came to water pressure in the shower, the sink faucets were too short for the sink, items not working (lamps, fans), these things were lacking. Bedding was comfortable, air conditioner worked great (though noisy but I'll take working well in the high heat over noise), good wifi access, nice breakfast, and tv choice. I did see a roach in the hall but no other pests or something 'gross'. I never felt unsafe as there are cameras everywhere, and there are several security features on the door (it beeps if open too long). I will note that for the time I was there, the two buildings were all male construction crews and I was the only female guest that I saw. Again never felt unsafe but could be unnerving for some people.

The lobby & staff are across the parking lot at a different hotel called comfort inn that is also where the pool is located. There is a public bar at the entrance of the mainstay hotel

Check in was in a different hotel across the street. Bedding was not in the room for sofa bed. Building was in desperate need of a makeover. Generally did not look clean.

Horrible experience!! Our phone did not work . No iron nor blow dryer in the room. The ice machine was broken. We got locked out of our room the second night we were there. The clerk deactivated our room keys and only checked us in for one night instead of two!! We were Inconvenienced To have to go to the front desk not once but twice to get our room keys to work!! What a joke!! I do NOT RECOMMEND this hotel.

The room/suite was huge and had a kitchenette with full sized fridge. It was clean enough for us. The balcony was horrible... bird and dog poop.. plus just filthy with spider webs and dirt.
The pool was clean. The buffet breakfast was awesome. Best part was LISA at the front desk who was super sweet, kind and helpful. Also we requesyed more towels and they brought right away. Oh... the room a/c was very good... esp important since days were in the 100's.

I was very happy with the comfort of the property. There was a full size refrigerator in the room, and cooking facilities. For a one night stopover it was great.
The area around the hotel is a bit desolate, but if you just need a night’s rest, it’s great.

The building shows its age. The room smelled of bleach when we first checked in but that is understandible concerning todays Covid cleaning requirements. Overall the room was clean, comfortable and quiet. I would stay there again.

I really wanted to like this property however we found a huge roach in the bathroom. We where moved to another room but by then we just didn't feel comfortable.

The beds where comfortable but the cleanliness could be better. Even updated a little. Our AC broke a d the staff immediately sent a handy man who was polite. He had mentioned that we needed to be moved to another room. The other room was comfortable as well. It’s a ok stay just needs some cleaning and updating.

Generally clean and presentable. Housekeeping missed a couple sharp pebbles with their vacuum. Those hurt like the devil when I stepped on them.

Mainstay Suites in El Centro was an unexpected pleasure. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The room was bigger than I expected and more reminiscent of a junior suite at a timeshare. Our stay was on New Year's eve and was nice that Mainstay has an onsite bar. There was even a free New Year's Eve party in the courtyard. In the morning, the free continental breakfast included not only the usual fare of coffee, juice and pastries, but also had breakfast sandwiches, Belgian waffles, hard boiled eggs and yogurt.Good deal even for the Friday night and holiday weekend rate of $139. Will be coming back for a 2 night weekday rate in the near future.

Amazing, it was spacious & so comfortable. It’s exactly how it’s pictured. We stayed for 4 nights & every night was wonderful & it’s conveniently located around a lot of places to eat. We also were able to make dinner in the room because of the kitchenette.

Basic stay. Busy place, it has the check in desk at the hotel next door. At first we got a poor perception due to dirty interior walls but the rooms were fine. AC was freezing cold, had a fridge, microwave, and stove in the room. Bed, couch, lots of room. Not a 5-star but workable. Has an outside courtyard outside the sliding patio door so it's great if you have multiple families gathering.

Conveniently located near family. Size of room was nice.
We didn't like a phone call from the lobby to confirm our stay. Never have we ever had anyone or any hotel call us to confirm our arrival. We were given a room across the parking lot in the second building were they had loud music playing from 10 pm to 2 am. When my husband called to find out how long they were going to be playing
loud music, they were willing to move us to the first building, which they could have done when we checked in. We had full Trash can in our room too! Receptionist offered to move us to first building, but Husband didn't want to go Naked. It was late. His plan was to write or call Bobby the manager but your company sent this request first so we are responding. We don't plan on staying here again unless it is for Free.
