The staff was very nice and helpful. We were only there for one night, but out of 7 people, and 3 rooms, none of us had a complaint. The continental breakfast was great, the dining area was a bit small, but overall, very clean. It was a great location surrounded by plenty of restaurants and stores. I will stay there... More

We enjoyed a couple nights at the Main Stay in Wilmington, NC. It was affordable and comfortable. Having the kitchenette is a nice plus to keep your drinks and snacks cold. Staying on Ocean Front was much too expensive so this was a much better idea. Good location, near restaurants, downtown and the ocean.

Upon arrival, the Mainstay appeared to be clean and nice. After we checked in we found many things we didn't particularly like. First of all, the elevator is old and feels unsafe. Smoking rooms are close to nonsmoking rooms and our nonsmoking room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. Smoking was allowed in the elevator, and halls. The bathroom had mold... More

Stayed here a couple of months ago and it was OK. This time the kitchen floor had footprints from heavy duty boots, torn upholstery on the couch, a broken down recliner AND ROACHES. Checked out early and the girl tried hard to be surprised. She told me they don't offer the 100% SATISFACTION guarantee anymore as they have replaced it... More

I stayed at Mainstay Inn in Wilmington in July. Although I was assured of a no smoking room, I was placed in a smoking room on a smoking floor. I was told it was non-smoking. I am very allergic to smoke and became very ill. I continued to complain and asked to be moved. I then found other accomodations and... More

A fantastic stay for a quick get-away, and reasonably priced. I especially enjoyed the suite's layout with the island table within the kitchen looking into the lounge area. Bedroom is separate from lounge area with a television and phone in each location. All rooms were very clean and the staff was very courteous. I couldn't have picked a better location... More
