My sister, Mom and I stayed for 4 days at the Mainstay Suites in Mt. Pleasant. The hotel was wonderful. I loved that our 2 queen suite was actually a suite with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The hotel was very clean and Amy at the front desk was wonderful. The hotel was easy to get to, the first exit... more

What a beautiful hotel!!!! I could tell that it was still undergoing a remodel, but boy were we surprised by the room. The decor was very modern and inviting. Our room had 3 plasma televisions, a full kitchen, and a sitting area. It worked great for our family. The new management and staff were very friendly and went out of... more

Absolutely beautiful place to stay. Very small pool (outdoors) and our water pressure was bad. Also the water was only luke warm no matter if you put the hot or cold water on.. BUT... it was really beautiful. We stayed in a two bedroom suite. It had a lovely mini kitchen, beautiful view, beautifully decorated. NO BUGS! and NO DINGYNESS... more

We apologize to the reviewers whose experience was not what they expected or deserved. Many changes have transpired at the hotel. A total renovation has been completed. Each studio suite and two bedroom suite has been completely remodeled, as well as the lobby and the 24 hour staffed front desk. Mainstay Suites is also being operated by a new management...

When we made our reservation (Wedding Party, 40 people) we were promised that the Hotel renovations would be complete and that we would all receive the newer rooms. No such luck and no aplology either. the rooms were dirty/dusty, there was mold in the bathroom, rats by the pool and in it on one ocassion, AC unit pooling water in... more

When you see an empty parking lot....that should be the first sign that things are only going to get worse. The staff is too concerned with their personal lives that there is no friendliness, hospitality or just plain out being cordial. We go up to the rooms, only to find out that the keys haven't been properly keyed. The rooms... more

I travel extensively and have arrived in the Charleston area back in February of 2007 and was horrified to see the hotel in poor shape as the name "Mainstay". However I arrived in December 2007, an have seen many wonderful changes. New Management, cleaner interior, new paint, new bathroom style, new repairs, cleaner landscape, pool area, fitness center and parking... more

This hotel is terrible!!! Credit Card fraud!!! I stayed at this hotel for an extended amount of time as an activated military member in 2005, 2006, and was unable to transfer due to the contract that the military had with this hotel. The maids clean the: Bathrooms, bedrooms, the kitchen with the same rag daily, and personal correction only yielded... more

We booked a room for one night when we extended our stay in Charleston. The Visitor Center recommended it over the remaing local ones that were still available. At a price of $89 I should have been concerned. Check in was smooth but you could tell the place was not clean. We went to the room to find it smelling... more

We came here after an awful experience at nearby Red Roof Inn. Front desk staff was very helpful and went way out of their way to get us set up. It was great to have separate rooms for the kids. Room had ceiling fans and AC which was a huge relief from the SC humidity! There is a mix of... more
