I often use Priceline to book hotels. You can get some really GREAT rates through the "name your own price" feature, but you have to be willing to suck it up a little bit if you put in that you will accept anything 3 star or 2 star. I had never heard of "Mainstay Suites" though Priceline states that they only use national brands. (It is a national brand, I guess, just not a very popular one.) For $29/night (about $40 with tax) you can't ask for much. The hotel was NOT that bad but it definatly could use an update on the dingyness of the rooms. It seemed well vacuumed and pretty clean (the bathroom was very clean), but the old, ripped carpet, the peeling wallpaper, the icky stuff around the sealant in the shower, were kind of turn offs. That said, the rooms are HUGE. In fact, it's like a large studio apartment with a living room/kitchen and bedroom, both of which had their own televisions and dvd player. The kitchen is a full kitchen complete with full refridgerator, stove area, dishwasher, and sink. If you are really, really particular about where you stay this might not be the place for you, but if you just need relatively comfortable place to sleep at a cheap rate then I would recommend the Mainstay Charlotte to you. Not in the greatest area, but close to 77. Can be loud if there are partiers in other rooms. The staff was friendly at the front desk.

I was extremely concerned about staying here due to the negattive feedback. I came into a nice clean lobby area and friendly staff. Was checked in quickly and found my room to be nice & spacious. I was SO glad I ended up getting a room here. It was a quiet room, I could not hear any other guest in the halls, etc. It was clean. I can not even think of something to complain about. It's also right beside the other hotels that charge twice as much. So obviously location is not bad. I would stay here again and again!

Hotel was dirty. Walls in our room were stained. Carpet was old and smelly and to top it off we had what appeared to be a bullet hole in our window. We moved to another hotel on the first night.

The hotel was nice and clean. The staff was wonderful and very customer focused. I enjoyed the environment and felt safe since I am a female who was traveling alone. The breakfast variety was great. I will definitely stay there in the future.

Good CHOISE HOTELS.

Yes they are a good choise if you want the following:

No Clean Towles every day
No Cleaning of your room
No Toilet paper
No Clean sheets
No Customer service
No Refunds
Rusted pots and pans
VHS player in your room. (Who rents VHS or who has any)??? Hmmmmmm

Maybe good for 1 or 2 nights but not a good choise for long term stays.

You would be better off at the local SOUP KITCHEN......
