MainStay Suites Wilmington - University Area

8/10 Good

"This hotel started out good but kinda folded. Staff is very friendly and tries hard to be helpful. We needed a blanket for the pull out and they provided no problem etc. the property is def dated . The upholstered furniture in room is semi clean not great: sink wasn’t draining properly & water pressure is low. Mattresses are not great. The hallway carpet is super dirty. As are the stairs which we saw since the elevator broke second day in. And they only have one… & we were on third floor…I did ask if we were able to switch to first fl and they said yes but we weren’t staying long enough to go to all the hassle. I was amazed that they said it wouldn’t be fixed for days…I mean in wilmington there must be an emergency repair man?? Anyway that sucked . The breakfast is very spartan . Just the basics cereal oatmeal and waffle maker , muffins and breads yogurt … They also allow people to smoke right beside the front entrance and by the door in the rocking chairs . I don’t know if these were guests or employees. But it was kinda gross . Thought you had to be away so many feet but maybe not in NC? I assumed this was a non smoking facility so… Anyway the hotel needs maintainance. They own the Sleep inn next door so you have to use that pool. Plus their ice machines."
