Both of my wife's adult children live in Cedar Rapids, and her daughter was unable to travel to our house in a small town in northwest Illinois to celebrate Christmas, which is our annual tradition. So my wife, my mother-in-law, and I decided to take our Christmas festivities to Cedar Rapids. The MainStay Suites was the perfect place for us... More

I traveled to Cedar Rapids on business and stayed at the MainStay. I love the kitchen area as I like to go back from my meeting and relax and not have to go out to eat. They didn't do any housekeeping except by request which was perfect to me!!

If you plan to be in Cedar Rapids for a week or more, you will find the rooms here clean and a fair value. However don't expect any frills or even any maid service to clean the room, bring fresh towels, empty trash, etc. How can request fresh towels at the front desk, however. There is a clean pool, however... More

This hotel was very clean. The rooms have a full size frig and stovetop so I didn't have to eat out. The staff was very friendly and the price was great. I would definately recommend this hotel if you are in the area.

This hotel has a stove, refrigerator and dishwasher with dishes. I went to the grocery store, got a few things and the entire time I was there, was able to save the money I would have spent eating out. They do have breakfast like everyone else but since I like to work while I eat so I can get home... More

While Mainstay Suites gives you a kitchenette, I will never stay there again unless the Hampton is booked. The problems are: 1. the layout of the room -- The bed is jammed in between the outer wall and the closet. 2. You can... More

By far the worst customer service ever imaginable, and along with a management team that doesn't know the first thing about guest satisfaction. I noticed the first problem the day after arriving when we opened up the blinds to see a LARGE leak coming from the window, dripping on our gifts for Christmas. Problem was never resolved because the front... More

This hotel mischarged my debit card by $705.00!!! I have not recieved 1 apology and I am still trying to get my money credited. The manager has refused to call me back or correct this in a timely manner. I have contacted the corporate office 5 times and the hotel to many times to count. I would not stay with... More

The Mainstay is a good affordable option for travelers. The hotel is new, decorated nicely and feels warm when you enter the mains door. Even though the rooms are suites, our room looked and felt institutional. I felt like I was staying in a hospital suite. The bed was kind of hard and I didn't sleep real well. I would... More
