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

I'm a business traveler and have spent the past year at hotels in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This was by far the worst experience I've had. To start off, I got to my Non-Smoking room, walked in, and immediately smelled smoke. I also noticed the room was extremely damp and musty smelling even thought the air conditioning was on. The sheets... more

Enjoyed my business stay at this hotel. Staff helpful and friendly. Room very clean. Lots of room. Quiet even though lots of families staying on the weekend. Would definitely stay there again. Great value with nice kitchen for small meals. Helen H, North Carolina more

First the bad news - The Mainstay advertised free high speed wireless internet, but the actual signal was almost impossible to receive, and when it was received, the signal was so weak, that many sites would time out.

Good location, but our room was dirty upon check-in. The front desk made no effort to clean the room for us.

Plenty of room for one person. Pleasant staff. Pool area is set off in a separate but attached building. I saw people in it at midnight having a great time and not disrupting others in hotel. Paid less than $75...well worth the price. more

Great little suites complete with all the gear to cook, eat and clean in your room. Continental breakfast was extensive with juice, cereals, and pastries. Location is great with several chain restaurants within a few blocks. 24 hour indoor pool and workout center is a plus. Perfect for the business or leisure traveler. more
