What guests think

Across reviews, MainStay Suites Emporia is often described as clean and good value, with roomy suites featuring kitchenettes and easy check-in, plus a convenient location near dining and major roads.

However, several guests note dated furnishings, maintenance issues, and noise from the highway or HVAC. Staff are frequently friendly and helpful, though a few report unprofessional interactions and administrative hassles such as card-key problems. Breakfast is inconsistent or very limited, and amenities like ice availability appear uneven. Expect a functional, budget-friendly stay with some trade-offs.

There was no ice machine, the door wouldn't shut to the bathroom, the remote was working part time and the channels on the tv limited. When I asked for a receipt they were unable to produce one. The price was jacked up with taxes that made it way higher than the motel was worth.

Nice kitchenette if you want to prepare food. Lots of TV channels. But our room smelled odd not sure if what the smell was and the door stuck so it was hard to open and you had to make sure you pushed it shut.

There was a cockroach in the bathroom. The hotel also charged $50/pet which wasn’t disclosed anywhere until time of payment. We had two well behaved, clean dogs with us so the price felt extreme and unnecessary. It was not worth the stay.

This hotel was OK for a one-night stay but wouldn't want to stay longer. Bed was saggy, other general repair issues, lack of USB ports, plugs embedded in the lamp were coming loose so I didn't want to risk plugging my laptop into it. Lots of road noise, but you get that when near a highway.

One night stay for travel. Second time we have stayed there and will again. Full kitchen is nice. Does not have breakfast but in their binder in each room with information, it does say 'pick up your bagged' breakfast. Apparently, they no longer offer that according to the receptionist.

This hotel was just what my friend and I needed. We were in town for homecoming and weren’t planning on staying the night. The cold and rain changed our plans.
