Across reviews, The Mayton is praised for its charming feel and walkable downtown Cary location by the park, with friendly staff and comfortable, spacious rooms, though some mention sparse decor during renovations and occasional noise from the bar or events.
Parking on-site is limited, leading many to use nearby public lots, and some reported the bar or restaurant being closed for private events or holidays. Cleanliness is generally strong, though a few reviews note maintenance snags or worn areas. Expect a charming, walkable boutique stay with lively surroundings and some operational quirks.

Beautiful location, professional and accommodating staff, comfortable rooms. We didn't realize that the hotel was under renovation when we booked our room, however, they are doing a great job keeping the disturbances from the renovation to a minimum. The hotel had an issue with the fire alarm system the night we stayed and the management quickly addressed our concern in a satisfactory way.

Arrived 20 minutes before official check in and instead of the desk clerk checking to see if the room was ready for occupancy she stated I could not check in before 3 pm. Website stated free parking. The Mayton had only 7 parking places I was told and the other parking options were across the busy street or further down the road in a parking deck. I was given the option of storing my luggage while I parked the car.

I had to wait 20 minutes to check in because the man at the desk was on the phone. I was then told that the restaurant and bar would not be opens. I had been counting on meeting family there for drinks, but had to figure out a new plan. I wish I had know before booking. Then when I get to the room, for the price, it was not anything special. No robes as advertised. The thermostat was on at 80 degrees (it was a very warm day out in NC); however, there was no way to change the temp, definitely no a/c and I couldn’t open the windows. When asked about the temp, the rude person at the desk said there was no way to change it. To top it all off, there was a company party there and the band was extremely loud, even the room was shaking from the booming. I had to call the town of Cary due to noise ordinance since it was 10pm. Overall, I would say, definitely stay somewhere else, especially if you are planning to have a nice relaxing visit.

Stay was nice but any time we have stayed before, we received breakfast with the booking. This time we did not. (And paid more than previous stays) Do not book on a holiday because restaurant/bar will be closed. We used to love staying here but advantages to book here are dwindling over time. Only perk I see now, is location. (Downtown Cary is great)

Would be so much better with valet parking. Doorman seems to be part time. A marketing consulting company in Charlotte who specializes in revitalizing downtowns recently said at a meeting in Lumberton that The Mayton was failing due to lack of convenient parking facilities. You may want to look into those sort of negative comments. It is a drawback, especially when guests have baggage.

I booked a 1 night stay at the hotel for my wife for a doctors appointment at Duke. She came home with several Bed bug bites that showed up the next day and now we are having to deal with that. Ridiculous for a 4.5 star expensive hotel. Also she had the hotel smelled of mildew.

I have been here plenty of times before. The place feels a little run over. Not as boutique as it was once when they started. The rooms carpet was dirty. Can see the dark prints left on your feet. There was not an ounce of decor on the walls. The feel of the room being in this town is still there but somewhat disconnected to once what it was. Maybe it was this particular room I had. I remember it being warm and luxurious at one point.

The Hotel entrance is very nice and the staff was very helpful. Unfortunately, we weren't happy that there was no parking and that we had to put our car in a lot across the street where it could possibly get vandalized. The room was adequate but for the cost I had expected it to be bigger. Our bed made noise every time we moved. The toilet was not secured properly and felt like it was going to come off the floor. We ate at the restaurant in the hotel for breakfast (which didn't open until 8am which seemed late to us). The omelets were awful. There was so much cheese that we peeled the egg off in order to eat it. My husband's breakfast came with grits that were seasoned for dinner and not breakfast. To add to this, the coffee was brown water. We did not return to the restaurant for any additional meals. Our accommodations were no better than the Double Tree (which was actually better). We would not recommend it especially since it is so much more expensive. Very disappointing.

We love Cary and the Mayton is the most perfect hotel! We honeymooned there 5 years ago and have made it a tradition to come back every year! We are now the grateful yet exhausted parents of 2 wonderful babies and the Mayton was the perfect location for us to get a little break and relax. It’s quiet, super clean, and beautiful! Will definitely be back again!

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a weekend getaway and we loved it! Our room was so beautiful and very romantic. It was very clean with a super comfortable king bed and a big soaker tub in the bathroom. There is some construction going on but we were forewarned about that several times and they quit by 5pm so it wasn't bothersome. I would definitely stay again!

The room is not like what it appears on pictures. There are no art works at all on the wall, and even no head board for beds. Front desk explained that was because of the renovation going on. But no updated information on website. And the room rate is still so high. It's not worth it. Will not stay here next time.

Some rooms can get a bit noisy at night if the bar is open, but the rooms come equipped with built in sound machines which was really useful to dull the outside noise. Overall, we would stay again!

There was an event going on that blocked all streets around the hotel. A gentleman called a couple of days before and informed us and told us to call when we got here and they would tell us how to park at the hotel. Well we did and the woman at the front desk told us she didn't kniw anything and maybe we could park at the library and walk. Unacceptable.

Great vibe — elegant and cozy (but not stuffy). The hotel location drew us and did not disappoint. The Downtown Cary Park is easily accessible! Also walked to restaurants a few blocks away.

I had to wait 20 minutes to check in because the man at the desk was on the phone. I was then told that the restaurant and bar would not be opens. I had been counting on meeting family there for drinks, but had to figure out a new plan. I wish I had know before booking. Then when I get to the room, for the price, it was not anything special. No robes as advertised. The thermostat was on at 80 degrees (it was a very warm day out in NC); however, there was no way to change the temp, definitely no a/c and I couldn’t open the windows. When asked about the temp, the rude person at the desk said there was no way to change it. To top it all off, there was a company party there and the band was extremely loud, even the room was shaking from the booming. I had to call the town of Cary due to noise ordinance since it was 10pm. Overall, I would say, definitely stay somewhere else, especially if you are planning to have a nice relaxing visit.

Stay was nice but any time we have stayed before, we received breakfast with the booking. This time we did not. (And paid more than previous stays) Do not book on a holiday because restaurant/bar will be closed. We used to love staying here but advantages to book here are dwindling over time. Only perk I see now, is location. (Downtown Cary is great)

The Hotel entrance is very nice and the staff was very helpful. Unfortunately, we weren't happy that there was no parking and that we had to put our car in a lot across the street where it could possibly get vandalized. The room was adequate but for the cost I had expected it to be bigger. Our bed made noise every time we moved. The toilet was not secured properly and felt like it was going to come off the floor. We ate at the restaurant in the hotel for breakfast (which didn't open until 8am which seemed late to us). The omelets were awful. There was so much cheese that we peeled the egg off in order to eat it. My husband's breakfast came with grits that were seasoned for dinner and not breakfast. To add to this, the coffee was brown water. We did not return to the restaurant for any additional meals. Our accommodations were no better than the Double Tree (which was actually better). We would not recommend it especially since it is so much more expensive. Very disappointing.

This is a really nice hotel in a lovely town. The staff was very attentive and helpful, and the room was fine. We ate a few meals at the restaurant and at the bar, and the food was very well prepared and presented.

The property is beautiful and in a great location but over-priced considering there are virtually no amenities offered. The restaurant and bar were closed the evening we were there so that was disappointing.
