    A Wonderful Family Getaway!

    We had a fantastic one-night stay in a Queen Suite! The spacious room made it easy for our family to relax. Loved the pet-friendly policy and truck parking. Breakfast was a delightful surprise—so many tasty options! Pro tip, check the fridge for ice to save a trip!

    limited breakfast options

    Staying at Mainstay Suites was fun for our big family, especially with the kids. The spacious Queen Suite had a kitchen which made snack time easier. We loved being close to Jungle Rapids for some family excitement just 7 minutes away. The staff was friendly and helpful, making our stay even better.

    My kids wished the breakfast had more options for picky eaters. It would be great to have a wider variety of choices for breakfast, so everyone can find something they like.

    Choosing this place while moving my daughter into UNCW was a great decision. The room was spacious with a nice kitchen area, and the staff were very accommodating when we noticed a smoke smell in the non-smoking room. The proximity to the university and local dining options made our stay convenient, and we enjoyed a pleasant breakfast each morning.

    Definitely a decent choice for families

    Staff was really friendly and helpful, which made the stay more pleasant. The room was clean and spacious enough for my family to relax, and the kitchen amenities were a nice touch for late-night snacks.

    It wasn’t a bargain, but for what we got it was still acceptable.

    variety of breakfast options
    unjust charges
    poor communication

    My stay at Mainstay Suites exceeded my expectations, especially given the need for an affordable option near UNCW. The room was impressive, featuring a full kitchen, a comfortable sitting area, and two spacious beds. The cleanliness was commendable, and there was a handy list of items available for extended stays, which would be beneficial for longer visits. The breakfast offered various choices, and the location was convenient for accessing both the university and downtown Wilmington.

    I was charged for my emotional support animals despite assurances they would not be.
