Quality Suites Maingate East review

[wdwnutze]

We stayed there for 3 nights last week. Arrived about 11:30pm on Thanksgiving night. The man at the front desk was fine but not friendly or even pleasant. He was not rude or anything but seemed to be tired and not happy with his job. We took no offense at this. He gave us our room number and showed us how to get there on a map. Room 138. We overlooked the pool bar and were very close to the lobby and the room that they served breakfast in. The room was clean but somewhat worn. There was a stain on the carpet where it looks like someone spilled fruit punch and in front of the door was a little worn. The beds had very clean, bright white sheets on them. The suite consisted of a living area with a couch, table and chairs, and a tv. Then there was a kitchenette with a 2 burner stove, microwave, small frig, and a dishwasher. It was adequate to make eggs for breakfast and sandwhiches for lunch Really helped save the budget.The bedroom had 2 double beds andc a chair. Plenty of closet space and an in room safe. The free breakfast was fine for the kids but the 2 adults are low-carbers so there wasn't much for us. The offerings were: cold cereal, hot cereal, orange slices, peach slices, english muffins, cinnamon rolls, muffins and waffles. Also, oj, apple juice, tea, and coffee. This was served from 6:30-9:30 daily. The pool was fine. Nothing fancy but it was heated and the kids enjoyed it. There was a hot tub too. Although I liked the location of our room, the music from the pool bar was loud at night. We couldn't hear it in the bedroom though and it never kept us awake. My 11yo dd slept on the pull out sofa. I was going to but it was bad! The matress needed to be replaced because it was worn out. Again, she slept there every night and said it was fine. Overall, I think it was a great value for the money ($79.95incl. brkfst). I would not plan to use the pull out sofa for an adult though. Hope I've helped someone out with this review.

Thanks for the review. We stayed there in March 2002. I'd pretty much agree with everything you said.

We felt that the room where breakfast is served was rather cramped. After the first 2 days, we just got the food and took it back to our suite.

We were on the top floor so pool noise wasn't an issue (plus it was March so hardly anyone was in the pool) and I don't recall hearing music from the bar. I guess it was off-season.

Overall, a decent place to stay when the price is right. On our next trip in Nov. 2002 we stayed next door at the Days Suites which I think was an even better value. We paid $39.95 there. It didn't include breakfast, but we didn't care at that price.
