    It is important to note that the hotel is basic. Nothing fancy- including no elevator to the rooms on the second floor. It isn't a ton of steps but there are certainly steps. I wasn't disturbed by the noise but I could see that weekends might get a little loud outside. Running the fan or ear plugs might not be a bad idea.

    I found the hotel to be clean, the staff were very nice, and the location and price can't be beat. Yes, parking is a bit of a hassel but the hotel is in the middle of all the action. I thought the bed was comfortable, the heating and air conditioning worked well and the shower pressure and temperature were good.

    Rooms are small but clean and comfortable. It’s a basic, no frills hotel with lots of potential. Looks as if most rooms have had fresh paint and upgrade to bedding and curtains recently.

    In town for a wedding - the location was great! Cute town with lots of breweries and shops.

    • Queen Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Rooms are VERY small. No chair. No desk. I didn't try the wi-fi or TV, so can't comment. Big TV. View of my room was a square/parking lot. Had a Christmas tree and Santa House on it during my stay, so that was nice to look at the tree. Facility is old, and shows it. Shower water fluctuated from hot to cold without intervention. This was a last minute stay, and I went for a less expensive one in the area.

    Staff is friendly. Coffee/tea available in lobby 24/7. Muffins in the morning. Larger dorm fridge and microwave in room. Location is great - close to Schulkyll River trail (although not a particularly scenic part), plenty of bars, restaurants and botiques. I felt safe walking. Also a few small parks. Ate at Dim Sum Court about a block away. It was excellent.

    On a weekend, parking is a nightmare. I got back to the hotel late at night, tired, and ready for bed, but spent 35 minutes looking for a parking place.

    Location was great. In the heart of town, you're within walking distance to many excellent dining options and amenities. The place was quiet and comfortable.

    Told to leave early when they found out I had my cat with me…Even though it says pets are allowed on website and booking.com. They then tried to charge me late check out bc I had only 30 mins until check out time to pack everything, I didn’t appreciate that at all.

    Great location. Nice staff. All around nice stay! Room was clean and quiet.

    the location is great but parking can be a minor challenge. they have a private lot for guests but that fills up and sometimes non guests take spots there. on street parking is a bit restricted. I’d say one trip in five becomes a challenge

    cute place to stay and great staff.

    Parking is tough. There is a tiny 6-car lot next to the building, but if that's full you need to park down the street a bit in a secondary lot. Front desk will give you a pass to leave on your dashboard so you don't get towed for parking overnight so it's fine. Some other reviewers complained that that lot was "very far" but it was literally a 3 minute walk back to the hotel. No big deal at all. As for the room, it was clean so I'm not complaining, but the bed was quite hard and the fluorescent lighting did nothing to cheer up the space.

    The location of The Mainstay Inn really cannot be beat. It is centrally located on Bridge Street, with a plethora of bars, restaurants, and breweries all within walking distance. It was exceptionally convenient! The room itself was quite compact, but we expected that given the age of the building, and it was functional and clean. The hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful as well. We would definitely stay there again.

    The room smelled like a bathroom. No real other complaints as far as how the stay was. But it just was a smelly used bathroom smell throughout the entire room.

    The staff was extremely helpful and very nice. They knew what I as going through and they took precautions to protect me, and even was okay with me forgetting to give back he keys.
