The hotel was basically deserted and while I was checking in my husband saw a person wandering the parking lot. We were given our room and it was as far away from the elevator in the farthest corner in the back of the hotel on the top floor. The room was basic but fine but because I felt so unsafe I couldn’t stay there. I told her that the room wasn’t up to the expectations and said we were leaving. It was a very scary situation for us. I hate that I used the credit I had and another $60 some to leave within 15 minutes but explaining it to the front desk person seemed to be a moot point. She wasn’t going to be able to make us feel safe. Why would you put 2 senior citizens that had parked in the handicap space that far away from the elevator in the farthest corner of the hotel when it was empty?

The staff is very nice. It was great to have fresh baked cookies in the evenings. Breakfast was good. The room was clean. It was very spacious and had everything we needed. However, while barefoot, the carpet felt damp. The sofa and chair and curtains were definitely dated. The shower had mold along the top of it. But i would stay again.

If you happy find yourself in Port St Joe & just need to stay over night, this place will do. But overall, the Mainstay is pretty dated & could definitely use a renovation.
