The rooms were clean and beautifully decorated. Doesnt look like the usual boring motel/hotels. Staff was so kind. My daughter has disabilities and had a meltdown in the main office. The staff could have ignored it and continue doing their job but instead they helped me calm her down. Definitely booking here again next year.

The location was great but the room had several flies upon entering. The bedspreads and blankets were stained. It was an average motel otherwise. Location was good.

We have been to the Mainsail 4 times, the penultimate time being in 2019. Before, it was cleaner. Inside the room: Ceiling fan is full of dust, the air conditioning blades too, the bottom of the shower curtain is very dirty. The staff only changes the towels, but a good sweeper to pick up the sand would be nice. The exterior is perfect. Parking is very good and everything is secure.

Great stay. Clean and nice. They have a lot of cleaning staff, so I would remove checkout requirements for guests. Also, having drinking glasses (not coffee cups) would be an added bonus. Overall, good time and we would return.

When we first checked in we were given a key to someone else’s room with their belongings… we then we placed in a room that wasn’t clean, then moved to a room when we finally settled we moved rooms again. Shower didn’t drain when being used. We will not be staying here again.
