Mainstay Suites Bowling Green North

Getting to the interstate was easy, and there were gas stations nearby. The hotel was nicely updated, and the room had enough space to get comfortable. I wasn’t too fond of the shower, though the water was hot and the pressure was good.

The bed was clean and comfortable, the one good thing about this stay. The room smelled as soon as I walked in because the previous guest’s trash hadn’t been emptied, and who knows how long it had been there. The bin was wet and nasty. Someone removed the trash but didn’t bring a clean bin. There were bugs in the room, dead and alive, the hallway carpet was filthy and covered in stains, and the internet was lousy. The front desk staff weren’t helpful. I’d never stay here again.

We found this affordable place for a family vacation stop overnight. Check-in and checkout were easy, and we had breakfast in the morning. It was a fantastic experience, and we’ll definitely come back.

The room cost only $60 because I used points on the app, and the location worked well for our route. It’s an extended-stay hotel, so having kitchen items in the room was handy when we ordered pizza. We had utensils and plates to eat with. The lobby and breakfast area looked nice and recently remodeled, and the room furniture had a modern feel. But our stay wasn’t great. The pullout couch mattress was so stained that there was no way our kids could sleep on it, so all three slept in a double bed. The bathroom sliding-door handle was broken, which was a nuisance since you need it every time you open or close the door. There were also dirty dishes left in the dishwasher. I included photos of the mattress and handle. I didn’t raise any of this with management since we were in and out in under 12 hours. Was it worth the 12,000 points I used? No. I see the owner responds to reviews, so I may update this if they respond or have questions.
