They didn't offer free ice. We are senior citizens and had a third floor room without an elevator, which was my fault for not calling and requesting a more suitable room. Room was basic, no extras. Beds were older, one was very comfortable, the second bed was not that comfortable. The office had very limited hours, 2pm-7pm. Cleanliness was A+, we would stay there again, but would definitely call for a reservation.

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.
