    Property is a quaint property right in the middle of town. It is very clean and perfect if you’re visiting Cary . One negative was their claim to have a delicious Sunday brunch, but our experience was that the brunch was just average at best.

    A friend of the family indicated a couple months prior that they were staying there in this hotel, so my brother's family, my sister, and I booked rooms at your hotel as well. We did not realize until arrival that this hotel had cancelled their handicap room reservation a few days prior to their arrival, seemingly because this hotel had gotten a longer stay from another handicap guest, which overlapped our family friend's reservation. They had to scramble to find another hotel with a handicap room on a few days' notice. So, this hotel got three other double rooms booked because of them, but yet this hotel despicably cancelled their reservation. We were all there for a family wedding, and so now everyone knows to avoid booking rooms at this hotel.

Some rooms can get a bit noisy at night if the bar is open, but the rooms come equipped with built in sound machines which was really useful to dull the outside noise. Overall, we would stay again!

    The location of the hotel couldn't be better. Just adjacent to the park and truly in the center of Downtown Cary, which is extremely walkable and full of gems - check out the breweries, local theater, or great restaurants. Using the wall space within the hotel's lobbies and walkways to display local artists' work was a fantastically homey touch. The room was comfortable, spacious, and tastefully designed. If you're an architecture person, you'll enjoy the structure itself with its Greek Revival/Georgian style. If you're a bar patron like myself, be aware that their bar is going to be slammed during the weekend lunch hour. Nothing a little patience can't overcome.

The new State of The Art Park in Cary is a minute walk, perfect for families!!!!!

    Also, I was quite put out when my wife requested no Maid service the second day, we stayed at The Mayton, I asked the front desk for 2 bottles of small water and was promptly told no maid service no water. I thought this must be a southern thing except when we Stayed on Campus at Clemson and asked for bottles of water with no maid service the person behind the desk said I will go get you some how many do you need. Big bottles with The Hotels name on them. I said we could wait for the maid to come up. We were given 3 bottles of water and led to believe if we needed more it would not be a problem. Parked our rental 10-20 steps from the front door!

    I had to wait 20 minutes to check in because the man at the desk was on the phone. I was then told that the restaurant and bar would not be opens. I had been counting on meeting family there for drinks, but had to figure out a new plan. I wish I had know before booking. Then when I get to the room, for the price, it was not anything special. No robes as advertised. The thermostat was on at 80 degrees (it was a very warm day out in NC); however, there was no way to change the temp, definitely no a/c and I couldn’t open the windows. When asked about the temp, the rude person at the desk said there was no way to change it. To top it all off, there was a company party there and the band was extremely loud, even the room was shaking from the booming. I had to call the town of Cary due to noise ordinance since it was 10pm. Overall, I would say, definitely stay somewhere else, especially if you are planning to have a nice relaxing visit.

    Would be so much better with valet parking. Doorman seems to be part time. A marketing consulting company in Charlotte who specializes in revitalizing downtowns recently said at a meeting in Lumberton that The Mayton was failing due to lack of convenient parking facilities. You may want to look into those sort of negative comments. It is a drawback, especially when guests have baggage.

Can’t beat the location on Cary’s world class park and emerging old town scene.

    I have been here plenty of times before. The place feels a little run over. Not as boutique as it was once when they started. The rooms carpet was dirty. Can see the dark prints left on your feet. There was not an ounce of decor on the walls. The feel of the room being in this town is still there but somewhat disconnected to once what it was. Maybe it was this particular room I had. I remember it being warm and luxurious at one point.

    The Hotel entrance is very nice and the staff was very helpful. Unfortunately, we weren't happy that there was no parking and that we had to put our car in a lot across the street where it could possibly get vandalized. The room was adequate but for the cost I had expected it to be bigger. Our bed made noise every time we moved. The toilet was not secured properly and felt like it was going to come off the floor. We ate at the restaurant in the hotel for breakfast (which didn't open until 8am which seemed late to us). The omelets were awful. There was so much cheese that we peeled the egg off in order to eat it. My husband's breakfast came with grits that were seasoned for dinner and not breakfast. To add to this, the coffee was brown water. We did not return to the restaurant for any additional meals. Our accommodations were no better than the Double Tree (which was actually better). We would not recommend it especially since it is so much more expensive. Very disappointing.

    202 that had a living room w a nice desk, sofa and 2 wing chairs and coffee table, and a TV. Also had a mini kitchen area w microwave off the living room and bathroom. Huge bathroom w great old fashion tub and separate shower. I’m back in was a very large separate Bedroom w king bed and dresser w another TV and nice wing chair and tables. The decor is now funky modern which might not be my choice. The entire “apt” was painted a dark lavender w dark ebony hardwood floors. Even the molding was painted lavender. I’d prob decorate this like the old fashion Inn it once was but imagine your Hippy, artsy sister who graduated from Pratt Art Institute in Brooklyn is now in charged of the decor. I really loved the sweet town of Cary - like Stars Hollow for those GG fans. Great coffee shops. I recommend Brew’s (around corner near the theater) wonderful Avocado Toast and fall spice latte. Also loved Serendipity for sandwiches with wonderful outdoor eating area. And the coffee and staff at Esteamed were wonderful (next door to Serendipity) and less than a block from Maydon. A very cool bakery Blue Moon in shops off a parking lot and a really nice antique store next door which has mostly jewelry, hats and China (not furniture). Cool furniture store w lots of gift items at The Perfect Piece - 2 blk from Brew (same side). Loved the town of Cary. Adorable!!
