The new owners have been working on updating the look of the place, and the coffee area you see when you first step inside has been revamped. Very nice-looking, with lots of options. The staff, including the owner, her daughter, and the guy they had on in the morning when I checked out, were all extremely friendly. They knew most of their guests this past weekend were there for the Exhumed Films 24-Hour Horror-thon, and set out snacks in a big bowl for us. I don't mind that Phoenixville only has one place to stay overnight--it's a good one and I always look forward to getting a room there.

***First: This hotel has new owners as of July 2025. They're already making renovations to the…read morerooms and the lobby/ breakfast area. My review is from a stay in January 2025. *^* The Mainstay Inn is a small independently owned hotel in the heart of Phoenixville's commercial corridor - picture an area with great restaurants, breweries, shops, and the legendary Colonial Theater. That is its most valuable draw, as there are no other hotels around - the closest is 2 miles away. I reserved a room, as a local, because the colonial had an all day movie festival that ended at 10:30 PM. Oh, and it was snowing. I parked in the adjacent city owned lot. The hotel has a small number of spots behind the building and they fill up. The room was very clean , though dated. Actual room keys! Patterned bedspread! It was small, as in no chair or desk or whatever. My room faced the parking lot. I was impressed that it was quiet. I felt safe and comfy. The next morning I had muffins & fruit & tea from their breakfast bar before checking out. Staff were professional and friendly. It's a comfy, quiet small hotel in an unbeatable location. Thru are probably already sold out for Blobfest next year - it's that perfect. If you're looking for expansive space and luxury amenities, it may not be for you. I have seen photos of what the new owners are doing and it looks great.

We had heard about Room 109 through social media and friends who had visited, so we decided to…read morecheck it out. This speakeasy is located in the basement of the Hotel Indigo. To reach it, we went through the lobby and took the elevator down. As it was a Saturday night, there was a line, and the bouncer let only a few people in at a time since the place is small. About 20 minutes later, we made it to the front of the line and went in. There's definitely a speakeasy vibe with dark walls, retro photos on the walls, and subdued lighting. We found a seat at a small table and perused the menu which had a limited amount of cocktails and no food. My husband had to go to the bar to get our drinks although I was able to ask someone to clear and wipe down the table. I asked for a Chapter One cocktail (cool name) with vodka as opposed to gin, and it was quite good and not overly sweet. My husband liked his Bellhop Mule. I later tried the French 109 with cognac which was served in a Champagne glass. Keep in mind this is a quiet, sophisticated place without live music, so it's perfect for an after dinner drink rather than a party hangout.

Great spot for craft cocktails in a moody speakeasy style. Grab the elevator in the hotel and go to…read morethe basement. Once out of the elevator, you will see it to your left (same floor as fitness center). As soon as you walk in, you sense the moody decor and speakeasy vibes. There is a small bar and lots of small intimate seating areas. There is also a restroom available in the area. We ordered The Stanford and the Spicy Sunset. Both were great. The menu does offer some crafty cocktails, as well as beer and wine selections. They were a little busy when we got there and found a seat. After waiting a little while we realized that servers weren't coming around (there were 2) so ended up going up to the bar to order. Not the best set up for ordering at the bar as there are patrons seated there so hovering over them to order wasn't comfortable for them or us. Within a half an hour of coming, they got very busy and another server appeared. Not sure if they usually come around for orders or not. Overall, a good experience with tasty drinks. We only stayed for one drink. There wasn't any music or entertainment. There is a parking garage literally next to the hotel with reasonable rates. Worth a try.

With this being a Motel I wasn't expecting much, but after the belligerent and very rude treatment…read morethat I received after trying to speak with the front office representative it has led me to post my honest review. Upon first glance while lights were off, the room seemed decent however, after turning on the lights, I noticed dead bugs on the bed cover, AC unit and even some areas of the floor. After pulling back the decorative sheet with dead bugs, I noticed that there was crumbs and unknown specs on the bed, and then upon pulling back that layer, I noticed some hair and staining. This was accompanied by hair found on the bathroom floor, a dirty fridge door and a mediocre cleaned microwave that was seemingly the least of our worries. This was a day motel stop after a very long night of driving from a trip out of state. After noticing these issues, I walked to the front office only to request new sheets to which the woman had a slight attitude and then told me that there was no bugs in the room without even coming to take a look. I ensured her there was to which she kept being defensive and then gave me keys to another room telling me that I should just take my stuff out of the room and go to another that she had given me the key to to which I complied. After taking the keys, I want to go check out the other room given that our first room wasn't in a favorable state, but I didn't want to just be stuck with a room worse than what we already had. The second room that she had given me key to the bed coverings were significantly cleaner however the room smelled so strongly of cigarette smoke that I could not stay in the room. I went back to the front office to disclose this and just get some fresh sheets and that's when the woman started stating that she would kick us out of our room that she gave us a "discount" on. Because I went alone to change the sheets, she then started making very distasteful comments saying that because I was the one who directly paid for the room, I shouldn't have a say, and or be picky of the state of the room, she also started getting very loud basically screaming telling me that I'm being difficult and that there's nothing wrong with the room because she's the one who cleans it, but didn't even step foot in the room to look and see what I was talking about, she kept trying to talk over me and kept insisting that because it's 8 AM there's no reason why I should be being this difficult when all I wanted from the start was fresh sheets. I never asked for her to change my room, especially knowing that we're only gonna be here for literally a couple of hours. Not even spending the night and after seeing the state of the room and her disgusting attitude towards me as a person I would not recommend to stay to anyone. I'm not a person who usually leaves reviews, but given such distasteful, dismissive, and very disrespectful treatment I felt this review was very necessary for those looking for a convenient and enjoyable experience because this was anything but that for me.

I got there early so I had to wait about an hour for my room. I had lunch downstairs at the restaurant. I loved the room, it's location, the cleanliness, and the view. It was spotless.

They've got a garage right next to the hotel but you're forced to park about as far away as possible, and the signage in the garage is so poor that you're left wandering the garage trying to find a way out. It is so so bad, I'd recommend strongly the Marriott either on the same side of the river or on the other side. This hotel is quite the social hangout, but it feels like a bunch of modern day hippies trying to find some sense of community. No thank you at all. Seriously, rethink your choice here. When you're tired and lugging your bags around, the last thing you want is to be so far away and then get stuck at the bottom of the garage with no elevator. I swear it's like you're in a horror movie, so creepy down there, and I worry about safety to be honest. And I'm paying a lot for this room, there are much better choices just blocks away. Really watch yourself with this place. Never again. This management needs to make the parking right up front, right near the hotel entrance. What's wrong with you fools? Fail.
