This property is very outdated. Looked hardly like anything in the pictures. Room was outdated, TV hardly worked, paint was chipped around the room, light fixures were out of date and old. It just was pleasant. Thankfully I was just there to sleep and get ready.

The hotel room was missing a phone and a hair dryer, when we told the front desk they only replaced the hair dryer. The floors were dirty and sticky. There was sticky residue on the tables and dirt and sticky stuff on the walls and light fixtures, the tub was a brown color and the couch in the room was visibly dirty. The whole third floor and our room smelled badly of cigarette smoke even though there were no smoking signs everywhere. We smelled like we slept in a smokers house when we left.

Not sure how this was rated so high. The hotel seems very old and needs a lot of improvements. The entire place smelled , but probably due to the fact that you can cook in your room. Room was beyond basic, could use a face lift and overall deep cleaning

The security hold that is placed on the account is horrible and has landed be back homeless living in my car! If people are living in a hotel they don’t have funds like that to just hold! Why don’t you just set up the transaction by getting a form signed that if anything is wrong with the room you will charge 100 from the card! Do it that way! We struggling out here! But I have learned that this North Carolina doesn’t care about people in a struggle! They just don’t care and the attitude is not warranted at all! I fumigated my room then brought my own vacuum because my dogs started having allergies to the carpet and hair was all in the head board and I did like the free laundry room and the workout area but this place is old and needs renovations! Actually the hotel needs to give us a hundred for just staying there!
