Good day, I’m very dismayed and disappointed that the hotel is currently holding US$100.00 and hasn’t released my funds back onto my card. I’m requesting for my funds to be returned asap. I’ve heard of hotels keeping a card on file in the event it’s needed but this lady held my funds and told me it’ll be returned to my card the following day. It’s been an entire week and my funds is still on hold. They held more money than what I paid for the room. I’m very disappointed and wish this matter to be resolved asap.

Room smelled like cigarettes and marijuana. Kids running up and down hallways after midnight. Parents beating their kids leaving them screaming at midnight! The bathroom had broken toilet paper holder and broken toilet seat!

Just don't. Pick literally any other place. Park in any random parking lot and sleep the night off instead. Bad area, poorly taken care of. Not sure I felt any safer inside the room with a single chain lock (outside door) than I did outside. $100 security deposit hold and an additional $400 hold? Wild. Not as advertised at all. Would rate 0 if given the chance.

The person that checked me in was nice and courteous. The room was not good. There was stains on the lamps and walls. The entrance door had a few small holes where you could see sunlight coming through. Sheets needed to be changed. And something that I really hate along with the uncleanliness is bugs! There was roaches! I will never be staying there again nor would I recommend it to anyone!

The tastefully modern interior decor of the room belies the less-than-inspiring outdoor appearance. Bed was very comfortable, shower easy to operate, and I appreciated the fridge and microwave. A minor gripe that the TV remote was not working, but I wasn't in the room long enough for it be a big problem. Breakfast options slightly above average (scrambled eggs was a pleasant surprise), and the staff was quick to respond to shortages. I have a slight issue with the property billing itself as "University Area" when the college is several miles away.

The hotel overall was very nice. It was clean and comfortable. The surrounding area feels a little uncomfortable, but nothing overly dangerous. I was hesitant based on other reviews, but overall we had a good stay for a couple of nights. Other guests were a bit noisy and inconsiderate of their "smoking choices", but I do not hold that against the property. The Bed was comfy, shower was great. Will keep this property in mind for future NC trips.

Not worth it.
The beds were comfortable. That's the only good thing. It's a "no smoking" hotel and the entire room stunk. The bed the towels everything. My clothes smelled like cigarettes the next morning. Cigarette burn marks in the restroom. Not very clean.
