Stay in Wake Forest.
Our room was newly renovated and very nice and comfortable. The hotel is undergoing renovations which limited the services such as breakfast accommodation. I believe once it’s completed everything will be nice.

It was decent
It was a decent location. Construction was taking place in and outside the building. So the elevator was not working. We had to take all of our bags and dogs upstairs via the stairs. (We were on the 4th floor).

I checked in and was assigned a room with no TV. Furthermore, hotel staff did not advise of this situation and would not assign me to a different room. I immediately checked out of the hotel without reimbursement. This is the worst hotel I've ever had after many years of traveling internationally and across the U.S. I would not recommend a stay at this hotel.

The hotel was nice, room beautiful. However, I was charged a “damage fee” for marking up the pillows and sheets with purple dye an oil! I was offended and disturbed, the maids tried to accuse me that I’d done that. I had no products that had any oil or purple chemicals! Hopefully they refund me my $ as they eventually concluded.

At the time, they were painting the outside walls, my windows were covered, and I heard a lot of beepbeeps. It does look much better though and I understand they had to do it. I would recommend 2-ply toilet paper more consistent with the place which is very nice and updated. Staff were very nice and helpful.

Let me begin by stating that this establishment deserves 10 stars. My family and I have had to book an extended stay due to sudden unfortunate issues with our residence. The hotel is extremely well maintained, and despite current renovations the construction did not disturb us in any way. The cleaning staff is always happy to help you with anything you need. They are always happy and smiling. The staff at the front desk is exceptional. Always available to answer any questions or concerns. Parking is easy and I have always been able to find a spot, even on the weekends when it gets busy. The location is great with plenty of nearby grocery stores and restaurants. There are even big box stores within walking distance. A Walgreens store is located in the adjacent parking lot as well as a 24hr gas station. Free laundry is available and the machines are well maintained. The gym is spacious and quiet. The rooms are great. Comfortable beds, great pillows, plenty of space. Very large shower, and plenty of hot water. The kitchenette is fully stocked with dishware, flatware, and regular sized appliances. Including a dishwasher! ***The customer service manager, Morgan, was extremely helpful with the resolution of a billing error that accidentally occurred. She was attentive, kind, and very professional. The general manager, Fernando, was amazing as well. Rarely do you get to speak to a GM when there is an issue, but Fernando always made himself available. He personally assisted us often.
