They definitely need to do some updating. In my room paint is peeling from the ceiling, tub has mold, and tub dripping. On a positive note, the bed was comfortable. If you don’t mind some of the things I wrote it wasn’t a bad experience.

I checked the reviews before booking—this place had great rating, and I figured we could manage a short night in an older hotel. Big mistake. While North Carolina’s roads are beautiful, the hotel’s parking lot was had potholes, trash on the ground, and overflowing garbage bins. Several homeless scattered around the parking lot which made the area feel unsafe with my daughter. Inside, the smell of marijuana. The elevator had some issues, the sheets looked old and worn. The only other access out of the hotels was via outdoor stairs, which had several blind spots—and one had a homeless person. Really! We stayed in the room for a short time left at night, rushing to our car and booking a different hotel. Never again.

Outside smelled like pee and cigarettes, inside was unclean. Toilet not flushed. Water temp/pressure wildly inconsistent. Late night there were people running yelling clapping down the halls. TONSSSS of weed and cigarette smoke coming through to our room late night which woke us up. I don’t believe the sheets were cleaned right. Very gross hotel

The hotel photos on the website were old. I was placed in an adjoining room as solo traveler on the 1st floor. The desk attendant announced my room number while some stranger stood behind me. I did not feel safe. The room was dirty - carpet stains, sagging bed, desk chair had stains. I sat on a bath towel to keep from getting dirty. I did not stay there, I searched for a new hotel and checked out.
