Room was very nice. Clean and comfortable. Bathroom was clean with good water temp. A single long hair found in our towels but forgivable. Staff always helpful and friendly. Parking lot on a hill with no good drop off zone for luggage, but ok. Good location close to downtown Wake Forest (try the plant based dessert shop!)
