Good lower priced hotel…..

The price was competitive and the accommodations were good for a 2.5 star hotel. They had a decent breakfast and a small indoor pool with an outdoor deck which was nice. It’s just a stones throw from the Southpoint Mall and right off of I40. The front desk folks were nice offering free bottles of water and letting me check in early. The one drawback for my room was a small water leak around the toilet but I was only there for one night so it wasn’t a big deal…

We were very pleased with the location and convenience of staying at this hotel. The biggest downside was that they had no hot water which, as you can imagine, is a HUGE inconvenience. This should be an absolute necessity, especially when booking a room at a 4-star hotel. While we were hoping to have a relaxing evening/night before heading to Duke Hospital for what will be a very stressful day, we had no such luck.

Overall Great Stay

This was our first stay at this property and overall, it was very good. Our only complaint, which is significant, was that the mattresses in our room were terrible and we woke up sore. However, we reported this to the person at the front desk, Alexander, upon check-out and he said he was very sorry and took off one night's stay from our bill for our trouble. We were very surprised and pleased as we did not expect this. He also told us that we would be given an upgraded King suite the next time we stayed there. This unexpected gesture was very nice and we will definitely stay at this hotel again.

Water ant visit.

We had a ceiling water leak. Ants all over the desk. Got moved. 2nd room next to laundry room. Machines pounded as they ran. Partying in one of the rooms next to us. Afraid to complain. The burden to move was on us. We had to repack our belongings. Would love a partial refund of our stay. We actually enjoy staying in this hotel. It is not our first stay. We have booked a child’s room as well.

My 10 year old daughter and I stayed thanksgiving night and Friday night. Our stay was great overall but I have two complaints! The indoor pool water temperature was not warm enough for even the kids to swim in and they had no towels in the pool area! Second issue was that my room 312 had a very loose toilet seat and I stopped at the front desk our first day to inform the staff! Nothing was done about either issue, the most important being the toilet seat issue!

All around “off” on this stay. We stay every 3 months like clockwork (come into town for medical treatments,) but this trip felt “off.” We were certainly treated differently by staff this time than any time before- as though we were a burden. This happened while calling to confirm, during check in, and for breakfast…we had no requests or problems…just felt as though we were being treated the way a teenager treats their younger siblings in front of friends (with a bit of a attitude, and as though we were inferior.) This has never happened before, and unfortunately it was by 3 different staff members. I will say it is worth mentioning there was a conference of some sort staying on property, but while the quantity of their discounted room fees far outweighs our single full-priced room, it does not change that we were paying guests of the same establishment. If I had to base our likelihood of returning on this most recent stay alone- I would not stay again.
