Disliked: Amenities
The room was OK, parking is great, front desk people were great. The bathroom was poor. Lots of fruit fly type bugs around, the shower stall was disgusting, the shower head was on a non secured pipe so wobbled about, hot water took forever to arrive (what a waste). The toilet tank had a top that didn’t fit the toilet make. Very convenient location. TV was good. An additional water heater would really help.

Room had nice new carpet and bathroom. Bed was great. Furniture was a bit worn and the room could have been painted lighter colors. For the price if you want a clean comfortable room it was great. If you want fancy you will have to pay more someplace else..

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Not a great experience

The bed is full of springs and uncomfortable and pillows flat it took all 3 to make 1 to sleep on. The shower was slimy and dirty and the water pressure really sucked. The bathroom is a little cramped and the walls had patches and imperfections all over. The a/c did not work that great. The one good thing I liked was the rocking chair outside to sit near room while smoking or drinking but highway noise kept it a little bit from being relaxing.

So the good parts included newer carpet, clean beds, easy parking and quiet area. The bad parts: beds weren't comfortable and you could feel the springs coming through and the bathroom just needed an entire gut job. The light was rusted and didnt have a cover plate, the shower curtain was molded and the worst part was the leaking ceiling that kept my friend up all night when it rained. Water was all over the bathroom when we woke up and that was obviously the reason for mold on the ceiling. For the price we paid I wasnt too upset but would def probably stay elsewhere next time.

The hotel is in a good area, it's close to bojangles and the famous "Haywood Smokehouse". The owners let us check in early which was a plus! The room is old looking, pillows were flat, there was some repairs. Room was clean. We might stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities

When checking in they told me my room was ready. Then they told me that they were oversold and other guest decided to stay. Then I got another story that they would refund me the difference. I took the other room and then found out from another staff member that they had two king rooms ready but they wanted to sell them to someone else for a higher rate than what I got online. This person said that this happens quite often. When I approached the owner, he said that if I didn't like it I could check out and find somewhere else to stay. Since I had already moved my items in the room, I decided to stay. If it weren't for the initial treatment, I would rate everything higher. I just hate the dishonesty just to make a few bucks. And to boot, the place wasn't oversold; there were plenty of rooms and parking spaces in front of them and no bus/vans to account for the story of being oversold, which I feel that in itself, is a bad business practice especially when it even isn't a holiday or major tourist area. Was in town for a wedding.

Simple and clean, despite the empty tissue holder. But forget about the so-called breakfast: Juice machine was out of order all week, coffee was inedible, and no milk was provided for the breakfast cereal. I was in large party renting more than a dozen rooms and none of us would touch the coffee, nor wanted to eat dry cereal, so we went out for breakfast every day. To claim they are serving breakfast is cynical false advertising.
