Service was extremely poor. Check-in was slow and when we went to go to breakfast we were told there was none. Our booking said breakfast was included and there was a sign inside with breakfast times. There was no explanation of why this was not to be provided. The member of staff seemed agitated that we had asked/were expecting breakfast to be provided. The room itself was a good size and cleaned to a moderate standard. The bathroom was functional, although the toilet flush buttons were slightly challenging to access because there was limited space between worktop of a toilet flush. One key thing to note is that the walls are very thin so you can hear activity in neighbouring rooms. This was very disruptive during our stay. The area itself is also not very welcoming - people hanging around the parking lot and close to the accommodation. The location might seem suitable for travel to/from Charlotte but given the negatives (noisy, poor service etc.) I would not recommend staying here.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This property is a need of a major remodel and is one of the worst that I’ve ever visited. In my room, the baseboards were missing, there were signs of extensive wear and tear and there was signs of mold around the area where the room air-conditioning and heating unit is located. The floors had paint splotches and other dark spots of unknown origin. The furniture had many chips and scratch marks. The website pictures are misleading, and in no way, reflect the current condition of the property. Also, they do not serve the free breakfast as advertised in the listing.The person who checked me in was courteous.

It’s okay.

Well, there was an odor, not awful. But a smell nonetheless. Then my wife slipped on the floor and busted her eye, now it looks like I beat her. Lol. The floor is slick on the bathroom, so y’all be careful. Not a bad place, but not a place I’d bring my kid.

It was ok..

The hotel was in average condition but I'm aggraated at the fact the websitecshowed free breakfast and when we arrived,there was no breakfast. The pool was closed too. The room was decent and comfortable but there were hairs in the bathroom in the sink and tub, with hardly any toilet paper. When we went to the front desk for toilet paper, he said we had to wait for housekeeping to come around.

Double charged

I was charged twice for my stay. Once on my debit card through hotels.com and then again at the hotel. The hotel claimed I had not paid, yet the money was taken out of my accoun+.

Just say “Hard Pass”

Well, upon arriving to our room we were greeted by a domestic altercation. The arguing in the hallway continued on for at least another hour. The room was pretty gross with candy wrappers stuck on the wall, roaches, and just general grime built up on the bathroom floors, the walls, etc…. It definitely was “you get what you pay for” but I think perhaps $100 was still a bit overpriced.

It is fine. About what you would expect for the price. I have stayed at worse places for more money. It was available on very short notice, and cheap, so no complaints there. Loud music and smoking (not cigarettes, the other kind) going on outside my window. It stopped at midnight.
