clean room but the overall feel of the property was dated and there was a slight "damp" smell. Room felt too sterile and not relaxing.

Breakfast was very good, service was good. Everyone that came to breakfast was confused about how it worked and had to get an explanation from the server. Not complaining but maybe it is something you could look at making more clear.

Everything was fine except the AC wasn’t able to be adjusted. Pushed all the buttons and nothing worked. I ended up pulling the plug.

3 star

Staff very friendly. Relaxing stay. Only issues are extreme amount of large cockroaches outside and throughout the parking lot. The bed is extremely uncomfortable and hard. Location next to Duke Medical is the largest plus.
