The stay was okay . There wasn’t any bed bug which is what I was concerned about . But over all the hotel was dirty & hot . The ice container had dirt left around the rim of the top . There was hair left in the sheets , the tub flooded , the carpet was ripped up by the door , the door did not close all the way unless you forcibly shut it , there was dirty rags and cups left around the room , and it was HOT . Took us leaving the air conditioning on 62 just to get some type of coolness & had to use personal fan as well . The breakfast wasnt giving at all , But it was free so I guess there’s that . Over all , it’s alright for a quick night to lay your head but wouldn’t recommend for a vacation stay . We definitely will not be returning .
I have been staying here when I come to town and they literally treat you like family. I say it’s my home away from home. Very peaceful and laid back atmosphere.
The breakfast is A1. Hands down the best coffee. I have No desire to lodge anywhere else when in Cornelius/Lake Norman. They are renovating the property but that’s not ever been a problem either. Try it out. They will not disappoint!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰
Stayed one night as a over night travel it worked for us to sleep. But it’s just not ideal outdated. Breakfast was apple and yogurt and coffee not a big variety

It was a decent place to stay at we was t told that the pool was closed until my wife got in the water and someone told them that it was closed because it’s being renovated and nothing was going on at all all u could do is cut by the pool but u can’t swim
First room had hair all in the shower and the shower faucet continuously dripped. Furniture was splintered and pieces of wood & dust were on the floor in front. Second room they offered, both queen beds were unmade. She said the room had shown to be cleaned. Third room they upgraded us to a king suite. Bathroom floor was dirty. Carpets were somewhat dirty like not vacuumed well. Bedside lamps were very dusty. Air conditioner rattled like there was paper down in it and it didn’t cool off the room.

Being renovated. This is the second time we have stayed in last 4 years. Its basic but good location and staff are great !
The staff was nice. The property is very old. They are remodeling. Our room carpet was filthy, the beds were comfortable air conditioner ran all night off and on. In their defense, they are remodeling
