Needs Updating!
The hotel needs updating. Our room had a dirty washcloth laying on the armoire and the desk chair had burnt holes in it. The couch was dirty looking and the carpet was dirty and worn. I was expecting a nicer room after seeing the lobby but unfortunately we were disappointed and with what we paid, it should have been nicer. The gentleman who greeted us when we got there was nice but the lady who came on shift after him was not a pleasant person. So I would not stay there again.
Great accommodations as always. Very clean. Great access to multiple restaurants within walking distance and very clowe to I-85. Easy to navigate into and out of the parking lot with stoplight access if you need to make a left.
While I thoroughly appreciated the main 2 staff members at the front desk and their kindness, the hotel itself desperately needs to be better maintained and managed. The hotel does not have an actual working kitchen anymore for you to get the add on continental breakfast option and you have to pay for coffee and grab-go breakfast items from the lobby, which is certainly a first for me. The “upgraded” suite we had an awful musky smell, stains on the sofa bed, the dresser drawer in the bedroom wouldn’t stay shut and the TV in living room didn’t work. While you can tell that this hotel recently had some “lipstick” put on it, it still doesn’t justify the overall nightly price.
The inside of the building is very old and damaged the swimming pool was very dirty had what look like a pamper in the bottom, also Pollen and Leaf. They charge u for breakfast which only is drinks and candy bars i will never return 😤
