First off let me say the staff was very kind. I believe EXPEDIA needs to vet properties that they are going to 3rd party with. I ended up having to book another room to finish off my stay in Raleigh. I would like to know if it is a hotel/motel that has long term residences living in them. I lost money because of this booking.

I asked for a refund at the door. Payment was broken and uneven, people all over the parking lot and man behind the counter said I had to call hotels to get my money back. I did not stay, I was not given a room key, I just wanted to find a safe place to spend the night.

For starters, the area this place is in and the appearance of the place makes me carry an extra mag for my pistol just to go downstairs to the truck. Room smelled like marijuana, bed linens full of cigarette burn holes, room not cleaned well at all. Bed was also very uncomfortable.The morning after the second night I woke up with pain in my left arm and chest, severely itchy and had a total of 8 bites on me. Searched the sheets, pillows, floor and such and found a pretty large wolf spider…likely what bit me. I was going to say something at checkout but couldn’t ever find anyone that worked there….I put the key card on the counter and left. The 2 days following my stay I spent in throbbing pain in my left arm with swollen welts all over my chest. Tons of Benadryl and ibuprofen and a few days later the welts are finally going away. I will NEVER stay here again.

Good for the money

It was a good price, the staff that I encountered were nice and responsive, it’s close to I-40, and it was quiet even though the highway is nearby. I didn’t have any issues really. I just wish the mattress was more comfortable and that the blanket was thicker
