We stayed at this hotel after a 10-hour drive from North Carolina, hoping to get some much-needed rest. Unfortunately, around 5 a.m., the fire alarm went off unexpectedly. It was loud and disruptive, and no one from the hotel staff followed up—no call, no explanation, and no one checked in to see if everything was okay. My husband and I were startled and couldn’t get back to sleep, so we ended up getting dressed and leaving early. It was a disappointing end to what we hoped would be a restful stay.

Great service at check in and throughout our stay, room was clean, breakfast could've used more seating but was exactly what they said (please replace the yogurt machine with single use yogurts) and was kept stocked. We enjoyed our stay.

The room was great! But the pull out couch was so uncomfortable and very thin. Could feel every single spring in that mattress. Plus there was a huge blue paint stain on the coushin. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was clean. The room said it could sleep seven. But it could barely sleep 5 bc of the pull out matress

Close, but no cigar.

Pretty nice, but two negatives. First, there are actually somewhat comfortable hideabed mattresses; unfortunately, this hotel did not have one. Second, a pretty meager "breakfast"; not even any fresh fruit.
