So again a place to sleep. The area doesn’t have much as most stops for a city and area. There is a gem a Restaurant on the corner. Menus is huge and the options are vast. Ceviche to steaks! The hotel was not to accommodating but the room was big with the fridge microwave…no freezer. Showers kinda poopie but cleaned well. Bed a little stiff but not bad. A/C kicked it to 60 and it was 60, wife was freezing to death lol! Gotta keep it cold! Good amount of the rooms are torn apart and stuff left on the walkways in the back as they had other rooms that looked like they can’t use them. You have to walk all the way to the front for ice, that sucked. Don’t forget your key card cause ya gotta have it to get into the Lundry/Vending/Ice Machine (yeah) Maybe there’s an Ice Machine Mafia mechanism in the area. Ah but for the cost and the lack of things to do that interest us like nature, which it had a nice trail area between schools that went back to a tiny mud creek but it wasn’t small and nothing but just the trails with the beautiful forest. Spent a few hours there rock hounding the fallen trees. Little history here but they close early or attractions only operated on Fridays Saturdays. Plenty of other shady hotels all around but this one was quite and not crowded. Close to the roads and grocery stores, jump on hwy and jet to most areas 20 mins maybe 30

Do not stay at this hotel. My daughter spent one night and was bitten by bedbugs. You read that right: bedbugs! When she informed the hotel, they demanded that she produce photos of the bedbugs, which was extremely rude and disrespectful, especially since they could see the bites on her ankle and how painful it was. They did not offer any kind of apology or help her in any way. Furthermore, the room was quite dirty (which explains the bedbugs) and many things did not work properly, e.g., the blinds. This meant that they had to choose between privacy and no natural sunlight. Overall, it was a terrible experience.

Start with the check-in was okay. Got into the first room the the bottom of the door had a rubber attached to it that every time you move the door it squealed. Had to ask for a different room. Got to the second room it was not any better the chair was stained and dirty like somebody threw up on it. Had to ask for a blanket or something to cover it up cuz it was too gross to even set my suitcase on. The walls have areas where it look like somebody threw up and wasn't clean properly. There was also in the bathroom where the cover came off of some wiring. Very disappointed Got woke up at 5:30 in the morning with the police next door with people screaming and yelling. And pounding on doors. It was just a horrible stay.

Gym equipment was broken. Breakfast they said there would be yogurt and bread and eggs. I got down there there was 2 pieces old bread and a tray with dry egg pieces. The staff were in the back of the hotel cooking, however there was trash EVERYWHERE. Old packages of meat trays everywhere on the ground. It smelled so bad. 0/10

Staff was okay, but they lied about what they provided, and they are the ones causing the trash. They are cooking in the back of the hotel their dinner and throwing the garbage on the ground outside their door.


They take those Otis psunkmeyer mini muffins the cake ones and put them on a tray individually for the staff to eat and they looked extremely old.

I’ll never in my life go here again

The breakfast was fine. Our main room was clean. The staff wasn't super friendly. The main problem was my room's bathroom. The door would get stuck and not close properly, and the shower bar holding the shower curtain was curved like a smile, so the curtains would not close entirely and water would escape the ends onto the bathroom floor. Overall, 4/10, would not recommend.

We checked in at 4:15 and our room was still not cleaned. We had to wait another 15 minutes for our room to be cleaned.

The bed was so hard and the pillows were throw pillow size instead of King sized and the ac unit was not getting the room cold. I would have hated to stay here in the summer.

The best part was the breakfast and that was alright for a free breakfast.

Lobby looked good so I had high hopes for the room. All I can say is the beds were comfortable. Bathtub needed a good scrubbing . Toilet was wobbly-was afraid I'd tumble off at some point. Outlet by sink was hanging out of the wall. Breakfast-yuck. Coffee machine was broken, but did see a new one being wheeled in when we left.

The room smellled like pee and when I told the front seat that I wanted disinfectant they said that the room was clean and it was not needed. The door to the room did not lock and was a huge safety concern. The toilet stopped working and the assistant manager said he’d give me a plunger for me to fix it on my own since maintenance was not available

This is an older (cheaper) property, so go in with that expectation and you won't be disappointed. The facility is older, and reasonably maintained, but shows its age. The room was clean, clean linens, clean bathroom and had a fridge and microwave. Fairly quiet area and well lit parking lot, and doesn't feel insecure. Overall, if you're looking for reasonably priced accomodations, its a good place, but has no frills and is a bit dated. I've stayed here several times over the last couple years and its not too far from Downtown Charlotte, and does the job.

Hotel in super bad area with homeless and drug heads BUT oddly enough it’s kept up if your just in town for a cup of coffee it’s perfect for that only REAL issue I have is the checking in at 3pm part especially if you there at 1pm and room ready they still won’t let you check in early cause they say you will be using water and electricity so the way they try to save is making you wait to check in so be prepared to sleep in car while you wait so THAT sucks!

Room was ok, but hot water was inadequate and tv did not work well. Wouldnt come on easily and wouldnt stay on.
Breakfast was terrible. No selection, eggs but no meat, very small muffins that remained in there for the entire 4 days we were there. Very tiny yogurt and very few. Watered down waffle batter. Very disappointing and will likely choose other accommodations on future trips wherever we go. Also staff difficult to talk to due to their foreign language.

The hotel and room were very clean. Bed was super comfortable and there was plenty of light in the room. Room appeared to be revently renovated with hard wood floors and nice bathrooms. Breakfast was adequate with scrambled eggs and make your own waffle option; a meat (bacon, hame, or sausage) would have been a nice addition to breakfast. Ample parking and a gym were available at this hotel. Staff was pleasant though we not quick to greet you when entering the lobby or wishing you a good day. Check out was efficient.

We did not even stay there. Checked in- loud party was going on and people outside smoking drinking. You could smell marijuana coming from the rooms. People had their doors propped open and we did not feel safe. Homeless man walking the property with a garbage bag. The back end of the property was completely abandoned with garbage, broken and boarded rooms. I went to the front desk told them l wanted to cancel my stay and get my money back and they refused, even though it was only shortly after we checked in. We did not even go in the actual room, and left after they refused yo return our money. This was completely misleading as the pictures look wonder and we were excited to stay here. Utter disgrace and disappointment on how terrible this place was.

This hotel was run down, advertises that they have a pool which they certainly do not. The photos they have posted must be from several years ago.
The “hot breakfast buffet” is nothing more than a continental breakfast with soggy eggs and if you don’t get there within about the first hour you won’t even have that.
The room was gross with sticky brown gunk stuck to the bathroom door and hair in the bed. They also must keep the ACs off until a guest checks in because when we entered the room the AC was off and it was so hot in the room that the first night we couldn’t sleep.
If you have children I would highly recommend AGAINST staying here, there were people just standing outside their doors smoking pot. It was disheartening to have to walk our 3 and 1 year old through pot smoke.

Terrible

The woman at the front desk was horrible. She was so rude, couldnt find my reservation that had already been paid for. I showed her my phone an she said its in someone else's name. Then tried to put me on 2nd floor after i put in notes about fluids being built up on my legs an i also called the hotel th week before just to make sure. She said they disnt have any more rooms on 1st floor an i said i cant be on swcond floor so i guess you will have to give me my money back. She huffed an look thru her card thing an handed me a key to a room on first floor. As i was standing there for waiting for me someone called about reservations they had made for several actors cuz she had messed it up an she told him it want her problem an hung up on him an two of them was walking dead actors.

Okay for one short night

We got in late, after midnight. At check-in, he claimed I had no reservation. I had to pull up the confirmation online to show him. Was given 2 double beds instead of the king bed I reserved. Plus we had to walk up stairs to get to our room. The toilet ran every 7 minutes. Loud music thumping in the parking lot. We could smell weed. Not the best area of town. Room seemed mostly clean. I checked for bed bugs and didn’t see any. We were so tired we didn’t have it in us to ask for another room. Breakfast was very meager. They had waffles and bread for toast but no butter. Powdery lukewarm eggs. Cereal. Overall, just meh. We didn’t die. It was an okay bed for the one night we slept there. But again, we were VERY tired! We were awake in the room for less than an hour the whole time.

Reasonably priced but you get what you pay for. Mattress placed on top of some sort of hollow metal boxes so you wake up any time you turn in your sleep. Other than that it’s Ok if you want a quick stay that’s close to a highway.

The bed in the room was sooooo comfortable. We were not expecting to have to pay a $100 deposit tho. I had to dig thru the hotel info on expedia and read some seriously fine print about the deposit. It should be listed at the beginning of the reservation so the people can expect it. Other than that, i was blown away by how clean, spacious, and comfortable the room was.

I had a 12pm check out and someone tried to come into my room without knocking at 10am. The again but with knocking at 11:20am. I killed 5 baby roaches in the room. Im staying in the area for work and the internet wasn't good. Also there was people walking from a hotel behind this one on drugs. They looked like zombies. A man with no shirt on was fighting the air and someone was shot on the corner.

The hotel is back on a side street. There’s a lot of homeless on the Main Street. Kind of felt unsafe. The room was clean but needed some repairs like bolt was out of the toilet seat, so it moved from side to side. For a layover stuff I would do it again, but my friends advice is spend $20 more and you’ll be happy and I would probably say that about this hotel

I needed a place for a night and was terrified after reading reviews on a dozen hotels. This property was in a good area, right next to the interstate. My room was huge and clean. Bed slept great, the 1 staff member I encountered was nice and helpful. I don't require a lot as a traveler, and this fit my needs perfectly. I was very happy with the cleanliness of the room and property. Would definitely stay again.

Good day,
I’m very dismayed and disappointed that the hotel is currently holding US$100.00 and hasn’t released my funds back onto my card. I’m requesting for my funds to be returned asap. I’ve heard of hotels keeping a card on file in the event it’s needed but this lady held my funds and told me it’ll be returned to my card the following day. It’s been an entire week and my funds is still on hold. They held more money than what I paid for the room. I’m very disappointed and wish this matter to be resolved asap.

Just don't.

Pick literally any other place. Park in any random parking lot and sleep the night off instead. Bad area, poorly taken care of. Not sure I felt any safer inside the room with a single chain lock (outside door) than I did outside. $100 security deposit hold and an additional $400 hold? Wild.

Not as advertised at all. Would rate 0 if given the chance.

The person that checked me in was nice and courteous. The room was not good. There was stains on the lamps and walls. The entrance door had a few small holes where you could see sunlight coming through. Sheets needed to be changed. And something that I really hate along with the uncleanliness is bugs! There was roaches! I will never be staying there again nor would I recommend it to anyone!

The tastefully modern interior decor of the room belies the less-than-inspiring outdoor appearance. Bed was very comfortable, shower easy to operate, and I appreciated the fridge and microwave.

A minor gripe that the TV remote was not working, but I wasn't in the room long enough for it be a big problem.

Breakfast options slightly above average (scrambled eggs was a pleasant surprise), and the staff was quick to respond to shortages.

I have a slight issue with the property billing itself as \"University Area\" when the college is several miles away.

The hotel overall was very nice. It was clean and comfortable. The surrounding area feels a little uncomfortable, but nothing overly dangerous. I was hesitant based on other reviews, but overall we had a good stay for a couple of nights. Other guests were a bit noisy and inconsiderate of their \"smoking choices\", but I do not hold that against the property. The Bed was comfy, shower was great. Will keep this property in mind for future NC trips.
