The first room we checked into had a broken sink faucet handle. So we were moved to another room. It does not look like the new room had been cleaned from the previous guest. Leftover food was in the refrigerator. Long hair was on the bathtub walls and tub bottom. Although the bath sink did not leak, it looked like the drain under the sink was sealed with some kind of putty (white) on the metal drain pipes. I mentioned these issues to the clerk at checkout, and they did not seem to be concerned. We visit the area frequently but will probably not be staying here in the future. Based on the above issues. On a positive note, the employee taking care of the breakfast area did a fantastic job.

The staff I engaged with were very helpful. I feel the property is understaffed leading to cleanliness issues and also maintenance concerns. It could use some attention in these two areas to bring it up to par. On a positive note the breakfast was on time and good and the ac worked just fine.

The lobby appears clean and well maintained. The staff was excellent. However the rooms are very dirty. They had dirt, rust, and stains inside the bathroom. In the shower on the floors. The tub had stains in it. There was no conditioner and the hair dryer didn’t work. The floors were sticky in the entire room, there was a musk smell. I would spend the extra $500 to stay in a neighboring hotel next time.

Do not stay here. I know it’s on the cheaper side if you’re trying to go to Southport or BHI for the day but save yourself the hassle and headache and book elsewhere. Seriously. Cockroaches were found in our first room, no apology from the front desk worker and to be honest, she didn’t seem too surprised when we came and told her which was even more disturbing…. our second room apparently flooded so bad while we were gone it was leaking into the kitchen. Again, the staff didn’t really seem to care on either incident. Do not stay here.

We spent 3-nights at this hotel. The first night cost $155 plus taxes, the second and third night cost $299 each plus taxes for a toal of $833.94. This hotel was definately not worth the price. When we first arrived in our room the bed was made, however when we turned the comforter down, the sheets were dirty and had been slept in. The staff had made the bed without putting on clean sheets. We contacted the front desk, they inspected and agreed that clean sheets had not been put on. The front desk lady was very nice about the situation and immedeately changed the sheets.
The bed mattress was totally worn out.
Breakfast was very limited.
But the shower head was good.

It made me worry about about leaving belongings in the truck Lastly, the elevator was not in good shape. Stuttered and banged and was not re-assuring.

The TV only worked using the physical button on the TV. Remote did not work. Couldn't change channel or volume. Breakfast at 8am was cold and old. They could not make more eggs. I couldn't find any help to even get a napkin. Carpets were dirty. Elevator made scary noises and fridge made loud noise all night.

The condition of the room I was assigned was absolutely dreadful, and I say this as a 22-year-old. There were stains in the shower, an old roll of open toilet paper, a fridge with rust on the inside, and the floors were filthy with stains. I wore pink socks, and after just ten minutes of walking on the floors, they turned black. Additionally, the bedding and couch were stained. I understand that some places may be outdated, but that doesn't excuse a lack of cleanliness. I was extremely disgusted and concerned about staying there. The only reason my partner and I did was that it was 11 o'clock at night, and finding another place to stay seemed impossible. Please, do better, so no one else has to pay $230.00 to stay in a place that is below average.

The room was a handicapped equipped room and didn't have a handicap accessible shower. It was a tub shower which made it pretty hard to get a shower. The sheets were very worn and almost see through in places. The tub in the shower was dirty. Other than that the room was spacious and was adequate for our needs. Breakfast really didn't have an attendant to make sure there was eggs and sausage for the guest. Had to go and track someone down to fill waffle mix etc. Overall the hotel could use some love and updates. Would rate my stay a 3 out of 5.

The room was clean but the fixtures were old, the bathroom door cracked at the bottom. The front desk was mostly unmanned. I never saw one person working the breakfast area. There was zero thought given to people who have food allergies (nothing was marked, no alternatives, no staff to check ingredients). Finally, the beds need to be replaced as the springs could be felt on both mattresses. A bit disappointing for a Wingate and the price point.

it was terrible, had a 3 night stay but somehow they had checked me out the first
After breakfast I had a email asking when I was going to leave ! I still had 2 more nights
Went to front desk , she said I checked out last , that key had been returned and no one was in room 327. HELLO I’m standing there with both keys in my pocket, I have not checked out ! I know mistakes can happen but , she didn’t apologize or attempt correct the mistake… she stood there and argued with me telling me I’m not there so cause I was getting loud where other customers can hear me , she calls the POLICE First time in my 70 years I have ever been escorted out of a place
I’m looking for a full refund cause I don’t see paying for the treatment they gave me !!!
No customer should have to argue with hotel to prove they are standing in front of them
No apology for there mistake and have the POLICE CALLED

What kind of low life Hotel is this

But now I can’t get anyone to own up to there attitude
Even staying, no one is smiling and no one speaks to you

The floor just outside the elevator on the 3rd floor and a spot that was obvious someone had spilled something. It was there Friday evening and still there Sunday when we checked out.

The second time we stayed the room was clean, everything in working order, although the toilet seat was unattached to the unit.
The breakfasts offered were dispensed cleanly and were replenished when needed. We did not take advantage of the pool or fitness room, but each appeared to be well maintained.
