Wasn’t comfortable I didn’t stay overnight
So, from the road the building looked old and When I was driving up I said to myself I know that’s not where the hotel is.. It was though. I check into the room first floor, my first room the toilet had a leak, was water around it in the back. Move to room across the hall, Had a smell when I turned off the air , smelled like feet. But the light console had some brown rust / weird looking stuff all over it which made me feel yucky. The beds were clean pillows Also ., but I didn’t feel at ease… so I ended up asking for a refund. Didn’t stay more than a couple hours as I debated with myself if I could drive home or if I needed to suck it up .. was told I could get 20% towards the room and or move to another room. I just wanted to leave and drive the 2 hours instead of stay where I wasn’t comfy . So taking a loss. Waiting to see the charges of refund in my account now and a phone call to verify this from them. Was told 2-3 days I’ll hear something. The lady with the red hair and other lady Trinity were very very nice to me. I told her that COUNTS FOR A WHOLE LOT. Customer service is very important regardless so thanks again.

Beware Ganja Fest's
Checking in was easy, facilities like breakfast area and gym looked nice and in good shape. Riding up in the elevator to the 3rd floor was an experience as it resembles and sounds like an elevator built by medieval amusement park operators missing safety permits. The room was comfortable, Shower was a bit unique with a swivel head attachment but pressure and temp was decent. The mattress had a full encasement and the bed was clean. It was firm which I like. Now I know Hotels can't stop stupid from renting, but this one seems more susceptible. Even though there are no smoking, no vaping signs in plain sight there was still a cheech and chong fest on my floor. And these ganja loving, putrid cloud spewing folk; set off the fire alarms at regular intervals until nearly 2am. The stink nearly caused me to leave.

Nice staff and updated clean room - the bathroom definitely needs an update but overall it's a great value for less than $100. Safe location and so convenient to Wake Forest University.

We stayed here for an event across the street at the arena. It was close and convenient. Loved not having to drive or pay for parking. We checked in on 10/25 at about 5:00. There was a long line to check in. Front desk staff was patient and professional. They got us through the line pretty quickly. The hotel is a little shabby, but did not seem unclean. They increased the price of the room for the event across the street.

This was the filthiest room I’ve ever stepped into. I looked around and walked directly out to book another hotel. The sliding window would not close about an inch, which is a huge safety issue. The room had lipstick smeared on the back of the bathroom door, stains all over the carpet, sticky something had been spilled on the tile area in front of the bathroom and I peeled back the sheets to find a hair. There was only one person checking in guests when we arrived at 3:30. It took us about 30 minutes to get checked in and when we left, there was a line of about 20 people waiting to check in. It would have been impossible to even speak to someone about the room condition before we left there. In summary, I would have slept in my car before I would have slept in that terrible room.
