Disliked: Amenities
While the room was ok seemed clean enough and the bed was comfortable. Plenty of water pressure and hot water but the shower drain was clogged so water did not drain well from the tub. There is no breakfast offered so Expedia needs to remove that from the listing. The lobby seemed nice from the window but was unable to go inside during check in I assume due to crime the doors were locked and there was a glass bank type window to check in with the front desk. People seemed to be living at this hotel long term vs just a quick stay. People were up all hours of the night outside smoking and doing who knows what coming and going. Was noisy and the sliding glass doors to the rooms did not seem the be the most secure with just a little hardware store hinge lock added on since the primary door lock was broken. There was also the main door to the room which the primary lock did work. Seemed not to be the safest area of town. Back in the day was probably a nice hotel with the courtyard and pool area but really needs some major updates along with security to monitor and run off people coming and going all hours of the night probably dealing etc. Would not recommend due to sketchy area and folks staying there.

The property is undergoing renovations. The rooms were nice but since the roof is under construction my first room leaked a small stream through the fan vent in the bathroom. Which I figured out at 3am while it was pouring rain (which is why there was a leak). I had to go to the office in the pouring rain to get a new room key, then drive around to the new room. Both rooms were nice, just changing in the middle of the night in the rain was inconvenient. The staff was exceptionally helpful and made the actual room transfer easy. I’m not sure if I would stay there again until the renovation is finished, but the staff were great, and the rooms were clean.

bed was clean and comfortable. Otherwise this place was horrid! room was not at all what advertisement said. Outdoor door was screwed shut. bathroom was so dirty I would not even think about showering...do you ever clean the shower/tub?? no coffee pot in room and no breakfast of any kind. This room was barely a place to put your head to sleep. Overall this stay was disgusting!

Customer service was very poor. Front desk service was extremely rude and unprofessional. Drug addicts was allowed to enter my room to dump our garbage. Addicts were sleeping in the stairwells and present around the hotel day and night. The rooms and the hallways had an unpleasant stinge. I reserve 2 queen and was give standard beds. No breakfast was served per reception.

If I could give this ZERO STARS, I would. Everything was broken, black mold everywhere, the pool was green and something was growing in it. The doors wouldn’t shut completely. It’s smelled awful and the air conditioner wasn’t hooked up and was laying on the floor.

Never again

It was in a BAD area. It was a stay bc our booked room, at another hotel, was given away. We heard police/rescue sirens ALL night. There were homeless people sleeping under the stairs,outside. There were people and kids running up and down the hall past 12am. I seen a couple bugs in the room. The room and FRONT of hotel itself looked, on surface, much more cleaner than the Days Inn we stayed at in Virginia. The front desk employees were nice. They have to be aware of the sketchy people on the hotel property. Not worth the $100+ per night. Also be prepared to pay $100 deposit (cash is best).

Service was extremely poor. Check-in was slow and when we went to go to breakfast we were told there was none. Our booking said breakfast was included and there was a sign inside with breakfast times. There was no explanation of why this was not to be provided. The member of staff seemed agitated that we had asked/were expecting breakfast to be provided. The room itself was a good size and cleaned to a moderate standard. The bathroom was functional, although the toilet flush buttons were slightly challenging to access because there was limited space between worktop of a toilet flush. One key thing to note is that the walls are very thin so you can hear activity in neighbouring rooms. This was very disruptive during our stay. The area itself is also not very welcoming - people hanging around the parking lot and close to the accommodation. The location might seem suitable for travel to/from Charlotte but given the negatives (noisy, poor service etc.) I would not recommend staying here.
