We arrived after hours for check in. Staff communication was exceptional, mostly with Lori. They are now pet friendly for an extra fee. Second floor room had elevator access and balcony with tiny view of the Cape Fear River. Room was immaculate and appeared new. Beds had mattress topper and were too squishy soft for our bones. Very nice and quiet hotel.
