Excellent service/. Clean
From the moment we arrived, the staff provided excellent and welcoming service. They were incredibly understanding of our situation and went above and beyond by allowing us to check in early, which made a huge difference for us—especially after having a bad experience at another hotel.
The room and overall property were spotless and well-maintained. You can tell cleanliness is a top priority here, and it truly gave us peace of mind. The customer service was top-notch, and the staff made us feel valued and cared for throughout our stay.
Highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, cleanliness, and genuinely kind service. We will definitely be back!

The breakfast wasnt very tasty and not stocked very well. The ice machine on our floor did not work so had to go to a different floor and walk quite a bit to get to it.

Option for Visiting Wake Forest
It was clean and the beds were comfortable. The breakfast was good, everyone we encountered was polite, helpful, and friendly. There was coffee available for free that was pretty good and there were snacks as well as water available to buy. I would stay there again.

The place is not clean, we even found cockroaches, we had to ask for towels and toilet paper, the reception staff was absolutely rude and disrespectful, no one solved anything
