Nice place to stay

Room temperature was very good as air conditioning was on. Clean room and bathroom. Not a lot of activity in hallways as I had a dog, he stayed quiet for the most part. Dog fee is $50 additional at check in and $10 per night. A little steep but is what it is. Bed was fine. Not super plush but I wasn’t uncomfortable. Full size refrigerator, sink, a nice little kitchen if you’re staying for a bit. Safe outside as your in Cary NC. Good stay.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! there are roaches. not only when we got there was the room gross. like dirty gross. the floor in the kitchen area was coming up, sticky, and the carpet had not been vacuumed in a while. the bathroom tube had gross stains and the floor was yellow. (was supposed to be white) the walls in the all had disgusting stains on them. the second night we were there we were walking back into the hotel and there were giant bugs outside. i thought maybe water bugs. but then we got into the hotel and there welder tiny light brown roaches in the hall way. we then got into our room and there was a roach ON THE WALL! there was no one at the front desk so we killed it. went through our stuff and took it to the car. the next morning when we told the staff they said sorry and then checked us out. i am fully disgusted and uncomfortable. please don’t stay here if you enjoy being clean.

I’ve worked in hospitality for the last 20 yrs. I received a 2 hour early check in for booking with Expedia. When we walked in at 1:00 pm the lobby smelled like a dirty bathroom and there was no one at the front desk. There was a sign saying the desk attendant was away assisting other guests. It took 3 minutes for her to come out. Check in is not until 3 so this is understandable. She had an inconvenienced attitude when asking what we needed. I said, I have a reservation and gave my name. She said check in wasn’t until 3:00 and I said I get an early one as an added amenity and had my phone open to the reservation details. She said something to the effect of “let me see your phone”’ so I showed her. She said oh yeah or something like that. The rest of check in was okay. We were given a first floor room at the end of the hall. There was an outside entrance with a door that slammed loudly, very often. The location was convenient but the noise was unfortunate and disturbing. This could have been the only room ready at our check in or it could have been retaliatory. The room had a off putting smell, like stale deodorizer, dark and drab with stained carpet and very “run down”. The bathroom floor and tub were dirty with hair and debris. The toilet was stained and there was no trash can. The queen bed was small, more like a full size mattress and the pillows were very small. The guest wifi never came up when searching for available networks, nor was the address written anywhere.

The hotel was affordable for how quickly I needed to book. However the bathtub and the sink in our bathroom clogged up really bad. The sink was a bit faster to drain, but the bathtub drained so slowly it was still full by the time we had to check out. We had also seen a few roaches, and I ended up killing one that was in the bathroom. I did tell the front desk, and they said that they’d report it to the GM, but have not heard anything back yet on that. The staff was nice, just a lil dismissive when I brought up the issues, which I know they’re probably tired of hearing the same complaints over and over, and from reading the other reviews, I know now I am not the only one to face these issues. Luckily I did not stay much longer, we ended up checking out way earlier than planned because the roach problem really turned us off.

Upon arrival we could not enter the hotel because the door was locked with no one at the front desk. After finally getting in to our room, there was a gaping hole in the ceiling. I called the front desk and they told me they were already aware of it but still booked that room for us. We also found multiple bugs in the bed, bathroom, and counter-space.

While the working staff were helpful, it was difficult to overlook the multiple amenities that were not working/very difficult to use. When we got to the room, we noticed we were missing soap, shampoo, and towels. The lock on the front door was not working, and the microwave would continuously beep throughout the night. It did the job for a short stay, but the quality of the room was subpar.
