Disliked: Cleanliness
The staff was courteous though the chicken progress was fairly long as they were distracted by some issues with another guests room. Our room was extremely small, much smaller than the other three rooms people in our group had but it was adequate. It could have been cleaner, there was still trash on the floor from the previous guests but overall it was comfortable. Love the location, lots of things within walking distance

While the staff didn’t create the problem, their excuses did! Came to property @ 2:40. Front desk, which was (1) person with a laptop😂 Was told check-in was not until 3:00. Came back @ 3:10 and there were an abundance of people in line. At that time the only excuse was that they had a busy day before & the rooms were still being cleaned. I was 4th that was finally checked in, which was at 4:30. The apparent reason for the delay was that the employees that performed the room cleaning were not @ work as US Border Control had been in the Raleigh/Durham area. Tell the truth and not give BS excuses... no one there to clean the rooms! Guests were given a free pass for breakfast the next morning. Came the next morning and there was (1) person in breakfast area working and (3) others guests in the area. Stood @ counter and FINALLY the manager of the hotel came and took our order. We were given our drinks and we proceeded to a table. After 30 minutes I asked where was our food. Deer in headlights response…you ordered what? Explained and after another 10 minutes later received our food which was (2) breakfast sandwiches. Before leaving asked for final bill as I had checked out before breakfast. The breakfast was charged to my bill. Told the front desk that it should have been at no charge & charges were taken off. Cool place, but staff…NOT!

Not really a hotel so much as a glorified Airbnb with a bar Plenty of people grouped regularly in the lobby at 5 pm waiting for a 3pm check in Watch out for additional “resort” and “destination” fees on check out

The hotel has a really unconventional setup, rooms either don't have windows, or halfwalls with the door (very much like motels) and its quite noise so your options are not really great.

Great location and lots of restaurants and activities nearby. However, I had booked a king room a couple of months ago, but when we checked in, I was told they were sold out and so they offered a queen room with no other options. We still had to pay $25 for parking and he offered a drink to make up for it. Then, there was only a partial roll of toilet paper in the room and didn’t realize this until settled in and refrigerator wasn’t plugged in so we had to plug it in and wait for it to cool but had cold drinks we needed to put in it. We could have called and had them deal with it and bring more supplies, but when you are paying over$300/night you expect the room to be ready and functional.

The rooms were ok. Nothing great. The outside of the rooms really looks run down. The staff was not very helpful. They gave us a list of restaurants in the area on the day we left. There is no breakfast at all. One coffee pot. So no decafee coffee. No juice. No nothing. Holiday in. Is a better hotel. I would stay at any hotel besides this one.
