This place is off I-77 at the Sunset Rd/exit 16 just north of I-85. Days in wanted $49 and looked scummy, even lobby smelled. Both Microtel and Sleep Inn are located behind Jack in Box and Waffle House. Microtel was $54 or $49 w/AAA or $47 w/coupon from green coupon book at rightside entrance into Denny's across the street(Sunset). (Make sure you get the North Carolina book, not the South Carolina one!) Sleep Inn was $59 walk-in, and $54 w/coupon, had indoor cooridors, indoor pool, and the lobby and rooms are nice and new. Sink was outside toilet/shower door which bothered wife when shaving, but ok with me personally. Coffee maker and small fridge in room, free wireless internet with multiple online connections hotspots, free breakfast was typical continental: coffee or decaf or tea, milk, juice, pastries, Frosted flakes, Raisan Bran, oatmeal, grits, hard boiled eggs, apples, oranges (front desk gentleman (about 54 years old) even got me 2 bananas when I mentioned how my wife has one with coffee every morning - and did it without me asking!). Rooms were clean, modern, granite sink area, clean comfortable beds and pillows, good AC. Microtel looked nice too, but pool as outside and cold, hallways outside, helpful staff though. Haven't seen pool yet, no time, but heard others using it.

Good hotel but no food,No means of transpotation near by. Car is a must if you are staying here. Room was good and size also decent.

Myself, my husband and our 2 year old stayed here after a one day business visit to Charlotte. We had planned to drive home, but were tired at the end of the day and decided to stay overnight at the last minute.

We grabbed one of those coupon books and tried a few other places, all over which were booked. We tried this place (called) and found that they had room. We were given the coupon book rate of $59.95 for a Monday night. Funny, when we got there, we saw this huge hotel and realized that we were the ONLY guests- a little spooky! We never saw anyone else other than 2 staff members our entire stay.

They have changed the name now to "Sunset Inn" by the way; maybe it's under new management.

Basically, the place is alright. Definitely nothing to write home about. The front desk man, an Irish man, was very friendly and helpful. He gave us extra pillows, suggested restaurants, and tried to be as accommodating as possible. The room was very basic- there is no door to the bathroom, so make sure you're not sharing it with anyone you aren't comfy with. The sink did not drain well, which kind of grosses me out. The carpet was worn looking but the room seemed clean. I still took precautions and wiped it down with sanitizing wipes, mainly because I have a 2 year old. We ordered pizza and ate it in the bed because there was no table in the room.

The elevator smelt like urine the first night- the next morning it smelled better. The swimming pool was very small and not too appealing (it did kind of look like an oversized bathtub). We decided not to get in, but this was because it smelled strongly of chlorine (that's a good thing), and we had already checked out of our room. It did look clean, though.

The continental breakfast sucked, to be blunt. There was no-name brand frosted flakes and raisin bran and they tasted cheap. My son loves muffins but handed these back to us after taking a few bites! The milk also tasted weird, so I didn't drink it. We ended up going to Waffle House.

They lock the hotel doors at night, the hostess said. I'm not sure if that made me feel better or worse.....Also, there's a sign in the parking lot that says the guest assumes all risk when parking in the parking lot. Hmmmm....we were sure to take out all our valuables and we parked in front of a light close to the entrance.

Finally, I woke up in the night to use the bathroom and after turning on the light, noticed a little spider running across the pillow where my son's head was laying. It wasn't a big spider (it really was teeny-tiny, like a pinhead), but I guess the thought of there being one in the bed is kind of unnerving.

The bed was very comfy, though. The Irish man said they had just ordered in all new mattresses and he said they were Sertas.

To sum it up, I guess for $59.95 it isn't too bad. If you just want a cheap place that is fairly clean to lay your head at night, this will do. It didn't feel too unsafe (I've definitely seen worse), and at least the staff was pleasant. I don't think I would return, though. Actually, I couldn't wait to leave! It was just something kind of depressing about this place!

Good location close to Interstate 77. Hallways had odd smell. Room size was okay for 2A, 2C for one night. But that stupid sliding door to the washroom (no handle or knob) was tough to move back and forth. And why they put a sink outside the toilet is beyond me. As my daughter pointed out: " Dad, people will have gone to the bathroom and will have to use their dirty hands to open the door before they can wash their hands." Yuck! The pool is an oversized bathtub, ridiculously small. At breakfast, we had to wait for incoming cleaning staff to finish making their breakfasts before we could utilize the toaster which was broken (only two slots working). Breakfast selection was toast, bagels, a couple of cereals and some fruit - apples that were wrinkled and soft. Since we only paid $55 Canadian, I guess we shouldn't have expected more.
