When I arrived, the woman behind the desk couldn't find my reservation. It was almost midnight. I had called earlier in the day to ensure that my reservation was guaranteed for late arrival. Needless to say, after driving 4 hours I was not pleased to hear that my reservation could not be found. After about 10 minutes of explanations and confirmation numbers, the receptionist finally figured out that the person with whom I had spoken earlier had already checked me in.

The walls are preposterously thin and I heard WAY more than I needed to hear from the couple next door.

The bathroom was clean and everything worked properly. I had a room at the end of the hall, so it was a good size. The bed & pillows were reasonably comfortable. This location was convenient to all of the places that I needed to get to that weekend.

  • Liked — The size of the room and bathroom

This place will cut it for a one night stay when nothing else is available. But it needs a makeover, and that should include a new staff coming with it. I arrived at midnight, and there were some real shady looking people in the lobby hanging out with the front-desk staff. The attitude at check-in told me I clearly interrupted whatever fun they were having. The housekeeping staff feel the need to yell down the halls to one another at 7am in the morning. The heater smelled pretty bad when I turned it on. You could probably find hardwood floors that are softer than the beds. Thankfully, my company recently took this place off our list because of so many complaints.

Take your money across the road to the Hilton...

Stayed for 2 nights 5/7-5/9 - got room through Priceline for $55. Website rate was $104. Room was average, pretty clean. Bath sink faucet was loose and had very little water pressure, but tub was fine. Towels were like sandpaper, however, and pretty thin.
Hotel only offers queen size beds (never heard of such a thing at a popular chain hotel) and the bed was pretty hard and uncomfortable.
Front desk staff was very friendly. Location was good, near I-85 and close to downtown, as well as I-485 and I-77. Would consider again if price is right.
Did not try restaurants.

The room was a queen size room. It was clean, bathroom, bed and all. Kind of out dated but was still comfortable. Nice view, one thing. When turning on the heater, it sort of smelled like something was burning. But overall, front desk lady was kind, good service. Nice room, just need to be updated and the heater.

Booked 4 nights, arrived a day late, stayed 3 nights. Desk attendant was obnoxious on the phone, same person more obnoxious in person. Don't eat at the restarant...under staffed, meals served in bits and pieces. Most of all, served us spoiled meat, bad creamers with our coffee and cold breakfast. I spent the day being sick to my stomach!
I did express my dissatisfaction to the acting GM. He explained to me that he was brought in to stop exactly these kind of problems. Although he comped my next stay, I would be reluctant to use this hotel again, even for free.
I booked on priceline, which appears to be an excuse for the hotel not to monitarily adjust the final bill.
I'm glad i'm home!
