The moment we opened the door, we were like, "Wow!" The room was in excellent condition, even better than my mom and I had imagined. Although it was only a short one-night stay, we will definitely stay at this hotel again next time we visit.

Excellent experience

Excellent experience. We visited during a popular time so the general manager reached out via email to notify that they would be charging one night’s rate to the card on file. Check-in was smooth, I called prior to notify that we would be arriving around 1am. Everything in the suite was clean and the furniture was in good condition. Mattress was very comfortable.

Great staff, very clean, close to NCSU. The only con to staying at this property is the thin floors. We could hear the folks above us walking in their rooms. I don't think they were stomping, just thin floors. A nice property but unsure if we would stay again because a good night's sleep goes a long way and there is not much you can do about noise if the floors are thin. Kudos to the staff all the way around
