We stayed here for 3 nights while visiting family. Front desk and other service staff we encountered were very nice, accommodating our early check in. Room was clean. Bathroom was clean but the shower area could use a redo - mildew/mold on the ceiling. Breakfast was as expected and had hot offerings. Pool was decent but patio are could use a good cleaning - chairs were had mold/mildew on them. Would stay here again.

The elevator was broken, so we had to walk up the stairs carrying our luggage. I made the reservations in my name, but my husband was able to check in. I thought this was a little odd since the reservations were in my name. Could have been a disaster if there were any problems within the family.

The staff was wonderful, friendly, and very efficient. Beds were comfortable and the room was spacious. However, the room smelled musty and there was visible mold on the wall by the light switch plate in the bathroom, water dripping from the light switch plate on the other side of that wall, and moisture in the air. Overall, I would not stay here again.

Comfortable, clean & quiet location. The ceiling in the bathroom was dirty & old looking- out of touch with the rest of the bathroom. The cooling system did not seem efficient on auto& it was loud enough I had to to turn in tv volume to hear over it. Breakfast was excellent, service at front desk was excellent.

Room was a good size and clean. Assume the floors were heated as they were warm to bare feet. Nice comfy bed and pillows. Instructions on coffee maker inadequate. Note clear on when pwr button is pushed and or brew. Liked the easy ability to change the temp in the room. The grab bar at the shower was not positioned so it was handy while the shower curtain is closed. Staff was pleasant and helpful.

Our stay was wonderful. We had the room with a king sized bed and accessible with a roll in shower that also had a pull down seat with a shower head that is easily reached from the seat. The internet worked well and we had a nice big flat screen TV on the wall opposite the bed. The AC was good and cold. The hot breakfast was really good. When we're in Apex again, this is where we will want to stay!

Hotel provided shampoo/conditioner/body wash in dispensers in the shower which was nice that we didn't have those mini bottles and have to request more.

It started with the check in. Cherry upgraded us "just because she could", and I felt like a family member. We weren't actually there very long, but every person we encountered had that southern hospitality. We were also very impressed with the breakfast - a step up from most other places. We definitely will return.
