Stayed here for 15 days as I looked for a new house to relocate to the NC area. Staff is exceptional. Area and rooms are very clean. Located near plenty of stores. It is off a busy street so you do hear traffic and sirens. But that wasn’t an issue for me. Free laundry and gym make this place a great choice for short or long term stay. Small kitchen area with full refrigerator, pots, pans, dishes, utensils and a dishwasher. Oh also they have a cabinet in the lobby with items to borrow air fryer, crockpot and more. Definitely recommend this hotel if you are visiting the area.

Stay was amazing, stayed for 8 nights, had kitchen with all the needed appliances, ac was good, bathroom was good, room was clean, for those wondering, the TV did have hdmi port for those who want to put something on the big screen. The staff were extremely friendly and nice, all of them who worked there during our stay. Very great time staying there, only complains we’re, found 1 cockroach 1 night, and 1 day fire alarm went off firetruck came, someone said it happens regularly, but don’t know what that was about. Lots of places around to eat, easy parking. 10/10 would come here again

Staff was very friendly and accomodating. Room and bed were good, but chair furniture could use some updating. Only real issue with property is parking. If you come in after 8-9pm, there may not be a parking spot.

We appreciated the dog walk area and waste station near the side door—very convenient to the stairs! Thank you for carpeting the stairs, also. (Our lab prefers carpet to hard surfaces.) The kitchenette had everything we needed to prepare the dogs’ meals and have snacks ourselves.

This is not my first time at this location. My stay is always enjoyable. Some furniture could use some reupholstering but most things are in good condition and everything is fully functional. Bed and bathroom are clean, the rooms are spacious and the staff is friendly. The only reason I don't give 5 stars is that some surfaces could do with cleaning every once in a while. Things like drawers, clothing hooks and frames and other wall hung items. I will definitely stay there again. Overall very satisfied.

We liked that the room had a kitchen, the bathroom was really nice and you had extra chairs. The only thing I didn't like was that I got a room with two double beds and wish I would have gotten one with two queens

Upon arrival, I was charged $10 extra than the total. I wasn’t informed that if I needed extra towels/bedding that I would need to go to the front desk…I thought housekeeping was available daily. Also upon inspection of the room, there was a hole in the closet door which appears to be from someone opening the door to widely. The beds were a little too soft for my comfort which made it extremely difficult for me to sleep during the night. The room could’ve been a little more polished but honestly it wasn’t too bad at all.

As I checked in the staff member Mr. Henry was checking someone else in. His presentation was of the charts if I didn't want to stay there but by listening to how well he presented to the customer in front of me. I felt more than welcome and was like "yeah I am staying here". Mr. Henry was Awesome. Then when I checked out the black gentlemen (sorry didn't get his name) at desk that night, he was very helpful when checking out. These two staff members were great.

Jay was very pleasant at check-in. He made the process a breeze and was very nice and polite. Overall the experience was decent. However, the morning of checkout, housekeeping knocked on my door 3-4 times upon my checkout time. My checkout time wasn’t until 11am. I think the ladies wanted to come in and clean but felt as though they were trying to rush me along. I answered the door shortly after 8:30 for one lady informing her that I wasn’t ready yet and that checkout wasn’t until 11. She was sweet and apologized. An hour or so later someone else was knocking. Then there was another knock…. I found this to be a bit intrusive. I ended up checking out around 10:30am which I had originally planned. Front desk staff were great. Housekeeping staff wasn’t rude, persay, it was just the persistent manner of knocking that was annoying.

The staff is friendly and pleasant to communicate with. The full kitchen (with utensils, etc.) in the rooms and Walmart in working distance complement each other and compensate for missing convenient pedestrian ways to the nearby plaza with a few (minimalistic) restaurants. The rooms are very good, clean, and equipped with fully functional devices.
