"Convenient to the Research Triangle. Inexpensive hotel. Interior was rather run-down, and the room hadn't been cleaned. We were moved to another room; it was clean, but again, looked rather worn. I'll pay more and stay elsewhere next time.2015-02-16"

"A poor motel experience. We waited an hour and 15 minutes to check in; the lobby was full of people, and the staff was going to each room to see if it was available. I asked for a non-smoking room, but my room smelled musty. There were spider webs in the corners of the ceilings, and the sheets had cigarette stains. Run away from this place.2016-11-07"

"This motel was a classic example of getting what you pay for. It needed an overhaul, and the bedding needed Lysol. The shower wall shell had a 2-foot crack, and the shower curtain needed to be replaced. The front desk clerk wasn't pleasant and didn't seem to care. Pay more money and stay somewhere else.2019-10-24"
"OK motel for the price. Pets were allowed, but my allergies didn't act up. The room was clean but dated, and the fridge wasn't cold enough to safely store food. People smoked outside the rooms, so smoke seeped into my room. Cigarette butts littered the walkways, and there were bags of dirty linens in the main walkway. I wouldn't stay here again.2019-06-20"
"I had an enjoyable stay, and the motel staff was nice and helpful.2018-06-10"
"Only stay at this motel if you're broke. The bedsheets had burn holes in them. The toilet didn't work. I asked for someone to come fix it, but no one did. 2018-06-05"
"The motel room was clean and comfortable, but it was noisy throughout the night because of people hanging out in the parking lot. Poor continental breakfast.2016-09-27"

"This motel was not what I was expecting. The room and decor were old and needed upgrading. The entire room smelled like it had years of built-up cigarette smoke. The carpet looked and smelled filthy, and the bed comforter looked old and dirty. I wouldn't even use the kitchen or microwave. The shower made a loud noise, and the water pressure was sporadic. The toilet ran all night, and one of the bedside lamps made a loud humming noise when it was on. The staff was helpful and friendly, and the location was convenient to my events. Don't recommend staying here.2015-11-03"
