It had a good rating, but... I would not stay here again. The breakfast was almost nothing there. Some things were not working, and there was no one to restock the breakfast items. I have traveled for 50 years. I expect a little more.

Lobby looked good so I had high hopes for the room. All I can say is the beds were comfortable. Bathtub needed a good scrubbing . Toilet was wobbly-was afraid I'd tumble off at some point. Outlet by sink was hanging out of the wall. Breakfast-yuck. Coffee machine was broken, but did see a new one being wheeled in when we left.

This is an older (cheaper) property, so go in with that expectation and you won't be disappointed. The facility is older, and reasonably maintained, but shows its age. The room was clean, clean linens, clean bathroom and had a fridge and microwave. Fairly quiet area and well lit parking lot, and doesn't feel insecure. Overall, if you're looking for reasonably priced accomodations, its a good place, but has no frills and is a bit dated. I've stayed here several times over the last couple years and its not too far from Downtown Charlotte, and does the job.

Absolutely disgusting. Walked in to our room at midnight exhausted after getting done at a concert and as soon as we turn the lights on roaches start running everywhere!! The front desk did not want to help and still charged me so now I am having to dispute the charge and I had to drive back home 4 hours at midnight!!! DO NOT STAY HERE

The room smellled like pee and when I told the front seat that I wanted disinfectant they said that the room was clean and it was not needed. The door to the room did not lock and was a huge safety concern. The toilet stopped working and the assistant manager said he’d give me a plunger for me to fix it on my own since maintenance was not available
