Nice, clean room. Property is older and the exterior concrete and steps need work. Went for breakfast at 730 am and there was virtually nothing. Other than that a fine place to stay. No problem with the room at all. Great for the price!

The breakfast was fine. Our main room was clean. The staff wasn't super friendly. The main problem was my room's bathroom. The door would get stuck and not close properly, and the shower bar holding the shower curtain was curved like a smile, so the curtains would not close entirely and water would escape the ends onto the bathroom floor. Overall, 4/10, would not recommend.

We checked in at 4:15 and our room was still not cleaned. We had to wait another 15 minutes for our room to be cleaned. The bed was so hard and the pillows were throw pillow size instead of King sized and the ac unit was not getting the room cold. I would have hated to stay here in the summer. The best part was the breakfast and that was alright for a free breakfast.

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.

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.

Gym equipment was broken. Breakfast they said there would be yogurt and bread and eggs. I got down there there was 2 pieces old bread and a tray with dry egg pieces. The staff were in the back of the hotel cooking, however there was trash EVERYWHERE. Old packages of meat trays everywhere on the ground. It smelled so bad. 0/10 Staff was okay, but they lied about what they provided, and they are the ones causing the trash. They are cooking in the back of the hotel their dinner and throwing the garbage on the ground outside their door. They take those Otis psunkmeyer mini muffins the cake ones and put them on a tray individually for the staff to eat and they looked extremely old. I’ll never in my life go here again
