I didn’t get the bartender’s name but she was great and very pleasant, she did an awesome job. The front desk young lady wasn’t the warmest person but that didn’t bother me. The problem was when I saw 2 roaches in my room and went back to the front to request a different room, she acted like I was a huge burden for her and was dismissive while telling me my room was now on the second floor and I had to go outside to get to it. I expressed my thanks for the new room and nothing. No “you’re welcome” or “no problem” - just very inhospitable and cold. The new room was very clean.

Traveled to Raleigh for a concert. This motel is so close to everything which was nice. Staff/check-in was smooth. The retro updates were tastefully done. Rooms had a slight smell (like a pool) but overall I would stay again.
