Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The first room we were in was 301. Went to go to bed and a wet spot came up from under the sheet. Smelled like urine. I have pictures. Pulled the sheet off and the bed pad had a large urine spot and smell on the bed pad. The pad also had several other stains. Very nice front desk staff took me to another room to preview all looked ok. Turns out that room didn’t have hot water. When checking out I mentioned the hot water issue and was told it takes a while to warm up. I had let it run for 20 minutes without any hot water coming in. Breakfast items were stored on the floor of a utility closet off of the lobby. (Was left wide open for patrons to see). After laying in someone else’s urine the first day I wasn’t eating breakfast there anyway.

We didn’t have high expectations for the price but it didn’t meet them. This place seems to attract long term low cost stays which made it feel a bit like a housing project. There were some possibly intoxicated guys trying to get a room at check in making a bit of an uncomfortable scene at the front door which felt unsafe with my small children. Everything is very run down with stained carpets and dirty walls. We almost didn’t stay but had very limited options.

Welcome rest stop on the way to the Outer Banks.

We stay here overnight on our way to North Carolina Beaches. The staff is always accomodating and friendly.The rooms are well cleaned, and the beds are comfy. Breakfast is so-so, but there are other nearby options if that is important to you. There is a trolley ride around town, which the kids love. Historic downtown is within walking distance, with lots of restaurants and activities to do.

Horrible

Hotel is in bad shape. Elevator was sticky. Room smelled, had smokers in it. Did not feel safe in that particular area. Homeless / shady people there. Then a domestic dispute near us, screaming at 5:15 am. Police were called. I wouldn’t even post this on your website as an option.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Pros: The room itself is very clean and colorful. The A/C was icy cold. It was quiet. Dowtown is walkable and 5 blocks awaywith really good restuarants with outdoor closed-pedestrian street seating. Convenient to the quaint dowtown area. Cons: The exterior of the hotel is aged and gives the impression that the rooms would be likewise but fortunately the rooms are brighly colorful and clean. The people walking int he immediate area can seem suspect......as in a bit "rough" looking or "off" due to alcohol or substance use, hence at times it can seem slightly sketchy. If you need a cheap hotel, clean,convenient to nice places to eat and coffee shops.....book it
