Ive not woke up in so much pain, the bed and "pillows" were so hard I couldnt even move to get out of the bed. Had to take 2 extra strength Tylenol before I could move. The breakfast was sad. This isnt worth more the $50 a night even as a pass through 1 nighter. It definitely looked questionable pulling in to, the pictures make it look better than reality. There were 2 lights out and the shower curtain rod was bent and you couldn't close the shower curtain as it just slid back to the middle. All around not a great experience other than the staff.

OK Stay for F1 Race Weekend

The price was right for a 4 night stay while we attended F1 Race Weekend at COTA. The rooms do not have coffee makers, so we had to get our coffee from the Lobby. A few times during our stay the coffee dispenser was empty and we had to wait for a refill. The lobby and hall ways had a strange smell but the room was fine.

Nasty!!

The place was nasty and didn’t feel safe. Smelt like a cherry car freshener. Guy at counter was nice but we couldn’t stay. Lost $265.00 but I’m still alive. The property has signs posted around not responsible for cars and damage. Asked about that and was told the police could be there in about 1/2 hour. Don’t go there!!!!!!
