Elevators broken on our end for the second year in a row! Suite was nice but nobody told us about access to the club room. I found out from a co-worker. Having to turn the tiny room fridge on every 2 hours myself is unacceptable. The food offerings during the ice storm were bad and overpriced. I think the waiter charged my group twice for a party of 6 on my Amex card. People smoking weed on my floor in the stairwell stinking up the hallway just outside my door. I’m a North Carolina Pest Control Association board member. I’m going to recommend we go somewhere else next year unless you address these issues.

The hotel and room was clean. Close to the airport. No issues there, but we had to pay for parking. $10 per day, even as a guest. That was unexpected and not justified. Other than that it’s a pretty decent place to stay for a couple nights.

I really enjoyed my stay. I was there for New Year's Eve celebration. The only complaint I had was there was no Free breakfast. You have to pay for everything. As expensive as the room was for one night you should at least get free breakfast. Other than that, the room was beautiful, clean and quiet. Staff were very nice and professional.I would recommend this hotel.
