A Very Good Hotel For the Price

I stayed at this EconoLodge because we were visiting a friend at UNC Chapel Hill Hospital. We were greeted promptly and with courtesy. I got our keys and went to out rooms. Both rooms were very clean. They were professionally done; by that I mean the beds were made, floors swept and mopped, all surfaces cleaned, sink cleaned, bathroom cleaned, with the toilet and tub sparkling. As far as bed comfort goes, the bed was a firm for me, but that's OK, it was only for 1 night. Overall, I thought it was a great stay. I have stayed in very much worse for the same price.

Good: Staff were fairly friendly and helpful. Price was relatively cheap. No bed bugs that we could see Bad: Room has a mildewy smell. Pictures showed a big breakfast offering. Reality was cereal and mostly cold things. Not what we thought it would be. "Lot lizards" crawling all over. The place obviously need some money pumped into it as there is a lot of wear and tear. Beds were fairly uncomfortable but were clean.

You Get What You Pay For

Got what we expected, generally satisfactory, and had no major issues with the hotel. Also, Harry at the front desk was kind and helped me with my car shipping by letting us leave the car in the parking lot after check-out and keeping the car key for the truck driver. We stayed here for one night before flight, and if you are looking for a short stay at an affordable price, this will be a good choice. But the couch was worn out and the leather cover was coming off. Don't expect much of their comp breakfast and you will encounter a couple of roaches on your way to the toilet at night.

Well, it is an older hotel but the rooms were okay. The main issue was that there was no breakfast - just a wafflemaker, juice and coffee. They could easily put in a toaster, some bread, bagels, etc.

First off let me say the staff was very kind. I believe EXPEDIA needs to vet properties that they are going to 3rd party with. I ended up having to book another room to finish off my stay in Raleigh. I would like to know if it is a hotel/motel that has long term residences living in them. I lost money because of this booking.
