Staff were friendly. Room was okay. Bathroom was small and awkwardly designed. Shower drain was poor. Breakfast had several options.
We checked in for 3 nights. The room was nit very good, rusty metals in bathroom, window cannot open and AC not working in smelly room. Asked for ac to be repaired, front desk promissed for service but nothing. Asked again in the morning and after lunch and despite promisses nothing happened. We spent a night w friends and came back the next day to our room 245 and out luggage and clothing and toiletrues all gone. Called the front desk explaining the problem we did not have out formal clothing for that night and no jackets and he hung up on me. Came downstairs to explain in person. An hour later was explained they moved our stuff to other room and located our stuff. Was asked to come and pick up since front desk person could not leave or send someone to bring our stuff. So I come to pick up and was given out luggage and all out stuff in big black trash bag. Imagine evening dress (new with tags) together w shoes, all underware just dumped. Had to spend time to clean and dewrinkle our stuff. Tried to reach Jennifer, the manager for all 3 days and could not by phone (8 times) and in person 5 times. Never there, never available and vmail is full, no one can leave a message. So this is really bad, no communication and especially taking our stuff without telling us. Not acceptable, nobody to complain to or talk.
This property was a letdown. The elevators weren't working regularly. The halls were dirty, paint peeling everywhere. The breakfast bar was reminiscent of summer camp. The pool was drained. No indication of this at check in or during the reservation (the kids were upset).
Every trash bin in the hotel was full the whole weekend.
This property boasts being a great location for visiting fans and family of the university, they should be embarrassed.
Checked into the hotel for a little getaway and purposely got a room that had a hot tub. Paid extra money for the room with the hot tub only for it to be filthy. Could not call to the front desk because the phone was disconnected. Had to call from my cell phone. When I told the clerk, all they did was say they’ll mention it to housekeeping. Did not offer to move rooms or any other resolution. I spent 20 minutes cleaning the tub myself.
The room was filthy and musty smelling. Bathroom door wouldn’t shut. This place needs to be remodeled and cleaned thoroughly. We will never stay there again.
It was clean and the beds were comfortable. The breakfast was good, everyone we encountered was polite, helpful, and friendly. There was coffee available for free that was pretty good and there were snacks as well as water available to buy. I would stay there again.
The staff was very friendly, very reasonable and welcomed our dog. We were visiting Wake Forest and it was the closes hotel. It met our needs but not a fancy place.
