Felt very unsafe and not very clean in or around property. Check in staff not very friendly. Parking attendant not present for a long period of time upon arrival,so our vehicle just sat with keys in ignition for at least 30 minutes or longer. Had to sit and watch vehicle until someone came to park it because i was not comfortable leaving it. And had to pay the valet fee on top of that. No other choices for this hotel for parking. Will never return to this hotel

Very noisy.You can hear everything from the rooms beside you and hallway. After spending $2400 on rooms,wouldn't give us a late check out. Rooms are small, was a little crowded with 2 people maneuvering around.Lady at check in was not very friendly. Valet guys were very friendly and more helpfull.Be prepared to walk up the hill from Broadway.

Broadway wasn’t too far away, getting to Broadway wasn’t hard. Coming back to the hotel there is a bit of an incline. The room was clean but small, valet parking only and an extra $65. The first valet guy we had checking in was very rude. At check out different valet; he was fabulous and nice. Overall not bad.

Sheraton is across the street.

Awful customer service. Dirty room, definitely not cleaned from the last reservation. Slept on top of the covers bc a refund wasn’t possible. Do yourself a favor and stay across the street at a different hotel. Literal trash and someone else’s pills in the floor. The soap bottles in the shower were empty from the last person. There was also a spider on the pillow. It’s one of the noisiest locations I have ever stayed in Nash. Needless to stay we were misled by the clean pics but don’t be bamboozled…this is a 70s motel with its outside doors and a paint job and cheap vinyl flooring as their upgrades. We got skewered by the price hike on a hot weekend. This is a negative rating motel at best.

Not Recommended

The parking is a sham and a scam. Valet only and cost me $131.00 for 4 days. They lost my car key once which delayed us 30 minutes. Rooms were old and access was dirty. We could here all the traffic outside and balcony voices and neighbor roo voices. Regret switching from mainstream hotel chain. Walking in/around from Broadway not safe at night. Spent another $60 on ubers to get back each night. Twice there was no valet attendant when we arrived late in the evening.

Nice staff. Pictures of room were very deceiving, a lot smaller than the pictures. The sink in the bathroom drained very slowly, at least a minute to drain each time used. The door to the outside didn’t seal correctly so the wind would move the door a lot.
