It was ok
We were ok with the room, although the floor was dirty, both the carpet and the laminate. We also would have appreciated having an ice machine available since there are no ice trays and the ice maker is not hooked up in the room refrigerator/freezer. We did enjoy the coffee, although it was not available all the time, only in the morning.

Room for improvement
Overall the property is nice and the staff is very nice but there is room for improvement. We chose this property because it was one that actually had a separate room and a living room and kitchen area which is a plus for a family. They checked us into a room that was not ready for guest it was not clean at all & the carpet was soaking wet. They switched our room but that room also could have been cleaned better. The condition of the rooms look like they do a quick refresh but not a proper cleaning and I guess no one goes behind and inspects after. I feel like a property like this with the kitchen there should be a better standard of cleaning after each checkout to ensure a good guest experience for the next. The linen for the sofabed was balled up and just thrown in the closet so there is no way to tell if it was clean linen or not which was extremely off putting. This property is also extremely low staffed the front desk clerk has to multitask.
The linen for sofa bed just thrown on shelf in closet and there were no pillows. This was like this when we checked in, very disappointing how am I supposed to know these were cleaned.

CANCEL YOUR RESERVATION
The rooms are pretty run down. It seems they renovated but it was clearly a bandage over an oozing sore. The hallways are musty, the elevator triggers anxiety, the doors dont opened properly. I hurt my shoulder trying to open the back door. Oh, and the AC! Our AC was going out and I called the front desk. She said well the thermostat, which we already did. We had to get on the floor and go up under the unit to jiggle some wires. The AC went out at least 5 times. I only stayed here because i was in between leases. But its clearly shows that Management doesnt care

The property is clean. Our first night it was a little loud because the person above us was waking and or moving something across the floor. The location was great because it was near restaurants when we did not feel like cooking and the RDU airport was 15 minutes away.

Very dirty. We aren’t picky by any means but it was pretty gross. First room smelled like pot when we arrived. 3:30am we got woken up with a call that our smoke detector was going off (not to our knowledge as our room was silent) but we were told by another worker it’s likely from it being tampered with previously. We also had a completely broken shower in our first room. Despite staying mid week with a nearly empty parking lot the night shift was unable (unwilling?) to switch our rooms and left it for someone else to take care of later, so we weren’t able to shower until late in the afternoon on our second day. Both rooms were really dirty- especially in the bathrooms and kitchenettes. Pot smoking in the parking lot, super loud music late at night… while I realize those issues aren’t directly the hotel’s problem it just added to an overall underwhelming stay.

Most of employees were very nice, only one was horribly rude; avoided the desk whenever she worked. Had to move rooms twice bc refrigerator &/or freezer didn't work. Icemakers didn't work in any of them. Otherwise, nice & quiet with clean rooms & well-supplied kitchenette
