Would we stay here… if they clean the rooms.

There were a few good things. Good air conditioning and close to LENOVO Arena. Staff was okay. Bed was somewhat comfortable. Now to the bad: Room was absolutely not clean and the bottom floor smelled like pot non stop. Bathroom was filthy and not clean. Had stains everywhere. Hanger was broke. Aluminum ball just randomly in the bathroom. “Clean” towers still had dirt and yellow stains on them. Sticky floor all over the room. I asked a person coming out if they liked it there and they said meh and now I see why.
Unclean room.

Dear Hotel Management, I am writing to express my disappointment with the condition of my recent stay at your hotel. The room was unfortunately not up to standard. There were noticeable stains on the chairs, and one of them had accumulated dirt and debris under the cushion. Additionally, the room's floor was unclean and emitted an unpleasant odor, as if it had been mopped with a greasy substance. Due to these conditions, my husband and I felt it necessary to purchase our own towels and bedding to ensure a more comfortable stay. Furthermore, there was a family with young children staying in the lobby area, which created a rather chaotic and noisy environment. Despite these issues, I would like to acknowledge that the front desk staff were very pleasant and helpful. I hope you will take my feedback seriously and address these concerns to improve the experience for future guests. Sincerely, Mrs. McKoy

Horror hotel

Upon check-in, we were told that the room I had asked for was not available and they did not have handicapped rooms, I asked for a walk in shower because I had hip surgery . I had also asked for a suite with a sofa, Rashsa, said they didn't have any rooms like that, website says they do. Was given a room 314 top floor, no towels. Coffee pot wasn't working, toaster out of order, no cups,no plates,no silverware, roaches running in the cabinets, ice maker didn't work , THEY GAVE US AN ICE TRAY ,said that's the best they could do. Bathroom had black hair everywhere, I used my dawn dishwash to clean the tub and sink. BEDS WERE VERY OLD, THEY SQUEAK everytime you moved. Metal rusty squeeks. People hanging around smoking pot all night.

100% catfished

The hotel.com photos are not even close to reality! First, I was coming in on business at the last minute and was looking at the photos - I purposely picked this place due to the breakfast photo. None offered! The bathroom was so run down. The tub was dirty - I didn’t even shower. The bedding had stains. The fridge was 100 years old & loud. This place 100% cat fished me! I’ll never be back & so disappointed I wasted over $100 here! The location is also random! By a school. I love the trailer parked in a handicap spot too! Ridiculous.

Bathroom faucets, toilet and tub were not clean. I cleaned myself and so much dirt came off. The kitchen area was also dirty. The room had a terrible smell and the ac worked on and off. We had to sleep with the window open to cool the room down. The beds were super uncomfortable. The staff were rude as I had to argue with them for a room change. After arguing, they allowed the room change but we decided to stay in the room after finding the other room was even dirtier.

Never stay here. Period.

There were roaches and our room was not clean. Makeup was on our comforter when we pulled the cover back. The front desk receptionist was never there. Coffee was cold. Horrible stay everything dirty and rusty. To be in Cary I’m really surprised.
