This hotel is undergoing major renovations. The room was fine and clean, but older. The lobby ad downstairs smelled like major chemicals and/or bleach killed mold. The smell was tough. The hotel will probably be great once everything is done.

The hotel is under construction, our first room had no AC, our replacement room had no switches on lamps, brown/black stains on the blankets that we saw in the morning, and water in shower that never got hot. Shouldn’t be open in this state.

The stay was okay . There wasn’t any bed bug which is what I was concerned about . But over all the hotel was dirty & hot . The ice container had dirt left around the rim of the top . There was hair left in the sheets , the tub flooded , the carpet was ripped up by the door , the door did not close all the way unless you forcibly shut it , there was dirty rags and cups left around the room , and it was HOT . Took us leaving the air conditioning on 62 just to get some type of coolness & had to use personal fan as well . The breakfast wasnt giving at all , But it was free so I guess there’s that . Over all , it’s alright for a quick night to lay your head but wouldn’t recommend for a vacation stay . We definitely will not be returning .

I have been staying here when I come to town and they literally treat you like family. I say it’s my home away from home. Very peaceful and laid back atmosphere. The breakfast is A1. Hands down the best coffee. I have No desire to lodge anywhere else when in Cornelius/Lake Norman. They are renovating the property but that’s not ever been a problem either. Try it out. They will not disappoint!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰
