Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The breakfast was fine. Our main room was clean. The staff wasn't super friendly. The main problem was my room's bathroom. The door would get stuck and not close properly, and the shower bar holding the shower curtain was curved like a smile, so the curtains would not close entirely and water would escape the ends onto the bathroom floor. Overall, 4/10, would not recommend.

We checked in at 4:15 and our room was still not cleaned. We had to wait another 15 minutes for our room to be cleaned. The bed was so hard and the pillows were throw pillow size instead of King sized and the ac unit was not getting the room cold. I would have hated to stay here in the summer. The best part was the breakfast and that was alright for a free breakfast.

Lobby looked good so I had high hopes for the room. All I can say is the beds were comfortable. Bathtub needed a good scrubbing . Toilet was wobbly-was afraid I'd tumble off at some point. Outlet by sink was hanging out of the wall. Breakfast-yuck. Coffee machine was broken, but did see a new one being wheeled in when we left.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is an older (cheaper) property, so go in with that expectation and you won't be disappointed. The facility is older, and reasonably maintained, but shows its age. The room was clean, clean linens, clean bathroom and had a fridge and microwave. Fairly quiet area and well lit parking lot, and doesn't feel insecure. Overall, if you're looking for reasonably priced accomodations, its a good place, but has no frills and is a bit dated. I've stayed here several times over the last couple years and its not too far from Downtown Charlotte, and does the job.

The room smellled like pee and when I told the front seat that I wanted disinfectant they said that the room was clean and it was not needed. The door to the room did not lock and was a huge safety concern. The toilet stopped working and the assistant manager said he’d give me a plunger for me to fix it on my own since maintenance was not available
