All and all if you are looking for an area near the Cary area and you do not want to pay Hilton prices and for those people who are looking for a better bang for your buck I would not steer you from this area or this hotel or extended stay should I say but please do not expect for housekeeping to knock on your door on the daily asking if you need room service do not expect a hot breakfast or a continental breakfast do expect to pay with your credit card or debit card cash app Venmo, PayPal or tap to pay is not allowed there is a fee for your animals or your fur babies whichever you would like to call them if you dirty up the towels where they cannot be used again expect to pay a fee for that and for your sheets or blankets accidents happen so you better figure out how to clean it before you leave. Do not expect the room to be fully stopped with the things that you use at home. There is a Walmart down the street along with a Harris Teeter in Lowe’s and target figure it out from there. Do you expect a $45 late fee if you plan to stay longer so my solution to that is book through the third-party only because you will receive better deals and better discounted rates do not expect the rooms to be cleaned clean them yourself for your comfort. Also have a cell phone the room phones do not work so if there is an emergency, I don’t know what you’re gonna do. Check the beds because my son and I had to change rooms due to the mattress literally sinking in literally

The room has a flatscreen TV that since mountain on the wall, it has a spacious work desk, big enough for a laptop, maybe 3 to 4 monitors and a CPU unit if you want one it comes with a two I flat stove burner. It comes with a microwave, a dishwasher and a full refrigerator. It comes with one sitting or reading chair and air conditioning unit that is ran Old school not a central AC unit that is ran on the wall. It has the system for the AC unit to work on the wall, but it does not you have to physically go press the buttons on the AC unit for it to work. There is a nice full mirror inside of the closet where you can store your clothes and ironing board and an iron. If you so choose to use it they say that they come fully stop with the utensils that you need as if you were at your home away from home, but that is not true. In my particular unit I had 2 cups three forks two spoons three of the black plastic spoons that you get from the dollar store one butter knife, a toaster, one frying pan not deep frying pan but flat frying pan and one pot. They have a coffee machine maker small enough to make one cup in the bathroom. There is a full-size tub toilet a nice vanity mirror and the counter space in the bathroom is plenty enough for one person not too so fellas if you come with your lady don’t expect any counter space you’re better off using the work desk for your things. The kitchen area is kind of separated only by the carpet lining so we’re your queen size bed is

I do understand that business is business and it is strictly financial. A part of my business is also traveling to different hotels and providing people with the truth about different hotels in the North Carolina area and what to honestly expect from the hotels past the pictures I am also providing advice to single mothers, single fathers and families who are in transition And showing them the best areas to stay and how to get a bang for your book since times are hard for everyone due to the change in the economy. I tell my daughter always be careful of the people that you entertain or meet because you never know who they work for or what they’re working for the hotel or extended stay is equipped with the following amenities. Please read the next comment for the amenities and the truth about the way they actually look I can say with the amount of money that they’re making with a hotel being priced at $84.99 a night with tax they should be able to find a vendor that could provide people with muffins, bananas, apples, crescent, rolls, something simple just to give back to the people that put into them. Your business is always the people first at the rate that this location is going I don’t foresee it lasting long if changes are not made. i’m not quite sure who the regional manager is of this site but I’m very good at finding out the information that I need when you are staying at these type of establishments make sure you read the fine print cross your T’s and dot your eyes

I would have to say the staff the older gentleman with the gray hair I’m not for sure with his name is, but he was very helpful. Also, the young lady with the dreads or locks was very helpful soft spoken, and very sweet. My issue came in with the young lady that was or is the manager, I guess She seemed to be lacking communication with her staff, the young lady with the red hair seemed to be sweet, but did the bare minimum I would ask for the large trash bags and she will always give me the small ones not big enough to clean anything. I asked her for a broom one night to be able to clean my room or sweeten my room she gave me a broken broom and broken dustpan. She didn’t seem to wanna do anything except for sitting in the chair, which is fine whenever I asked for clean linen, she would always be missing something like the mattress covering or the quilt that came with the blanket because the rooms got very cold. I never exchanged my towels cause I always washed them at their laundry site. So I would rewash my own towels that they provided and occasionally I will go to my trunk and get my own towels that I bought laundry facility a bit pricey 225 will really 250 to wash and dry the Spanish lady that worked at night very sweet never had an issue out of her. The manager not really fond of. She has curly hair. No real communication with her staff. She would tell me oh I’m not gonna charge you to $45 late fee and then till the girl with the red hair oh, she’s charging me either way

The room was extremely dirty , and told the front desk unfortunately since it was the weekend they had limited availability. I paid in advance so to get the refund and find another spot would have been even more of an inconvenience due to how long refunds take . There were toe nail clippings by sofa , I chased a roach from out from under the bed , and there was balls of dust and left over legos from previous guest from who knows how long ago . I showed the front desk and they said the exterminator just came - I was advised that someone would come by and clean the room and bring more towels but that never happened and I sent my son to the front desk at a late hour he rang bell and no one came so we just made due with what we had . Very disappointed at our stay -and we’ve stayed here before

The room was very very dirty and even when I mentioned to the front staff of toe nail clippings and cockroach that I killed because it scurried out from the bed - I was told that they just had an exterminator come … The bed was not clean underneath and the walls were dirty as well . I used my key points for the first night and extended stay and the second night is when I noticed everything .
Roach I chased from out from the bed - it’s dead in this photo and left for them to clean room - came back and it was never removed .

The staff was extremely pleasant and friendly.. but the rooms however needed some tlc. They need someone to go in and do a good deep clean in the hotel. The hotel room had an odor that wasn’t pleasant and the rust on the shower head. And the toilet didn’t seem like it wanted to flush.. and they need to change the breakfast option on their website because they do not serve it anymore
