The heater sounds like a transfer truck running, the refrigerator sounded like it was going to take off running any moment. When the heater turns off it goes boom. The top of the fridge was dirty and it was bugs in the carpet not sure what kind and the sink look like it was going to fall off the wall at any moment.

Horrible

Bathroom floor was dirty and the light was so dim that we had to use our cell phones for lighting to shower. Host at front desk was very unconcerned with my complaint and didn’t try to accommodate me in any way simply told me they would let maintenance know!

I have stayed in Cary a number of times and this was the worst place I have ever stayed. Hotels.com should be embarrassed to even have this place as a listing. We arrived late Thursday night and the went out for the day and came back to a roach in the room. I tried to call the front desk and the phone didn’t work. I called from my cell phone and was hung up three times. I went down and was met with indifference. I I didn’t ask for a refund just asked to be able to leave without penalty and nothing. The room was filthy. Stained bathroom floors that had hair everywhere. Dusty and dirty surfaces, stained bedding Hotels.com staff was also not able to resolve anything! We left the next morning a day early.
