Staff was very attentive and friendly and the property was pretty nice. My room didn’t have a window which I’ve never encountered before in a hotel, so I’m not sure if that’s normal or not. But I only stayed 2 nights so it wasn’t really an issue. Other than that I enjoyed my stay.

I would give an honest review. It was a nice hotel but not as big as expected. It was clean and they have comfortable pillow and no bed bugs.. parking is expensive for 20$/night. another charge for the room with a window and facility fee was off too me. im not happy about it and I didnt sleep well because It was noisy outside since it was saturday night and another room were fighting outside our room and I got turned off with the price of 200 and no breakfast. i would give a 3/5 overall.

Here for a college tour at NCCU. The teen I’m with has rarely ever been to a city of this size and loves the vibe including the dance party w DJ in the lobby last night, multiple restaurants and fun things in the area. Front desk staff have been very helpful, friendly and professional.
