Good place difficult stay

Please include meat with breakfast. We had trouble with the air condition that was preset to 60 and then when I called he said no it has to be on 70 or it won’t work but you didn’t have that only instructions or any instruction for the AC so we were hot that night and the night staff was short and direct And seem like he was bothered that I asked him any questions. Work on your friendliness that is all.

Our room had bed bugs. I am highly allergic to them. We had to leave in the middle of the night to go to the hospital. Not a great experience. They only offered one night refund when we left the first night of our 2 noght stay. I have yet to receive my refund.

My daughter and I stayed here 3 nights for a trip to Carowinds! We frequent Carowinds, but have never stayed here before. We definitely will be back. The staff was very attentive and helpful. The room was clean. It was a bit hot at first and I do not do well in the heat, but it cooled down after a couple hours. Pool was clean. Breakfast was good. Felt very safe which has not been the case in some other hotels near the area. Also, the beds were comfortable. Just a great place to stay.

The rooms were clean but just plain worn out. Redone many times, holes patched and repatched in walls. Everything just seemed old from curtains to bedspreads. Continental breakfast extremely limited and unappealing.
