The hotel staff (Tory) was very nice and helpful. She appeared to be the only staff there most of the time. The hotel was in the process of renovation. The room appeared to be done, but the lobby was under construction. I wish Hotels.com had mentioned this. It resulted in several amenities being unavailable. However on the upside, the room was very fresh and beautifully clean. One or two things had not been installed correctly and I hope they check the rooms (I did report, i.e. the dead bolt didn’t work). Really, the main flaw was that they did not provide a coffee maker (?!) or coffee supplies. It had a stove top and pan which worked in a pinch. The Walgreens next door had coffee etc. but it would have been much nicer to have a coffe maker. Overall, the service and cleanliness made it a comfortable stay.

More favorable than factual reviews?

There were roaches in the suite we booked and we refused to stay in the room. We were subsequently downgraded to another standard room. It was a horrible experience and I believe that we should be fully refunded. I also am now beginning to believe that hotels secure reviews that are more favorable than factual. Beware.

Stay in Wake Forest.

Our room was newly renovated and very nice and comfortable. The hotel is undergoing renovations which limited the services such as breakfast accommodation. I believe once it’s completed everything will be nice.
