This property has had a bad reputation in the past, but it has now been renovated. The king bed was very comfortable. The room and bathroom were clean but sloppy caulking in the bathroom makes the floor around the toilet look dirty but it is not dirty. The shower was fine with a good shower head and hot water. It was a very hot, humid day and night, but the air conditioning kept us cool. The person checking us in was friendly and helpful. There is nothing fancy about this place but it met our needs adequately.

Was close to Chowan University and we could walk to places to eat. Room was clean. I know the hotel is a bit older but it appears some updates have been made. Has a refrigerator and microwave in the rooms.

Extremely outdated and run down. The phone was disgustingly filthy! The floors looks clean - walk around in your socks and discover how gross they were. The towels were the thinnest I have EVER had and they left a residue on my skin. Same with the bedding - very thin and not soft - outdated.

Please don’t stay here !!

The hotel was in a unsafe area. The room smelled like cigarettes. The room stated that it could fit two people but this room was the size of a matchbox. We had to ask for towels and wash clothes, and tissue. The room has an windup air conditioning unit and in the day time the sun pierce through a small holes in the window. Our room door wouldn’t lock so anyone could just walk in our room at anytime, and I found out that a young lady overdosed at the hotel. This place is terrible!!

Filthy Room…Do Not Stay Here!

I reserved this room for my siblings and their room was in the same condition as my double double room. Filthy!! Bedding was dirty. Housekeeping didn’t want to provide fresh clean bedding until they “saw proof” of dirty bed linen. Dust and dirt on walls and caked on baseboard. Shower floor was dirty with mildew all over shower curtain. Afraid to let it shower curtain touch them.

I like that the property was located closely to the university. It was an extremely convenient location. I did not like the staff experience that i encountered upon arrival. He was not welcoming. He presented a room that was not cleaned. The linen was not clean and had cigarette burns on it. The bathroom was filthy and he declined to clean initially. My family and i went to the Dollar Tree on Main Street to purchase our own cleaning products. Once night came, the facilty has a large watchdog that is extremely big and intimdating. He barks extremely loud. It interrupts the peace. We checked out early as a result of our terrible experience.

Filthy! Call Health Department ASAP!

The room looked as if it had not been cleaned in a very long time. There was a lot of dirt and dust build up all along baseboards. I had to clean sink, toilet and shower the best I could using disinfectant cleaning wipes and they ended up a yellow brown color when I finished. Bedding had hair and stains on it. Shower fixtures were not secured to shower wall. Shower curtain was full of mildew and we were afraid to touch it. We were afraid to lay directly in sheets and blankets. Washcloths were dingy with dark stains (thankfully we traveled with our own).

Gross !!! Keep going !

Terrible stay and overpriced! The shower still had used soap and empty shampoo bottles indicating it wasn’t cleaned ! We decided not to shower ! And the body hair was everywhere! Gross ! Ice machine didn’t work! Smelly and dirty outside . Noisy guests ! Old blankets with lots of burn holes ! I sprayed Lysol everywhere and wiped down everything with Lysol wipes .. we were exhausted and just dealt with it . Not worth the money we paid ! And the ridiculous charge for the pet fee! I don’t mind paying a pet fee , but not being ripped off . This place is gross and the health department needs to shut it down !

Beware…. Low standards

We booked a king room. Arrived at motel, electrical issues, do they ‘upgraded’ us to a. Double queen room?? And it was horrible. Smelled bad, beds looked as if they were not changed. Had dirt and hair on them. Floors were disgustingly dirty had to wear shoes the whole time. We were given 1 towel set for 2 people. They were badly stained and tattered. Room was only checked once by a guy that knocked, we were still resting due to late night, and the guy opened to door on us! No fresh towels, we had to take our own trash out! As the only place to stay in town, we had to deal with it. Returned the next night to room, it smelled so bad of weed! We had to buy an air freshener! We come to town for a festival each year, and sadly, we will make reservations at the next town 30 mins away next year! This place is very ran down since last year when we stayed. Needs new sheets, towels, cleaning people that care! They need to do better! We do not recommend!
