Rooms and common areas are very tired and not very clean. Breakfast lounge is very nice and well run and seemingly clean. Gym is disproportionately nice for the hotel.

Staff was very friendly. Rooms were nice and clean. It appears that some updates have been done and some remain to be done.
Spacious and clean room. Bathroom is a bit small, but all good. Nice lobby.
Breakfast bar is very good showing various classic breakfast items like scrambled egg, bacon, waffle, and bread for toast. Loved the biscuit and gravy.
Room was clean and close to venue. Check in staff was great and maintained their sense of humor during the pre concert rush!

Not worth the price we paid for an upgraded room. Nothing special, tub was hard to get in and out of, curtain was broken and wouldn’t fully shut and walls are thin and could hear everything. Staff was kind and helpful and it was clean.

Everything was fine - while the hotel definitely has seen better days, the location was great due to its proximity to Wake Forest University, our room was clean, and I had no issues whatsoever. We had a great rate, so it was a good experience and I will definitely stay there again.

Room was ok. Staff was very nice, breakfast was ok. The heater would turn on even if powered off, very difficult to maintain a comfortable temp in the room. Close to everything.
We were not able to eat there, due to other plans, but are sure it would have been good. Service and friendliness were our highlights
