So first of all they "sold out" of the room type that I had RESERVED 2 months earlier. That should not be possible if they understand what a reservation is. Then they charge an additional $3.25 "Incidentals Fee" that is not disclosed when making reservations via Expedia. It is not much money, but it is the principle of it that is wrong. Then the "lock" for the room literally had no catch, just a smooth metal plate so the deadbolt couldn't stop anything because the bolt literally has no receiver. The A/C also could only run for 10-40 seconds (not kidding) at a time between 1-2 minute rest periods all night long. I stayed here approximately 4 years earlier and it was quite nice, but has gone down hill tremendously since then.

Property was rather old and needed to be updated. Room smelled like old cigarettes, the tv remote did not work with the TV but TV had buttons on the side so it was ok. The other lock on the door was broken so you only had one instead of two. Staff were super nice and kind. Other than the ceiling in the roof being slightly damaged the room was clean.

The elevator was out. Had to climb 3 flights of stairs to our room. Stairwell doors were propped open which I am pretty certain is against fire code. Also, the stairwell was filthy with stained walls, railings, and stair treads. The room was fine and comfortable.

Convenient location at an affordable price

Front desk folks were friendly and funny. Great people and genuine southern hospitality. The room was fine, bathroom door didn’t shut without a little physical effort, but the price was right. It’s located just over from downtown, and was an affordable option with quick easy Uber options to explore Raleigh.

My room was supposed to be upgraded and have snacks but there were none, but the reception guy was very helpful and seems to have fixed this. I was just worried if we got upgraded bedding too, because that was my priority. The bathroom was not cleaned well though, I could see a lot of hair on the corners of the floor which is pretty gross. Didn’t really investigate much, but the rate wasn’t high so I guess you get what you pay for
