This is a run-down, dirty dump. The clientele are the drug dealers, prostitutes and pimps whose business is related to the strip club NEXT DOOR TO THIS CESSPOOL. The parking lot fills up at night with loud, drunk, scary people, laughing, screaming, blowing their vehicle horns and scattering garbage everywhere. The rooms are dirty: peeling wallpaper, badly re-painted bathrooms, dingy... More

Stayed here on a week long paint job out of town. I selected the hotel because of its location/price and wasn't disappointed. Less than a mile to interstate 77 was helpful getting to my jobs on time. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and the free WIFI had a strong signal. The free breakfast was okay but there was an... More

Stayed here on a business trip and want to say it was great experience. The place was clean and smelled pleasant. The location was centrally located and near interstate 77. It also had a strong internet connection which helped with business. The breakfast was very fulfilling and offered a wide variety of choices. I would definitely stay again.

The rooms at sub par at best. The sheets are well used and the room has an odor. Thank God I did not stay here with my daughter... More

The desk staff was helpful and the only saving grace. We made reservations for a non smoking king size room. We were ginven a room that reeked of stale cigarette smoke. It was made worse by the awful stench of a perfumed based substance used to try and cover the tobacco smoke. The bed sheets appeared clean but the blanket... More
