Categories

Cleanliness
3.5
Multiple reviews cite filthy lobby bathrooms, hair and stains on beds, dingy towels and washcloths, and pervasive cigarette/pot smells; a few guests noted clean rooms or very clean bathrooms, but overall cleanliness is poor.
Service
8
Mixed reports: several guests praised helpful staff and a manager who quickly changed rooms, and one review called staff hospitable; however there are also serious complaints about unresponsive or disrespectful staff and housekeeping failures.
Location
9.5
Consistently noted as convenient — close to the Wilmington airport and right off the highway, good for visiting customers; some reviews raise safety concerns on the property but location convenience is a strong positive.
Room Quality
4
Frequent complaints about smoke and bad odors, not enough towels, dingy linens, noisy in-room refrigerator, and malfunctioning appliances (oven turntable); a few guests reported clean rooms and ample hot water.
Amenities
5.2
Limited amenities reported: no breakfast, no in-room coffee makers, lack of gym equipment (dumbbells), only one luggage cart noted; parking is ample but overall amenities are minimal.
Value for Money
7
Mixed sentiment: some guests felt the property provided value given its location and price, while others explicitly said it was not worth the near-$100 rate due to condition and lack of amenities.
Food and Beverage
6
No breakfast offered and several rooms lacked coffee makers; vending machines are implied but limited — guests noted absence of typical complimentary F&B options.
Overall Experience
8
Varied experiences: numerous strongly negative stays (safety issues, cleanliness, smell) but a number of guests reported acceptable or good short stays for business or convenience, so overall experience appears highly dependent on guest expectations and tolerance.

Blah
Cons:

Hallways smelled of cat/dog urine. Fire alarms kept consistently going off. No house keeping got done my entire stay. Had to ask for towels and trash bags. Fridge stopped working because it froze. Had to unplug it for the time that I wasnt in the room (hours) and plug it back it for it to work. Staff arent very helpful or accommodating. They said there was nothing they could do about the fridge. Told me to buy a cooler and use ice. Typically stay here every year for a big bowling event in August. Not sure ill return.

Consider an alternative unless you need a place to lay your head for close to $100
Pros:

Right off the highway. Linen seemed clean. Manager quickly changed our room when we reported it smelled like smoke upon arriving.

Cons:

Clientele is questionable, arguably sketchy. Can tell they’ve tried to maintain the property but it’s pretty far gone. Many entry doors are ajar making it not feel safe.
