It was ok but it could have been better!! Sanford NC
Pros:

The eggs were runny we didn’t like that. The pancakes were flat n spongy. We would have preferred waffles. We’ve had these at other hotels and they were much better. And we don’t like bell peppers or onions in our potatoes.

Cons:

We were very disappointed that it was mid summer and your pool was closed. When we go on vacation we expect to be able to enjoy swimming in the pool and to be able to get into the hot tub but neither one was available we felt robbed!!

Breakfast was the best part of our stay
Pros:

The breakfast was excellent, it was the highlight of our stay.

Cons:

Alot of signs were taped to walls, they need to be in nice frames if you think that's important information that needs to be posted. Elevator buttons were dirty around the edges. The floor mat in the entrance was ratty. The room was not ready for occupancy when we arrived, the main desk person was not very helpful he needs customer service training. I had to talk to the house keeper to direct her to our room to start cleaning. The air-conditioning system cover was taped in place, plus it was very noisy.
