Cleanliness
4.5
Multiple reviews mention dirty common areas and bathrooms (dirty hallway carpet, brown residue in toilets), occasional roaches and generally not well maintained.
Service
7.8
Mixed reports: several guests described staff as unfriendly or disrespectful at check-in, but others noted helpful/pleasant staff and an active security guard; overall service is inconsistent but there are positive interactions.
Location
8
Convenient location (near highway, close to town and Walnut Creek Amphitheater) and well-lit parking; however several guests felt the surrounding area was unsafe with loitering and drug activity.
Room Quality
6.8
Rooms had strengths (comfortable bed, working A/C) but also issues (doors/locks not secure for some rooms, TV volume problems, toilets not flushing properly, occasional odors and missing toiletries).
Amenities
5
Essential in-room amenities (A/C) present, but advertised amenities were missing (no fitness center), and breakfast offering was minimal; overall limited amenities for the price.
Value for Money
7
Guests noted this is a budget property and some felt the price matched expectations for a roof-over-head option; others felt misled by missing advertised amenities.
Food and Beverage
3.5
Consistently poor continental breakfast reported (very limited items, no toaster, low quality) and restrictions on taking items to rooms.
Overall Experience
7.8
Overall mixed but lean acceptable for budget emergency stays: some guests appreciated location, locked entry and a comfortable bed, while many cited cleanliness, safety and service problems that made the stay unpleasant.

It was fine
Pros:

The location was to my desire

Cons:

The footage camera couldn't capture everything thing. Someone picked up my delivery.

I had two deliveries. The camera only captured when the first delivery was brought but didn't capture when the second delivery was brought.

The first delivery was taken away by someone before the second delivery was brought.

The camera went forward to capture when I picked the second delivery but the first delivery was not among the things I packed.

As I went to receptionist after playing the video and we were deliberating on it, luckily the person that picked the first delivery mistakenly was passing by and over heard the receptionist and I talking about it and he opened up and asked me to follow him to his car and he gave me the missing delivery.

I was happy but the management needs to set the camera in a way that it captures everything thing that goes on all day long within the front desk and other places cameras are placed.

Very poor facility needs to be shut down
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Everything the staff was not nice and you've got a supposable security guard standing outside taking up handicap spots and smoking pot with the Riff Raff around there and the people that you check in with have an attitude all the time and don't want to accommodate you when you specifically ask for something you don't get it

I would never recommend this property for anyone visiting North Carolina for the first time.
Pros:

Nothing. Horrible experience upon trying to check-in with reception. Bad attitude, not helpful.

Cons:

I didn’t feel safe in the property. The person in reception told me we couldn’t get a first level room because only homeless stayed in that level. Not to complain if I found something wrong with the room I was given. I decided to not stay and walked away having to rebook a new hotel.

DON'T DO IT!!
Pros:

I didn't like a single thing about this place. It was terrible

Cons:

🚩🚩🚩 Drug dealers and prostitution in the parking lot. The room was dirty. The sheets didn't look changed. The walls and curtains have never been cleaned. The hallway to the rooms is absolutely disgusting. There was a transient sleeping in the parking lot. An ambulance picked up someone that overdosed. Unless you are a heroin/fentanyl addict or are looking for a lady of the night, this is not the place.
