    Location It took forever to get checked in. You can’t just walk in and get the same rate that you can get online, which is very inconvenient. I almost left to go to another hotel. The room door was very difficult to get open or shut. The bathtub was disgusting .. I didn’t feel like I could take a bath in there so I took a shower. There was no hot water the next morning. It was lukewarm. Not very satisfied. Will probably not stay there again

    Well, when I checked, then I told him that water was coming up from the floor. They came and mopped it up but later on that day, they still water came from the floor again and it won’t no need for me to go say anything, but they told me they didn’t have no rooms available to move anything and I didn’t wanna wait 5 to 10 business days to get my money back but when I woke up that next morning, the whole floor was full of water

    This facility is close to everything you need. Stores, gas stations, university, restaurants etc. The price is good. As soon as we parked to check in we were greeted by three women in the parking lot and a man. They were all in the woods. First we thought they were walking through but the police presence at this hotel every 4 hrs was crazy. So if you like living on the edge this is your place. Also the tv works 4 hrs out of 24. Staff is great including the manager. I thought about finding another place but it was late and we had a long drive. Interesting though when I booked it the pics of the hotel were better. So if you remove the suspicious activities the place is ok for the price.

    While the hotel was clean and the staff were nice, it seemed to be a residence for some people almost shelter like. It was fine for me because I was in and out, and had family staying next door at the Hilton, so I spent most of my time over there. I probably would not stay there again.

    We stayed there for $450 for 2 nights during UNC graduation. First, there was roaches in the bathroom. My family that stayed in the adjacent room had roaches too, so this clearly was not a one off. Secondly, when I ran the water for the bath it was brown for at least 30 seconds. Which probably explains why the tub was so dirty. Other annoyance was the floors were uneven. The laid cheap lament and did not think to level it before. This is definitely not a place I would ever stay again.

    I stayed for two nights but decided to leave before the third because I was uncomfortable with the atmosphere. I asked for a refund for the last night, but the front desk said they couldn’t process it since I booked through Expedia. They also refused to provide any checkout receipt or documentation. As I was leaving, another guest was complaining about fleas in her room. Overall, it was a pretty unpleasant experience.

    The rooms while listed as non-smoking, were not actually. There was a constant, headache-inducing smell of either nicotine or marijuana. I had to go to CVS and buy deodorizing spray and apply that multiple times. The continental breakfast was OK, but I did not feel secure inside my room. The only perk was being able to see my car where it was parked outside to make sure no suspicious characters got close. Our bathroom door was so damaged on the bottom that you could not close it. The shower constantly dripped, and it was stained from previous attempts at cleaning it, we opted not to take a shower over our two night stay. The toilet seat was so loose, it would shift when sitting on it. As two women, obviously we did not have the option not to sit, this was extremely upsetting.

Staff we encountered were considerate and professional. Breakfast was so-so but plentiful. There was waffle maker ( we don't eat them), but batter looked fresh. Sm yogurts ( I think Intivia), indiv-wrapped sm apples, sausage patties you heat in what seemed a Very good heat oven ( there were english muffins & thick white bread). 2% milk, but the OJ i think was something like Tang.

    The pool was closed. The room was clean but the type of flooring in the room is some kind weird material and is in large squares, so in between the squares it's quite dirty. The shower water never got hot. I should have asked for a handicapped equip room because nothing was easily accessed. The "breakfast" was pitiful. Only a few things to choose from. Powdered coffee creamer. I would suggest calling it a limited continental breakfast. Very disappointing. But the room was cheap so I guess I got what I paid for.

    There were multiple fights that took place outside of my room, which made the whole place seem very unsafe. Homeless individuals camp out in the grass across from the hotel. The front desk staff did not communicate, I paid for a late checkout and was still disturbed multiple times the day of checkout to leave at the original time. The lady who worked the front desk was nice enough, but the man was rude and combative.

    The SureStay Plus was a bit rough around the edges. Pulling in, you're greeted with what looks like homeless people that appear to be living in the ground floor rooms. Check in & front desk staff were fine. The room itself was basic, but functional. WiFi worked ok. Lots of noise at night (door slamming?) but a call to the front desk helped resolve it. Breakfast was lacking. They have a waffle maker, but no toppings besides syrup. No eggs. Small selection of tired-looking bulk cereal. Small, plastic-wrapped apples.

    Upon arrival, it was 20deg outside. Inside the AC/Heater was turned on to 74, but it was on the A/C, not the Heater. Took some time to warm up the room. We were also there 2 nights and didn't want room entry for cleaning, so we put the Do Not Disturb on the door. We left a fair amount of personal items out as we expected this. But, the staff came in and cleaned the room. Nothing missing of course, but felt uncomfortable by this.

    The shower tub combination needs to be resurfaced and new faucets. The paint is peeling in the tub and rusty at the faucet. The bathroom door sticks needs repair. Also the hot water runs out very fast. Also, I have killed a couple of roaches on the walls so bring bug spray. The area is well lit at night and somewhat quiet. It is a lot of night parking lot traffic that goes on. There is a soft spot on the floor that makes me nervous so I do not walk on that side of the bed. I think the overcharge for the hotel considering the look of it, but I know it's a business. It is not the best and some of the people that is here seems odd, but at least you are not out in the streets. They do serve breakfast, I hadn't been but it is advertised. I think the prices could be lowered a little bit more for what you get or offer discounts to people that stay a few more nights.

    The evening desk attendant tried to leave us outside in the cold and help check in another guest instead of taking us to another (and the last) available room because the one we were in had bugs, living and dead. This new room was only better bc it didn’t have AS MANY bugs. Wouldn’t even consider trying breakfast. Finally, the room we were moved to was at the far end of the hall, one elevator on property, and the outside door was accessible WITHOUT using your keycard.

    The conditions of the room are absolutely terrible. I literally found a roach in my bed as soon as I walked in on the first night there were three roaches on the second night. There was roaches in my bathroom. I complained to the staff and I feel bad for the tenant because I know it’s not on him, but the room is disgusting. It is horrible to think that because you are trying to financially be savvy you have to pay with dirty and disgusting conditions. I am beyond disappointed and I will never stay there ever again no matter how decent the prices.

    There was only one ice machine located on the first floor next to the washer and dryer, and the floor in that area was constantly wet and dirty because the machine randomly dropped ice. I was staying on the third floor, so this was inconvenient. The hotel clearly had water damage, which was obvious from the condition of the floors and a strong musty smell. Breakfast ended early at 9:30 a.m., and the pool was closed the entire time—even though temperatures were around 96°F all week. One night, the police were even called to the hotel, which was unsettling. The Hilton just across the parking lot looked like a much better option and felt safer overall. Staff at this hotel were unfriendly and often didn’t answer the phone. The beds were unusually high; my elderly grandmother had a very hard time getting in and out of bed. While it was okay for a single night in a pinch, I would not recommend staying here and definitely won’t be coming back.

So that following evening I called down to the front desk and asked if I could please get some towels and I was told that it was marked on his paperwork that we had already received towels for that day and we were not eligible to get any clean towels. I had to go down the street and purchase some towels to take my shower that evening. I also needed quarters to complete my laundry cycle. I had enough quarters to start the wash but did not have enough for the dryer and I was told that he could not give me the quarters that he had in the register because he needed them for other customers. That I would have to walk to a store or figure something else out to complete my laundry. The first morning I had spilled just a little bit of coffee on the floor next to my bed, so I used one of the towels that I have bought the night before to clean up my mess and when I looked at the towel after I was done it was near black! Absolutely disgustingly dirty. There's no way that these floors were cleaned before I entered this room.

    After traveling for a long day I was looking forward to a hot shower and going to bed. Only to find there was no hot water. The water was warm at best but not really even warm. The bed was comfortable however there was no comforter, it was more like a thick bedsheet. The morning breakfast was terrible… a waffle maker, some sausage patties and yogurt. Pretty much a dissatisfying place. On the positive the staff was nice, location convenient and that’s about it. Would not stay here again.

    I also asked for a do not disturb sign yesterday and the front desk said, "they don't do that here, they do things differently" and they assured me no one would be in my room. The room next to me had a sign, however. I came back to my room Saturday and someone had been in it (I specifically requested that no one come while I'm there) The 3rd floor has smelled like marijuana since Friday. The elevator stopped working last night. I asked for assistance getting my luggage down the stairs when checking out since the elevator didn’t work and I was on the 3rd floor but the front desk apologized and said they couldn’t help.

    I stayed for two nights from out of state. I got to my room and it immediately smelled like someone just smoked a cigarette/green in the room. The gentlemen that worked that night/morning was soooo great. He went above and beyond. The second night i get back and the elevator was out but that was here nor there. I get up to my room on the 3rd floor and again the extreme smell of smoke. The next morning I pack up my stuff, head to the door of my room, and there was a roach alive on the floor. Then had to drag all my luggage down three flights of stairs. The stairs were unfortunately located in the back of the building and my vehicle in the front. The lady at the front informed me I could NOT go through the lobby to my vehicle that I had to walk around the entire building. It was an extreme inconvenience and a bit of a struggle to have to drag three large bags around 75-100yds. I could go in the lobby to get breakfast the second morning but so I guess it is a security thing. I don’t know.

I would never go back again, the towels had hair in them , I did not use them and I used barriers to use the toilet because it just look so unsanitary.

    I got texts from the hotel saying to text if anything was needed, but no one ever returned my texts, nor did they ever answer the phone. I prepaid through hotels.com, and usually do not have to wait for a room more than 5 minutes. For whatever reason, the night clerk had problems with the computer, and I had to wait in a freezing hallway for 20 minutes. I had a wheelchair user with me, and the only way I could get onto our floor was by opening a heavy door that had no handicap switch, and no way to hold it open. I struggled greatly to get him inside, and there was no way a person alone in a chair could have handled it.

    The parking lot was full of people hanging out with loud music when we arrived after 9 PM. The person at the front desk barely spoke to us- at one point wasn’t even sure if they had my reservation. When we were directed to our room the floor didn’t feel solid in the hallway, it was lumpy and coming up. The room smelled bad, you could hear and smell everything from outside, ther doors into the building were all propped open and none of them actually locked. Then I’m the room the shade didn’t close all the way so the parking lot lights glared in the entire night and there was a huge gap Under the door so we heard everything in the hallway all night. People were in and out all hood of the night.

The ac/heater made so much scary noise that kids were getting scared in sleep. Felt like somebody was walking near the head as the walls were so not sound proof that they walked on the middle of the night and we were able to hear every bit if it. Upon complaint I was told to vacate the room at 3:00 am midnight with 2 kids for a refund. No customer service at all. Pathetic hotel. Not sure how it under Best Western banner with zero standards.
