What Guests Are Saying

“This dog friendly hotel was a nice surprise. The lobby was beautifully decorated and a free breakfast was provided. The breakfast sandwiches were delicious and I loved the latte machine! The rooms are comfortable and mine included a small kitchenette including stove, microwave and small fridge with freezer. We also had a sitting area. It is true that the rooms are slightly dated but overall I would stay here again. It is a convenient stopping point for my visits to North Carolina. This hotel is close to I95 or I can choose to head towards the more scenic Bridge Tunnel that ends up in Virginia Beach.” — Sightseer54450594705, 5 stars

“Awesome and spacious rooms. Very clean with a full kitchen. Staff was very friendly and cheerful. Breakfast was really good; they had a wide variety of many things. I highly recommend this hotel. Definitely I will be back when I am in the area. Can’t say enough good things about the hotel.” — ReneeLynnTravelGuru, 5 stars

“The best thing about this place was the customer Service. The night receptionist (think Jessica) was the friendliest and most helpful we have ever encountered. She worked quickly to get us checked in after our exhausting travels and gave us all the important details. Loved the automated coffee machine and breakfast was decent. The room was spacious and a nice kitchen (we needed the fridge). Our only complaint was the marijuana & cigarettes smell in the hallways near our room. Luckily it didn’t enter our room but perhaps someone should monitor the level of “partying” occurring.” — Paris1221, 4 stars
