“Are you serious???”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Let me start by saying this was the worst place I've ever seen in my entire life. My husband and I came there for a church conference with our infant baby. I was very excited about this trip and we spent lots of time preparing. When we got there, it was almost 11 pm and I was very tired and hungry. I sat in the car while my husband checked in. We got the keys and went around to out room which first of all far away. When we opened the door, I we were overwhelmed by a nasty, funky smell of smoke, marijuana and...crack??? OMG!!! I literally held my breath as we walked down the corrider and coupled my infant's nose. The room was awful!!!! The lighting was dim and it smelled just like the hallway. The furniture had stains and floors were NASTY! There were bugs on the floor in the kitchen and it looked like it hadn't been cleaned in centuries. As soon as I walked in, I could have literally walked back out AND there was no way I was putting my baby down in that room. My husband is usually more understanding than I but even he had a sour look upon his face. They didn't even have baby beds...ALL hotels have baby beds...playpins, or something. This was appalling. A downright shame. I wouldn't stay there for free. We went into the bedroom and bed had stains all over it. I was afraid to sit down, seriously. The phone rang and it was the lady from the front desk checking to see if we found our room. I said "...yes...but it smells really bad...." Her reply? "YOU can come to the front desk to get some spray." WHAT?!?!?! WHAT?!?!?!? Are you SERIOUS??? My husband and I went online and booked the RADISSON through orbitz just a few miles down the street which was EXCELLENT! While my husbad loaded the car, I went to the front desk to check out. I told her that we decided not to stay and then she offers to put us in a different room. "No, that's ok," I said kindly as I eyeballed the can of smoke eliminator on the desk. This place was SUPER GHETTO! I've never seen anything like it. As we were leaving, I let out a deep sigh as I saw a group of crackheads roaming around. This place gave me the creeps. It was like something out of a horror flick.

“Hidden Secret in Research Triangle Park”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 December 2010

Two rooms, 1,100 sq feet, full kitchen with oven and dish washer: All for what you pay at a Motel 6 or EconoLodge. After a month there I negotiated down to $850 month if I did my own cleaning. (* Made my own bed and left trash, dirty linen and towels outside the door which was replaced with clean laundry *). Nice pool. Five minutes to Research Triangle Park.

Best place I've ever stayed and I've been travelling for work continuously for 5 years.

“BED BUGS, NASTY, DO NOT GO THERE”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 November 2010

My Fianceand myself along with four other couples checked in this hotel around eleven oclock to find bed bugs crawling around the sheets and the edge of the bed. The floors were filty dirty. The room smelled awful. We immediately checked out and canceled al of the rooms we had booked for several weekends. They charged my credit card for a night that they told me they were going to refund me for the night of the bed bugs. When I checked my account a week later the charge was put back on my credit card. Do not stay at this awful hotel unless you want to take bed bugs home with you. They will rip your credit card off. be aware

“So horrible I checked out early”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 July 2010

This was the worst place ever. I had booked this on Expedia for 3 nights and only stayed one night and got out early in the morning. It was so terrible that I gave up on the $200 I had paid. Simply to describe it is like you are living inside an ash tray that is being used for over 50 years. My guess is that the people who gave good reviews they live there permanentely and trying to score some points that way or maybe they have never ever stayed any where else.
