My husband and I recently traveled to Morganton for a last-minute event and wanted an inexpensive place to stay for one night. In general, we were pleased with the Sleep Inn. The location was good; the room was clean; the bed was very comfortable; the staff was friendly. The free "continental" breakfast was only okay, but that was to be expected.

There were two things I didn't like: first, there was a shower but no bathtub in our room, and I am a real bath person; second, the carpet in the room had that slightly "slick" feeling of carpet that's been walked on too many times and won't ever be the same again despite repeated cleanings.

Even with taxes, we spent only a few pennies over $50, so it was a good cheap deal. If I were ever to be in Morganton again for just one night, I'd probably return to the Sleep Inn. If I were there for a longer stay, I'd probably spring for the Hampton Inn or something even nicer.
