“Disgusting -- the only hope for this place is to raze it, to the ground”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We were traveling south on the evening of 4/16, when there were terrible storms that caused massive traffic backups all along the east coast. There was absolutely no availability at any hotel in NC or SC. I knew it was a bad sign that this place was the ONLY place with a room for the next 100+ miles, but we had been searching for a hotel room since 11 p.m. and it was already 3 a.m. We just couldn't go any further with 2 little kids traveling with us.

And I knew it was a bad sign when we checked in that the manager said, "The carpet is stained but the room is O.K." Ugh. WRONG. The room was absolutely filthy, there were no clean towels, the tub looked terrifying. I didn't allow my kids to sleep under the covers -- I just had them wrap up in the blankets we brought from home. My husband and I also slept in our clothes on top of the covers.

The only positive is that we had a great incentive to get out of bed and back on the road bright and early. Absolutely the most disgusting hotel I've ever been in. One of the other guys checking in around the same time as us left after seeing the room -- he had teenagers so they were more able to power through -- and the manager tried to charge him $10 just for looking at the room.

Room Tip: Stay at any other hotel on earth.

“Don't stay here!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 April 2011

person found this review helpful

This place was filthy. The room that my son and his wife stayed ion had actual clumps of dirt on the carpet. They left because they where afraid to let their one year old down on the carpet. We stayed because we where very tired, but ended up not sleeping very well. We we reached our destination we washed all of our clothes worn at the hotel.

“We've all said it... "it's just to sleep for a few hours." WELL, DON'T SLEEP HERE!”

Well, the guy at the front desk was nice. He handed us the remote control as we checked in and we went to our room. We walked in the room and noticed how disgusting it was right away. I ended up wiping down the walls with a couple of their towels and the towels were almost black afterwards. I felt like Norman Bates was watching me at all times. When I took a shower, I felt dirtier than before I got in the shower... you know the type of tub I'm talking about... you try your best not to touch the liner, the wall or even the tub with your feet, let alone your body. Ugh. Stay across the street for only $10 more! SERIOUSLY.

We got this hotel Via Priceline. We drove up, and my finace said this place looks like the Bates Motel. I was horrifed when we went into the office and saw the manager. He was like, we don't make no money off you folks who do priceline damit. I don't have your reservation, so I'm just gonna have to charge your credit card! I was like NO WAY! Managers mother was sleeping IN THE LOBBY and when I asked where the heat was ..."we can't affford no heat, we are fixin' to go bankrupt". He relented gave us our room key and couldn't get into room. Returned and got another room/key. No electricity, turned on light over sink and the light POPPED so loud...sounded like a gun going off. Used flashlight to check out room. DISGUSTING! Blood on wall........I screamed and ran OUT! Prostitutes on Property!!!! Should have been a indication. Writing to the BB and Health Department. Never want anyone to have to be in situattion we were. We took key back and told manager...he was like
"I figured you there folks were too stuck up to stay here"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL................We would have taken pictures, but it was dark and we wanted to get the HELL out of there. ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW!!!!!!!!!!

“DO NOT STAY HERE - DIRTY DIRTY DIRTY! GO ACROSS STREET TO THE DAYS INN”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 October 2009
1
person found this review helpful

This was the dirtiest place I have ever seen. DIRTY SHEETS, DIRTY TOWELS, DIRTY CARPET. The room smelled horrible. Stuff still in the refrigerator from precious guest. Something smeared all over the TV. We stopped here because of the Billboard advertisement of I95 stating they were Pet Friendly and we were traveling with our dog. Also their sign at motel saying " Newly Renovated, Clean and Quiet Rooms". Do not believe the signs! The room was so NASTY that we would not even allow our dog to walk into the room. Went back to front desk and asked for a refund. (They even have a hand written sign - no refunds after 15 mins....that should be a warning) It had only been 8 minutes but they still refused to refund our money. Emoployee offered to give us another room but said they were all like that and laughed. Then he said people just need somewhere to sleep when traveling and the room really doesn't matter! We valued our health, so we left anyway and went across the street to the DAYS INN (we discovered they too are pet friendly). The Days Inn rooms were CHEAPER, clean, smelled great and was a much nicer place to stay. DO NOT STAY at AMERICAS BEST INN - go directly across the street and stay at the DAYS INN!
