This was the worst hotel ever . It smelled horrible. The phones in the room didn’t work, the room smell like dog urine The towels were old, hard and small the bed. The toilets overflowed. No breakfast was served horrible !!! Never stay at this hotel!!No maid service after 5. No clean linen provided for the pullout sofa. The pillows were small.the mattress had lint balls. I was give Zep spray to tone down the smell of urine. The front desk clerk showed no empathy!! He stated he couldn’t give me a new room because the hotel was full for that night! All in all it is the worst hotel ever

I booked a handicap accessible room over a month before my scheduled stay. I even called the hotel after I booked on Travelocity and confirmed that I wouod have an accessible room with an accessible tub instead of shower. I was assured my request would be fulfilled. When I checked in, they said they had no accessible rooms available and that I didn't make reservations for one. I showed them my confirmation stating I was confirmed for an accessible room with 2 queen beds. They again said they had none avaliable and asked if they could put me in a regular room for the night. I was in Durham for a 5-night stay and it was midnight by this time, so I said okay, but had to have an accessible room the next day. The tegular room they gave me was apparently the last room available and was the dregs of all the room. I could barely get to the bed because the dresser was so close, part of the blackout curtain was ripped down and would barely close enough to prevent a view into the room from the parking lot, and another part of the curtain had a long vertical rip that I had to hold closed with a couple of my hair clips. The worst part was I physically could not get to the bathtub, as my electric chair could not fit between the toilet and around the door. I am a full leg amputee and have to use my electric chair to navigate right up to things. I was in town to got to a funeral for my best friend and couldn't even bathe before going to it. I'm still so upset.

The room and lobby were very clean, inside the hotel was clean, however when you pull up the outside of the hotel needs updating and paint, they need to bring back breakfast, not enough washcloths and towels in room, only one person for a 2 night stay, for it to be a non smoking hotel, we could smell marijuana coming from room next door to ours and downstairs room when we were leaving out. No Microwave in room and tiny dorm size fridge was on the floor instead on a stand, The staff was nice, like I said before they need to upgrade the premises and get the tiny fridge off the floor

Dump should be condemned

Admittedly this is a budget hotel but there’s no excuse for a property in this condition to be operating. In addition to trash all over the hallways, elevator, stairwells, the place smelled of cigarette smoke and other long lasting unpleasant orders. I had to get another room because my initial room toilet was leaking on the floor and constantly running. Phone system seems to be disconnected so I had to go back to the desk to complain and get another room. The new room key didn’t work so I had to go down to desk again. New room didn’t have toilet issues but I woke up to find bugs crawling all over the bathroom floor. I packed up and left as quickly as I could.
