This property was a letdown. The elevators weren't working regularly. The halls were dirty, paint peeling everywhere. The breakfast bar was reminiscent of summer camp. The pool was drained. No indication of this at check in or during the reservation (the kids were upset). Every trash bin in the hotel was full the whole weekend. This property boasts being a great location for visiting fans and family of the university, they should be embarrassed.

NOT WORTH THE MONEY

Checked into the hotel for a little getaway and purposely got a room that had a hot tub. Paid extra money for the room with the hot tub only for it to be filthy. Could not call to the front desk because the phone was disconnected. Had to call from my cell phone. When I told the clerk, all they did was say they’ll mention it to housekeeping. Did not offer to move rooms or any other resolution. I spent 20 minutes cleaning the tub myself.

Option for Visiting Wake Forest

It was clean and the beds were comfortable. The breakfast was good, everyone we encountered was polite, helpful, and friendly. There was coffee available for free that was pretty good and there were snacks as well as water available to buy. I would stay there again.
