Immaculate. Our room was fresh and spotless. The staff very friendly. No street noise. Very convenient to everything NC. Not a very walkable area. Food nearby is mostly "college student" food. Air circulation in the rooms (individual ac units - no central heat/air) could be improved. Overall, would definitely use again and highly recommend.

Bad choice
The worst experience, the hotel is nice, the customer service is good but unfortunately it is not a place to rest, the first day after a very tired day we arrived at the room to take a nap, it was not possible, they were working and everything could be heard behind our head impossible to sleep, I. Called front desk all they said is am sorry for the inconvenience, the next day at 7:00am. I woke up to hearing the hammering and noise of the people who were working in the hotel.
