A group of Spanish guys came on a Tuesday had loud music from 6pm-3am, drinking beers being really loud, and then trashed the areas where people walk by throwing their beer bottles and breaking glass everywhere. Besides that everything was great!

Disliked: Amenities
Nothing special to like. Just a basic motel, but no in room amenities at all. Was labelled as a non-smoking room but smelled strongly of smoke. Bed was uncomfortable and on a metal platform that made a booming sound every time I rolled over. I won't stay there again.

Dirty run down room!
Dirty floors, dirty bathroom, horrible smoke smell in a nonsmoking room! Glass all over the driveway area. Overpriced for a very old and torn down room with mold in it. Dead bolt sis not lock and toilets were so dirty- gross! The people were loud and obnoxious all night and the police cars showed up in the morning! Worst 130$ I ever spent in my life!

The floor had blobs of some kind of gunk all over the room. Paint spills on the floor. The shower was so filthy that I couldn't bring myself to use it.

Scariest night of our lives!!!!
Our first room was gross and there were hairs all over the bed. We asked for another room it was horrible also. These rooms were nasty. We stayed the night because we had been driving 5 hours and I was exhausted. I was there to see specialists at UNC medical center due to a medical problem and I had to rest. At around 11pm people started yelling and cussing, beating on doors and kicking them. I was terrified. We left the next morning and got another motel. The only good thing I can say is that management refunded our 2nd night.
