I arrived at the hotel and was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and affordability of the King room. The room was spotless with no lingering odors, but the mirrors needed some attention in terms of cleanliness. The price was a major plus for this room.

The location was convenient for my visits to UK sports complexes and local hospitals. Although it was close to Krispy Kreme for a sweet treat, the proximity to the air unit was a slight downside.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were clean, but I encountered a musty smell along with some unexpected items left behind from previous guests. The service was friendly and attentive, although there were some instances of rudeness. The location was convenient, with easy access to restaurants and downtown, but the presence of certain establishments nearby may not suit everyone. The dining experience left much to be desired due to the presence of unwanted individuals, but this seems to be a common issue at this price point.

I was really disappointed with this hotel. The rooms were supposed to be non-smoking, but they reeked of stale cigarettes, and the attempt to mask it with strong citrus air freshener only made it worse. The service was appalling, with staff making inappropriate and uncomfortable advances. The location was also a letdown as it was not as convenient as expected. However, the dining experience was decent, albeit with some unsavory characters around.
