I couldn’t sleep because the smoking smell in the room. The air conditioner kept blowing out air with smell. The floor is not clean and not flat. The door is broken on the side so the cold air blows in. Even though I was asking a non smoking room, the horrible room is what they gave me.
The picture showed on internet was fake.

My room was not clean! The floors were dirty, the AC was leaking water all over, and the bedspread was covered in cigarette holes. Housekeeping did not come to clean my room once in the three days I stayed here.

The gentleman who checked me in was very nice very efficient and very friendly. The motel is older but with a lot of TLC it would be great.
Less than 8 minutes from Duke University.

The rooms were extremely dirty. The floors were both slippery and sticky. The furniture in the rooms were stained and in poor condition. There were cigarette burns in the comforters. The bathrooms were also filthy and toilets looked like they had not been cleaned after the last guests.

Good stay for a night for the money. A place to sleep.

The clerk was the only redeeming thing about this property. We arrived late, and had to talk through a window to someone (Libby was closed at 10pm). She was very nice. Went to our room, couldn’t get in. The clerk had to come open the door for us. We went inside and it was infested with bugs. They were everywhere. Roaches, ants, and other unidentifiable creatures. We made the decision not to stay and left to find another hotel. The clerk refunded our money with no questions asked.

It was a horrible stay. If i didnt already pay for it i wouldve left. Didnt feel say at all staying there. It was dirty and smelly. It's amazing for what we pay for a "good" nights rest and what a mess we get.
2.0 / 5.0
The bed, pillows were great. The shower was nice, good water pressure, clean curtain. It was warm. It was quite after 11 pm. Convenient. Yet, The place was really unclean. The Rugs hadn’t been vacuumed, microwave dirty, refrigerator dirty, the sink dirty, mirror dirty, coffee maker broke, bathtub just old I guess, had stains. Commode was nice. Cigarette burns on bed cover. Saw one roach. I think that they forgot to clean it. My stay before this one was more pleasant.

Motel is old! Room had a smell, bathroom door hard to close, bedspread had holes in it, a/c needs major cleaning. Bed was not made overnight. Could not get clock to set. Bed was lumpy.
Won’t be back here again.

it was okay but the area seemed a bit unsafe
1.5 / 5.0
We had stayed in this hotel only a few months ago and was shocked that it had deteriorated so much. There were cobwebs in corners and under the window. The floor was sticky and the room smelled bad. There were also roaches. However, the staff was friendly.
3.0 / 5.0
The unit was super clean all over, the ac, though old, worked, and the large screen tv was fine. Beds were a bit soft for my wife, mine near the door was fine. The room and bathroom, though clean, was in need of upgrading, as it seemed, patch work was all that was done. New Toilet was great. The security door lock bar was broken off, did not give us a sense of security.
4.0 / 5.0
The only downfall was that they didn’t have water, pop and snack machines. I flew in and was without a car. The closet store I could find was a Walgreens to get water and diet drinks, snacks. The Uber ride was expensive at that time. Note: there is a little store, I think Korean that has some things. If you can have sugar, I can’t.
Everything else was great. Clean, microwave, frig, nice flat screen tv, great fan bathroom, nice shower, nice floors, clean sheets, and the manager and staff were friendly, helpful, awesome. Ice machine, coffee and coffee maker in room. They let me check out an hour late due to a doctors appointment and check in an hour early. I felt safe there, no parties or loud noise. I would highly recommend, especially for 1-3 day stay.

Cockroaches, broken locks. Booked for a group I work with- they often stay in Super 8’a when they travel for work. This time, I had to get them a different hotel shortly after their arrival bc they felt unsafe said the cockroaches were “having a party” in the room.

We were here for 2 and a half hours. The area is not the best which is what to expect from the price I suppose. We felt unsafe immediately. The door didn’t close easily and the smell was absolutely atrocious. There were holes in the comforter and the bathroom was ancient. We decided we felt so unsafe that we left soon after. I would not recommend this property to anyone.

When check-in, the room has not been clean, strange powder on bathtub, dirty grease on sink counter, floor seems not touched for a long time, door rusted out, smelled so bad, heard the gunshot at night, homeless and intoxicated, visit the property, no cleaning staff show up at all during the three day stay. The front desk, if it can be called that way, staff did not help at all, loffy....

It was the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. There was mold in the bathroom, the door knob on the bathroom was about to fall off, the floor was sticky, it smelled like smoke, take window had a huge crack in it, the ceiling was falling down. It was just dirty.

When I arrived the room was dirty. There was dirt, grime and blood on the doors and walls. There was scribble all in the walls. The furniture was battered and the sheets smelled of mildew. There was prostitution happening in the parking lot and in the rooms (with the doors wide open in plain view of the manager). I refused to stay there with my daughter after a long road trip and instead went down the street to a clean and safe Holiday Inn. The manager assured me my money would be refunded. A month later they charged me again for the room that I never used.

I reserved a room with 1 King bed, but was given a room with 2 double beds. There were no other rooms available (surprisingly, because this place is awful). This was not the biggest issue though. The room was dirty and had a musky odor. The sheets and bedding had stains and looked very worn. I actually put my own blanket on top of the bedding and slept on top of that because it just didn't look/smell clean. There were holes all over the walls (I thought they might have been bullet holes!) They covered them with spackle but it was never painted over or finished. There was a good 2" gap under the door to the outside. Paint peeling off the walls. There was mold on the back side of the door and graffiti on the back of the door. The floor was actually coming up in places. The bathtub and all bathroom fixtures were covered in rust and it didn't look like anything had been cleaned recently. I actually couldn't even get the shower to come on at all. I had to go purchase cleaning supplies to clean the bathroom myself. The TV didn't work, and the TV couldn't be plugged in at the same time as the mini fridge. Only one outlet in the entire room actually worked. There were sketchy things going on in the parking lot during the night and I was scared to even leave my room after dark. I spent 2 nights here because all the local hotels were full. I have a pretty high tolerance for cheap hotels, but this was definitely the worst I've ever stayed in.

My "smoke-free" room stunk from cigarettes and bed throws were having many cigarette holes. I killed two large insects - possibly cockroaches. That`s enough to never stay there again.

Bed comfortable; shower with damage. Ice machine non-functional; towels new and clean. Bed linen with holes. Convenient location and low price.

There were roaches in the room.
1.0 / 5.0
The room was listed as non smoking and I could not detect any odors, but the spread had cigarette burns in it. There was follicle evidence that the tub was not properly washed out. Aside from the window heater/ac, there was an auxiliary heater set up in a corner, by the bed, that ran constantly. It was also plugged into an extension cord that made me feel unsafe. The sheets were well past their use as evidenced by the many holes in the sheets. The free breakfast was not good because the machine was out of order leaving only coffee, and suspect cinnamon rolls that following everything else, was probably not fresh. Pictures attached.

Room only had one outlet. Either the TV / Refrigerator or unplug one of them for the desk light to plug in.
Room repairs were conducted but not painted.
It was good for the price.
