Hotel Details

Location

Located just off I-440, this inn is a 12-minute drive from downtown Raleigh and within a 10-minute walk of WakeMed Health and Hospitals.
The hotel is situated less than 6 km from Marsh Creek Park and a 15-minute drive from North Carolina State University. The immediate area around the property has been noted for having groups of people lingering outside, which may affect the perception of safety for some. This area provides practical access to the highway and local medical centers but is not a walkable neighborhood for dining or shopping.

Accommodation

Each wood-furnished room includes cable TV, a microwave, a refrigerator, a radio, and a phone.
Wheelchair-accessible rooms with raised toilets and grab rails are available. The rooms feature air conditioning, heating, and a private bathroom. The overall maintenance and cleanliness of the property have been inconsistent: reports of cockroach infestations, strong odors (mold, smoke, cleaning fluids), torn or burned bed linens, and fixtures in disrepair (loose faucets, non-working shower handles, broken TV remotes) are frequent. Some rooms have no bedside lamps, only fluorescent overhead lights, and walls are described as very thin, allowing noise to travel from adjacent rooms and the outside. The beds have been described as hard and uncomfortable. These conditions suggest that the quality of the room can vary significantly and might not meet basic comfort and cleanliness expectations for many travelers.

Dining

There is no on-site restaurant, but a food truck is parked in the hotel lot.
Breakfast options are not consistently available; you should check your booking details for specific offerings. For other meals, the in-room microwave and refrigerator are useful for simple meal preparation. The food truck provides a convenient alternative for a casual meal. Many fast-food and casual dining options are also within a short drive due to the hotel's immediate freeway access.

Wellness and Leisure

The hotel features a small on-site fitness center for guest use.
No swimming pool or spa is available. Gym access is provided via the fitness center.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request a room away from the freeway-facing side if you are a light sleeper.

  • 02

    Confirm the room condition at check-in; if unacceptable, request a change immediately before the first night.

  • 03

    Plan to eat at the food truck or bring your own food, as the hotel has no restaurant.

  • 04

    Use the free on-site parking to explore Raleigh, as the hotel is a 12-minute drive from downtown.
