The hotel smells fowl. Not sure what I was smelling but it stunk. Maybe just a weird musty odor? The bath tub was gross and the shower rod was all jacked up.
On a positive note, the TV worked, It was in a good location, only $80 and the bed was more comfortable than it looked.

Staff was very courteous. However, I booked this hotel because it was a PLUS hotel. There wasn't any breakfast as advertised on the website and there was an odd smell, almost like a vape or pot, throughout the hallways, even though it was a non-smoking hotel. While we were there, the toilet broke - clean water from the tank was all over the floor. The staff fixed it quickly and offered to move us to another room. I was attending an event at the Raleigh Conference Center, so I wasn't spending much time in the room. I don't think I will return.
