The location is excellent. The room was nice, especially for the price. I choose hotels for value and convenience, not luxury. The main disappointment was breakfast and corridor noise. As a value option in the area, they seem to have attracted some guests who are, shall we say, less disciplined in terms of behavior. Running, yelling, loud knocks (including one that might have been a child pranking guests by knocking and running). I've stayed at a number of HI Express hotels and this breakfast had fewer options. It was (powdered) eggs OR omelettes, not both. The yogurt was expired (today is 11/10 and the expiration date you see in the photo was six days ago). You had to dig all the way to the back to get current ones. Front desk staff was very polite. I would consider staying here again because the room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The drawbacks I mentioned would be factored into what I would be willing to pay. So I'll give it 4 stars (I wrestled with 3 - it's really 3.5 to me).

The male host was exceptional. Called ahead with questions and he was very friendly and helpful. He remembered me and that we had been to Carowinds that day and asked us about it! The cleaning crew was awesome because our room was spotless and immaculate. Beds were comfy with each sleeper getting 2 pillows with embroidery labeling soft and firm on each pillow case. The 24-7 coffee downstairs was so good with fresh ground beans for every cup. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
