I go to Carolina Panthers games usually once a year and have never had a bad experience until this hotel. The parking situation was horrendous, it's tiny and said it was at full capacity then entire stay so we were never able to park at the hotel. The room also was not cleaned properly at all there was someone's snack trash on the floor right next to the bed. The AC barely worked in both my dad's room and mine, the microwave didn't work and the fridge didn't work in my dad's room. 2 seperate rooms side by side (211,213) and almost every aspect of each room was poor. Would never go here again

Nice overall, very professional and courteous service, except breakfast staff, which overall can use some upgrades. Location very nice, perfect for us. Parking was not too expensive. They use an outside vendor with smooth transaction.
