The 1 bed room and living room was amazing. Clean and comfortable had everything we could need for a weekly stay. Had to travel a little ways for work but lots of food options around.

I recently stayed here while in town for work. I originally chose it because of the price but was pleasantly surprised. This place isn't fancy, but the room was clean, the bed was comfortable, it was quiet, and the shower had fantastic water pressure. I overnight in Raleigh every few months and will be staying here again for sure.
