While the 2 different female employees I dealt with were fine, the WHOLE 4th floor smelled like Marijuana to the point where I had to change rooms & had a headache from the smell. When I walked into the 1st room, the bedside table was close to the a/c unit & the alarm clock was on the floor & unplugged. I informed a 3rd shift employee, but nothing was done. Since I had a last minute booking, I was made to check out & then check back in. I asked for different room, but still had the problem with the super strong weed smell. I got home & washed my clothes but they still smell like weed. There are signs for no smoking cigarettes, weed, or vaping yet they don't enforce these rules. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone after this past weekend. I was hoping to be relaxed, & instead was hot boxed.

Average at best. If you need to be at Wake, it's very close. But it's not anything special, and the breakfast didn't even have any black tea. Peppermint or raspberry were the only options.

BED BUGS 4 ROOMS SAME OUTCOME. I have filed reports with Health Department, CDC, Hotel booking sites, Best Western , This hotel. NO RESPONSE. MANAGERS knew this have been an issue since July 2025 , it's disgusting . I like this hotel and this management company ruined it. I will never stay at a Best Western again. People please check your rooms when you check in at any hotel. I have health issues that bed bug bites can make very painful to walk. No word on if it's been professionally treated , no word from Terrance waited them couple days , YOU NEVER CALLED OR RESPONSED TO THE ISSUE. This hotel gets a zero from me , no concern on cleanliness, customer service, or public safety. Where's my refund? I have photos , you never asked to see .

Was okay. Noticed there were things in the room that weren't really clean.... something was under the alarm clock that looked like it had been there a while. Soap scum built up in the soap dish. Lack of communication with the housekeeping staff caused a slight issue when we re-registered early yesterday morning to keep the room an extra night.
