The staff here is excellent. Great attitude and will do everything possible to help. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for the amenities. We’ve stayed at this hotel multiple times over several years due to meetings at NC State. The hot tub worked several years ago and has never worked since. It’s hard to imagine a hotel with a hot tub that doesn’t get a new pump. In addition, the pool was shocked to the point we couldn’t even breath the air in the pool room. Our eyes watered just being in there the chemicals were so intense. Someone needs to take over the management of the pool facilities so that paying customers who are looking forward to using them can get their money’s worth. Before we book here again I’m going to call in advance to make sure they have the hot tub working and the pool cleaned properly.
