We stayed here for the 2024 AKC Fast Cat Invitational. This hotel was very dog friendly and the staff was very accommodating for pets and their owners. We kept our dog in his crate when the maids came to clean but our maid was very sweet to him and asked how we did every day. There is a nice size grass area for the dogs to use, but it is not fenced in. Breakfast was pretty decent. There was something on the buffet for everyone to eat and you could take it to go if needed. The pool was not heated but was inside in a heated room. It's open to 11 pm so I'd go late at night when no one was there. The gym is little but functional. There was also a laundry area beside the pool room in case you needed it. Location was good and it was convenient to have Aldi's across the street from the hotel.

I wish the grass area for the dogs was fenced in but there are fenced in areas for dogs within 20-minute drive if needed (Robert's Arena).

Breakfast was good. Queen mattress was the perfect degree of firmness, sleeping on a cloud! Housekeeping staff, Lizzie, went out of her way to be helpful. All staff were friendly

Rubberized blackout curtains did not pull all the way across the window. Even when the lower half could be pulled together & fastened with a pin, on an angle, that still left a very large open V where a light from the parking lot shown through right onto my friend's face all night.Tub/shower wall need a grab bar. I did not feel safe!

The staff was amazing! My daughter attends Wilmington College and had surgery to repair her ACL. I flew in from California to support her. The staff was very helpful and supportive. They smiled and asked how she was doing every time we came in. They wished us well when we checked out.

The only reason I didn’t give a 10 is because my room smelled of cigarettes. But the room was clean.

Breakfast was good, food was hot, bacon was crispy. I was able to check in quickly and get settled quickly which was nice after a long day of driving.

The refrigerator in the room had a very loud click when it turned on and off, it keep waking me up as I was dozing off to sleep.

The property was centrally located for our trip. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast bar had several choices, and we appreciated the to go bags.

The pool was closed as it is being worked on. This wasn’t advertised on the Booking.com page. We would have chosen a different hotel if we had known.

Location was perfect. The beds were amazing. The suite was so spacious! The breakfast was amazing. There is an Aldi’s and dollar general directly in front of the hotel so anything we forgot we grabbed there. The pet fee was $25 for 5 days that was amazingly cheap. Check out was noon!!

Nothing at all.

The hotel is located in town near shipping places and restaurants. It’s clean. I love the gym and heated swimming pool that my kids and I went twice both. It felt like our little vacation while visiting family before Christmas. It’s also pet friendly . Staff are mostly friendly .

The tub doesn’t drain very well. Breakfast was ok for the price we paid. Options are eggs, sausage patty, pancake machine, yogurt, muffin, bagel, biscuit (some day) , banana, orange, apple, juice, milk, coffee.

Breakfast was excellent. Enjoyed the queen suite room with three beds.

The electric/usb panel between the beds was worn out. Plugs would not stay in. Not sure the usb worked.

Breakfast was better than average version of the same weird breakfast at all two star hotel chains.

Had to run the bathroom fan to drown out the sound of the high school wrestling team that checked in at 11:30 pm. You can hear all the neighbors. The fan did block the noise though.
