I just wanted a bed and a shower. Barely met that standard. The price was good but I would not stay there under normal circumstances.

Smoking smell
I couldn’t sleep because the smoking smell in the room. The air conditioner kept blowing out air with smell. The floor is not clean and not flat. The door is broken on the side so the cold air blows in. Even though I was asking a non smoking room, the horrible room is what they gave me.
The picture showed on internet was fake.

Unsafe. Electrical issues including sparks shooting out of an outlet. Power strip blew resulting in loss of power to TV, fridge, microwave and lamp. Maintenance came and was able to restore power. A very loud fight erupted in the parking lot after midnight lasting over an hour. Several police units finally responded and ended the dispute involving 5 or 6 people.

The gentleman who checked me in was very nice very efficient and very friendly. The motel is older but with a lot of TLC it would be great.
Less than 8 minutes from Duke University.

My room was not clean! The floors were dirty, the AC was leaking water all over, and the bedspread was covered in cigarette holes. Housekeeping did not come to clean my room once in the three days I stayed here.

Its hard to believe that Wyndham associates their name to this property. Better off at a motel 6!

The rooms were extremely dirty. The floors were both slippery and sticky. The furniture in the rooms were stained and in poor condition. There were cigarette burns in the comforters. The bathrooms were also filthy and toilets looked like they had not been cleaned after the last guests.

Worst ever
It was a horrible stay. If i didnt already pay for it i wouldve left. Didnt feel say at all staying there. It was dirty and smelly. It's amazing for what we pay for a "good" nights rest and what a mess we get.
