My wife and I had an extremely troubling experience upon arriving at this hotel. The parking lot was crowded with individuals loitering, drinking openly from the trunks of vehicles, and we witnessed what appeared to be drug use near the dumpster. There was also a man visibly under the influence near the entrance and a young, unsupervised child wandering around in only a diaper.
Given these observations, we felt it was not a safe or appropriate environment and chose to leave immediately. We canceled our stay and drove 20 minutes to another hotel in Gastonia. The front desk staff member who assisted us with the cancellation was understanding and professional, which is the only reason we are rating the staff service positively. Unfortunately, we were still charged for the full night despite leaving right after check-in.
We cannot recommend this property under any circumstances and strongly advise others to avoid it.
