My fiance booked a room here when he started a new job in Raleigh, and our house was not ready to move into yet. I traveled to Raleigh to visit him for a weekend. My first night in Raleigh was also my fiance's first night in the hotel. It was also our last night there. Walking through the halls to our room, I noticed that the place was in disrepair. There were holes in the walls, and many of them were poorly patched. The overall look of the place was that is was worn down with scuff marks, dents and dings everywhere. Once we were in our room, I noticed the appliances and cabinets in the mini-kitchen were very old and falling apart. Some of the cabinets wouldn't close and were falling off the hinges. The pillows were uber-flat. The sheets did not look especially clean. I don't consider myself a super-picky person about where I sleep. I'm happy with a clean, dry, comfy bed and a shower, so I figured I could put up with this place for the few nights I was in Raleigh. After spending one night there, I got a shower in the morning. I grabbed one of only two towels that had been placed in our room and discovered that the towel was COVERED in hair. The second towel was also covered in hair. I ended up drying off with a hand towel because it was the cleanest I could find. I was so grossed out by this that I refused to spend another night there.

We went to see my sister, a student at UNC Chapel Hill, and used Priceline to reserve a room. We ended up at StudioPLUS North Raleigh and it was truly an awful experience. If we hadn't already paid the money for the Priceline reservation, we would have definitely switched hotels for the second night of our stay. When we got to our room and turned on the light, we were greeted by an enormous, dark stain in the middle of the floor. Everything in the room seemed old and in disrepair. By pulling back the covers on the bed, we revealed sheets that were not only old and thin, but stained all over. It was truly disgusting. The next day, when we returned to the room, there was a cup in front of our door and sunflower seeds stuck under the door, a gift from one of our neighbors. We turned on the light and a large, black bug ran across the room. When we went to sleep, we hoped we would fall asleep as soon as possible so we didn't have to think about how disgusting our room was. I have stayed in many hotels but this one was so bad that it will stick in my memory as one of the worst.
