Free parking and an indoor pool a few minutes from Wake Forest

Why guests love it

The room ran small for the price of a suite elsewhere, but the free parking lot sat right outside and the indoor pool kept two kids busy for an hour before dinner. The bagel bar covered breakfast well enough for a one-night stop, though it fell short of a full hot breakfast. For a highway overnight before a Wake Forest game, it did exactly what was needed without any surprises at check-in.

Business-friendly rooms with free parking near Hanes Mall

Why guests love it

The work desk in the room turned out to be genuinely useful for catching up on email before a Hanes Mall shopping trip with the family.

Nothing about the room stood out as memorable, but everything functioned exactly as expected for the price.
