While I understand that prices were inflated due to the Wake Forest homecoming weekend, the hotel and our room were shabby for the price of over $300 per night (including tax). The location near the university is convenient. Our room had a fist-sized hole in the wall where someone obviously punched the wall. We found a "creepy crawly" insect on our wall. The carpet was worn, and needed to be cleaned. The room and hotel did not justify the high price, even for an event weekend. My friend did ask about a price reduction given the above problems, but was offered only Best Western points, which are of no use to me and I declined.

The new TV in our room did not work and no one seemed to know how to fix it. The ice machine on our floor was missing and all that was left were pipes coming out of the floor. One elevator was broken and the other was dirty. The staff was very friendly. The hotel is just tired looking.

No regrets
We didn't really stay -- checked out five minutes after we checked in and were comfortable forfeiting the $120. With the neighborhood, condition of the premises, attitude of the staff, and overall vibe, we just didn't feel safe so we bailed. This is also the last time I prepay through a travel site like hotels.com. I made the mistake of prioritizing proximity to Wake Forest University over hotel quality.
