This Hotels best asset is its proximity to everything in Fuquay. Front desk staff are friendly and attentive. acknowledging a good morning to patrons every morning. Theres coffee in the lobby around the clock, Its a well maintained hotel and clean. there were small problems with the locks on some doors. our key cards didn't work after only a couple uses and we later overheard other patrons mentioning their keys had to be stuck in the reader twice for it to work or the door handle has to be pulled up after closing..? ..not an expert on card reading locks but have seen enough problems like this at other hotels to know that usually those are subtle signs that the locks need to be checked and /or recalibrated.. simply put they're probably older and with continual use, wearing out. reissuing new cards may be a short term fix, easier perhaps and cheaper but the safety of customers should be the utmost priority in this day of age as it only takes one incident for a small problem to become a large one. We noticed that accessible rooms are next to the elevators for convenience I suspect. another tidbit about accessible rooms is, if you stay on a Tuesday night, be prepared to hear the trash being picked up in the morning the next day just outside the windows by the elevator. the dumpster is on the north side of the hotel and its loud early Wednesday morning. The room itself was good sized, has many hi tech outlets and was comfortable outside of trying to figure out the room heating/air unit. It was hard to maintain a constant temperature. we tried to set it to 72 with the fan on for circulation and it kept automatically going back to 75 and shutting down so it was stuffy. water pressure is pretty good and we had plenty of hot water during our stay. we noticed housekeeping on duty most of the day and they are available if needing towels or anything else. the continental breakfast is good and offers several hot items, eggs, sausage, make your own Belgium waffle, hot and cold cereal, juices, yogurt and fruit. great for on the go and kept stocked and cleaned during breakfast hours by a busy attendant. another option is several breakfast places within walking distance or less than a mile. Overall , a nice hotel to stay at while visiting or discovering Fuqua-Varina and outlying areas.
