The price was good, and the front desk clerk was friendly and polite, but most everything else was unfortunate. The front desk area and hallway were clean, with cheery carpeting, but then we got to our room. On the positive side, the bathroom was clean! Everything else was not. The carpet had some sort of stuff on it that someone had halfheartedly tried to scrape up but was unsuccessful. I don't know what it was, but if you have to question what was on your hotel rug, that's bad. The bedspreads were ridiculously old, thin and obviously hadn't been washed in a VERY long time. The sheets underneath were fairly clean thankfully. There was an odd-chemical-masking-cigarette-smell all over. My kids were grossed out and wanted to leave, but as soon as we saw the 'No Refunds' sign at the front desk, we were stuck. Mattresses were hard and uncomfortable. Maybe in the summer, the thin sheet and dirty threadbare bedspread would be enough to keep warm, but it was cold in January with only those 2 items to sleep under. There's no breakfast of any sort, but thankfully there is a good selection of fast food and family-style restaurants within a very close drive. On the positive side,the area has a decent amount of shopping and eating options, downtown Albemarle is cute, and it's less than an hour to Charlotte. I don't expect a luxurious stay for under $100 per night by any means, but 'regularly washed bedspreads' and 'not freaking my kids out' would be good.
