Tatted up gang banger looking men hanging out in parking lot for a few hours, homeless people using the dog park and bags of trash near our front door were a few things that made us uncomfortable with our stay.

Great, simple, minimum-frills place to stay, especially if bringing dogs. The property is nice and has multiple grassy areas filled with plants. Convenient access for a quick pee-walk with the pups. There are also multiple wooden gazebos and benches that are pretty if you want to sit outside for a bit. There is a small enclosed dog park on the property as well that is a great and safe place to let the dogs off leash to stretch after the car ride to get there. The fridge was nice and cold. The beds were comfy. Nice showers with soap/ shampoo/ conditioner included on the wall. Quick-grab breakfast options available in the morning at the front office

The hotel was not in top condition. The window blinds were broken and had to be opened and shut by hand one slat at a time. The shampoo dispenser was missing in the shower. There was a body bath and conditioner dispenser in the shower. The overall cleanliness was good. The breakfast was minimal. You could hear dogs barking in the next room. Overall, It served our purpose at a reasonable price.

We paid $187 for one night for a queen size room. Thec first thing I noticed was how dirty the door was to the room. They put us in a 2 bedroom room which that's not what we booked, the smell of the room was awful ! I was trying not to gag from the smell. We would've went somewhere else but all other places were full! The beds were so hard my shoulder hurt in the morning from it. All the baseboards were dirty, there was graffiti in the bathroom. There was writing all over the guest booklet. The remote did not work. The wifi they gave us did not work at all. For as much as we paid for one night it was awful. The smell was the worst part, I had to go buy a candle to help cover it up. They did have a fire pit outside at night and a dog park. They should really consider cleaning the place up. Maybe putting in some different flooring because I'm sure it was dog pee smell from the carpets !

This used to be our go to when visiting fort Bragg. Not sure if it is under new management or ownership but this trip made us think twice about staying here in the future. Front desk staff was rude, and when checking in after the 4pm time, several people in front of me were told their rooms were not yet ready. Outside trash cans were overflowing the entire 3 days we were there. We were only given 1 roll of toilet paper. Called for more and it never came. There were also people sleeping in a mini van back by the dog run/fire pit areas, made me very uncomfortable. We will be exploring other options on our next visit unfortunately.
