Lots of out of service items

Elevator (only one) out of service for days, icemaker out of service, pancake maker out of service, fire alarm went off just after 5 am due to faulty service (?). Poor signage on out of service elevators. Staff would just say “so terribly sorry”. No pride ownership in this hotel anywhere. No comps at all.

First, the elevator was not working and did not get fixed the 3 days I was there. There was no service elevator so we had to use stairs ice machines.Also not working:ice machine, pancake maker for breakfast. Outside areas were trashy and not well kept. The staff were pleasant and tried to compensate for things like the elevator not working, but they were helpless to do anything about it. Breakfast was basically okay and servers tried to keep items out and available, but there were only two people including the cook who were apparently working the breakfast. My room was clean. Mattress and pillows were way too soft.

We were there for a medical appt at Duke. The motel was close enough without a lot of traffic. The room was very clean. The staff was friendly, helpful and courteous. The breakfast would rival any restaurant meal. Will definitely stay again.
