    I didn't like that I'm not getting any IHG points because they haven't finalized the transition from Lake Norman Inn to Garner. You hear more noise from the housekeeping staff than noise from the street and outdoors. Wish they extended breakfast to 10 am during weekends.

    The front entrance was under renovation so we had to go through the back. The elevator has no air and is very slow making the elevator experience difficult. The stairs are exterior and has cigarette butts everywhere. The room itself was nice, clean, and fine for the one night we were there.

    I had to change my first room because the room smelled like dog. I was not able to use the pool which was one of the reasons that I chose this place. I could not get WiFi. I had to purchase spray and air freshener for the room. The picture that I saw on the site were not what I got when I get there. I would not recommend.

    The room was very clean, nice place for a nights stay. Near some good food choices. Would book again.

    Friendly staff

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    It was still under some construction when we stayed so I don’t think I can give a full proper rating of the place, but the room was nice, the air conditioning kept the room really cool, the only thing that was annoying was that the tub drain was not working properly, it was very slow to drain, it filled up during a shower and then would take all night to drain, probably just clogged. Otherwise, the staff was friendly, it’s in a very good location close to places to eat and shop within walking distance or short car ride.

    Two, when my mother checked in- the front desk receptionist was kind assisted her when her legs out. However, as she was waiting snd helping others, there were multiple complaints of issues with Wifi, television and AC units not working in multiple rooms from multiple guests. Thankfully, the room we booked had running AC, was clean, spacious accesible. However, one of the TVs weren't working. Third, the breakfast didnt accommodate our needs as far as variety options. There wasnt any food besides eggs and breaded items that didnt have pork. I wish there was at least cereal or fruit available to offset everything.

    The bed and pillows were very comfortable. Very helpful and attentive staff. Quiet environment. Free coffee 24/7. Lots of supermarkets and places to eat nearby.

    The hotel was under construction.the pool was closed.the bathtub was super slippery and I almost fell twice.had to put a towel down in the tub as housekeeping could not find any type of mat.i like the location just off the interstate and close to restaurants.if you like to swim I would call ahead as to when the pool might be open.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Pool was closed: no mention on there site or Expedia. Walls in elevator dirty. Dust balls behind chair in room. I understand they’re under construction but a little wipe and proper sweeping goes a long way.

    Good

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Hotel under renovation and no messages on site that notified patrons. Swimming pool is closed. Breakfast undeserved. Overall hotel experience is poor. I would like a partial refund for the duration of the stay because it was an uncomfortable stay and my children were disappointed with the lack of amenities.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The rooms were clean and remodeled but with the construction there is no pool and the 3rd floor smells like Long John Silvers. Not in the room but in the hallway.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great remodeled property and it’s updated, clean & conveniently located!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Construction going on. Hotel was good
