I booked a room (King Suite) through an online hotel booking site, for two nights for myself, my wife and my 1 year old daughter. We came to Asheboro to visit the NC Zoo. First, when we arrived we were met by the front desk having a note stating they were assisting a guest and would be back soon...fast forward 20 or so minutes later and we were met by a front desk worker. She was actually quite pleasant to deal with and gave us a first floor room. First, the keys didn't work but that was an easy fix. When we entered the room, it smelled. Plain and simple. It wasn't ”filty” per se but it was definitely worn and out dated. Nothing would shout to me as being CLEAN. However, it was adequate except for the occasional cigarette (possibly?) burn marks in the walls / above fireplace. We stayed one night and then left for the zoo. We decided the size of the bed was not conducive for a heavy snoring wife (sorry) and a light sleeping husband, so I stated I would use the sofa bed. This was the mistake that unraveled this trip. I pulled off the two cushions and found a Walgreens bag between them and the bed. I thought it could be ours because we went to Walgreens to get some toiletries. However, when I opened the bag I quickly realized it wasn't ours. Inside the bag was remnants of hollowed out cigars and at least six needle syringes. They included used alcohol wipes with blood on them. Being a police officer of 15 years and one that has personally investigated narcotics cases, I immediately was disgusted. I immediately told my wife to pack up and went to the front desk and confronted them about this. They offered me a refund for my stay which I gladly took and I left. I would never stay there EVER AGAIN. The reviews on various websites show you it is not a good hotel. I would not recommend this as a stay and only went there because it was part of the hidden rate for a popular booking site (whereas we couldn't see name or reviews but could see an 8.8/10 rating) however, after booking the non-refundable room we looked at the reviews and for the first 3 pages it was all 1 star reviews...not sure how one can have an 8.8 rating with so many bad reviews. The good: Well it was close to a lot.... The breakfast wasn't too bad..it was very basic and when we got there everything was already gone in terms of hot food and we went at 7 (opens at 6). So we waited 30 or so minutes to get that replenished. I will say the front desk lady was quite accommodating and nice throughout this. She gave us a room on lower level due to having a young child. She offered us cookies on arrival and was pleasant to deal with. She was the bright side to this trip. Again, do yourself a favor and go a couple blocks up to much better and cleaner hotels. The one we ultimately went to after checking out of here was 1,000,000X better and cleaner and was maybe $20 more.
