Top North Carolina State Fairgrounds Hotel Reviews

Remodeled ranch style home with Firepit conveniently located

Remodeled ranch style home with Firepit conveniently located

8/10 Good
"This home had everything needed but nothing more. The kitchen didn't have much equipment or even a salt shaker to cook with, which is one reason we book homes instead of hotels, and it had the bare minimum of towels for 6 people over 3 nights. To be clear, it was perfectly serviceable, but very little care went into the space. As a final note, the home wasn't super clean."
