Country Hearth Inn of Knightdale

The location is convenient and quiet, with friendly and helpful staff. However, it can be a bit hidden and hard to find without GPS.

The pictures online are very deceiving. When we got there, the first room they gave us had such a strong musty smell that we didn’t even make it all the way inside and had to ask for a new room. The second room didn’t smell as bad, but there were several other problems with this room. For starters, the bathroom was absolutely disgusting. When we went into the bathroom, we noticed little tiny hairs, what looked like could be ***** hairs, all over the toilet paper and the toilet seat. The front desk attendant came in to replace all of the toilet paper. Naturally we wanted to change rooms again but clearly the hotel itself wasn’t well taken care of and we had just taken a 9 hour drive from Jersey so we were exhausted and didn’t want to keep having to switch rooms so we just stayed and made it work. The shower was dirty and also had a visible hole in the wall behind the showerhead which they failed to cover up or even take care of at all. The couch and the desk chair were just very worn and old and didn’t look desirable to sit in but again, we did because it was the only place to sit and eat. The fridge was dirty. The bathroom sink had no stopper and was visibly dirty and old. The towel racks had rust all over them. At a point we needed ice but the machine in the hall was very old and dirty so we went to a gas station to get a bag of ice instead. Overall, the hotel was in very poor condition, dirty, & not well taken care of or having any upkeep. I would not recommend at all.

The smell was awful. I want go back and the breakfast was nothing
