BEWARE DO NOT PATRONIZE WITH THIS BUSINESS…read more The Wilsonian Event Center and owner Gaynell Stallings is a complete disgrace to the Wilson community. I am highly disappointed that the city has allowed this person to treat the citizens of Wilson in such a poor manner and remain quite. My brother in law and I rented the space for a 50th birthday party. Leading up to the event, I made sure all lines of communication were clear with all vendor to ensure our party went smoothly. Upon arrival, the owner appeared under the influence and alcohol was smelled on her breath by multiple vendors. While setting up our event our decorator ran into an issue as there was only one working electrical outlet. Ms. Stallings was clearly aware of this (based on previous reviews) but failed to let us know during the booking process. Later in the evening she returned to the event clearly intoxicated. She walked around the event taking pictures/videos of our private event. Ms. Stallings was never given permission to post our pictures and/or use it for her personal advertisements. When I noticed she had too much to drink I asked our carters to provide her with food out of concern. After eating she left the event. Ms Stallings returned back to the building at 1:10 am and continued to be intoxicated. She was agitated and refused to complete the walk through per her contract. I asked her several times if the condition of the building met her standards but her focus was for us to vacate the building. She proceeded to turn the lights off and stated "it's time for everyone to go". I explained to her we were not leaving until all our belongings were retrieved and asked her to turn the lights back on. During the exchange, I expressed how disappointed I was and requested that we talk further on Monday regarding my brother in laws deposit for the building rental . I called her on Monday, 1/16/23 at 8:30 as arranged to follow up. She stated that she was going to deduct $50 dollars from the $500 deposit due to the floors not being mopped. This was untrue as we had hired a cleaning service to clean, which was completed prior to her arrival. At this point, it's obvious that she had an agenda to keep his money. We agreed on $450 as the return deposit. On Tuesday 1/17/23 I called back at 9:30 am to discuss the pick up time for the deposit. During that call she proceeded to tell me she was deducting more money off the deposit . She stated that someone went to mop the floors at the site unbeknownst to her and charged her $ 150. I find it hard to believe that she knew nothing about this arrangement. I had no other choice but to agree so that my brother in law would at least receive some of his deposit. We agreed for pick at 11:30 am. My sister arrived to Ms. Stallings home with law enforcement to secure our deposit and she refused. Unbeknownst to us, Ms. Stallings has a LONG history of STEALING deposits. According to other tenants, she tends to refuse the walk through so she can say things were not done per her check list. This has been a very exhausting and disheartening ordeal for my family and I. We have decided to pursue legal action at this time. It is my hope that our story will save you time and money. Her business practices are unacceptable. At one point Ms. Stallings had the audacity to bring up Black Lives Matter. WHY? Perhaps, because the majority of the attendees at the event are BLACK. As a strong black family in this community we don't need to pull the race card for this fight. The proof is evident and FACTS are FACTS. Ms. Stallings is operating a faulty business and this has been happening for years according to her past renters. Let me add, when we arrived the building was filthy. Trash on the floor. Bathroom floors dirty, the kitchen had roaches on the floor and there were still Christmas decorations at the site Our caters had to assist her with taking down the Christmas tree. We did not make a big deal out this because it was crunch time. Please note I have videos of everything. This matter could have been handled differently but Ms. Stallings forced my hand when she refused to return my brother in laws deposit. BEWARE OF THIS BUSINESS!

We visited this hotel for one night on the way down to Myrtle Beach for our family vacation. We…read morewere so pleasantly surprised by this property. The first thing I noticed when we walked (and as we drove up to the hotel) in was how incredibly clean the hotel was and a sign rating this an "A" 98.0 for cleanliness. The staff at the front desk were so welcoming and very nice. I included pictures of our room, it was immaculate and smelled clean. I've travelled a lot and stayed at many properties and some have that stale hotel smell, this one didn't. It was quiet and very comfortable. The beds and pillows were so comfortable, I had no problems falling asleep. The bathroom and vanity are separate both offering Dove soaps, lotion, shampoo and conditioner, full size containers. Free breakfast everyday, with eggs, meats, fruit, yogurt, etc. On the weekends breakfast is served from 7-10 am. We had the cheese omelet making it into a sandwich with crispy bacon. I can't say enough good things about this property. We are now thinking of making this a permanent spot whenever we travel to the area. Bravo to the staff, you are stellar at making your customers feel welcome and content (filling breakfast). Thank you for a great stay!

Ok, this is going to be a long post…read more Starting with checking in last night. The young girl needs training. When I told her my last name, the first thing she said was "I thought it was a typo". Then when she asked for my ID, I showed her my driver's license and my entire name on the credit card. She kept questioning me about my name not matching. I told her do you want to hear my NJDMV story? Then she finally stopped. No hotel has ever greeted me like this. Then, she asked me repeatedly do I have pets. I said no, just arrived after driving from Disney World. As I signed the paperwork to guarantee that I do not have pets, she kept on "reminding" me do I have pets. At that point after 5 minutes of the check in process I just wanted to go to my room. I booked a king suite back in January. The description on the room said jetted tub. I was looking forward to having a bath. When I walked into the room, there was no bath tub of any kind. I will file a complaint directly to headquarters. Then came asking for a morning call. I called several times before the young lady answered. I told her I wanted a morning call at 7:15. I was surprised she did not know from her system which room was calling. Or maybe she just wanted to confirm the room number? The room was very large and the bed was comfy. Everything in the room was good, except the jetted tub was missing. This morning, at 7:15, there was a knock on my door. Apparently that was the morning call! Instead of a phone call, another young lady came and knocked on my door as morning call. What?? This was totally unexpected. I am now really wondering what kind of phone system this hotel was using. Breakfast was excellent. The two ladies running the breakfast were very nice. Check out was easy and fast. The location of the hotel was excellent, and the lobby was clean. There was only one elevator, and it was very small. I am just not sure the price I paid for the night was worth all the troubles. I would recommend booking at another hotel if you are in the area.

For some folks, this might have been the only hotel stay they'd have for years. And some folks don't have insurance. If that'd been us, this would have been a big deal. IHG and the hotel management need to treat every guest as if this was their one hotel stay ever. As if they'd spent their savings to pay for a room. Because that's NOT their approach to customers, I'll stay elsewhere. (Friend just texted and asked me about this review which reminded me... I talked to the hotel manager on Monday. Told her the room smelled weird (like sicky sweet) when we got there at midnight, but that we couldn't really leave since it was so late. She said it was probably because an old lady stayed there before us and "you know how old ladies smell". ) Really... stay somewhere else.
