This was a very nice hotel, easily located just off the interstate 40. The staff that I dealt with during our four nights stay were all very friendly and helpful. I had specially made a request for a room on as high a floor as possible, and was allocated exactly what I wanted. Thanks! 😁 Our room on the 3rd floor was clean, and had all the facilities that we required. Very comfortable King bed, Nice big quality TV, with all the channels that we wanted, with perfect reception. Breakfast which was included was acceptable, without being outstanding. We used the self service laundry which was very convenient. Car parking was free with plenty of space. Overall, a very pleasant stay. 😊 If ever I visit Raleigh again, I'd have no hesitation about staying here again.

Unfortunately, one fairly minor problem we encountered was there was no plug mechanism in our rooms bathroom sink. We did report it to reception, but it didn't actually get fixed during our stay, which admittedly was two days over a weekend. Mildly inconvenient when trying to have a shave. 😒

The property is clean and very dog friendly! There is a large area in the back of the property for dogs and thankfully it’s clean and grassy and they have doggie poop bags provided for you. The pet fee was only $30.

Our room was on the dim side. The bathroom was very spacious (we had a handicap accessible room) so there was ample room for a wheelchair to maneuver. It was just a little on the dim side. I think the bathroom needs better lighting. But they are going through a renovation so hopefully this is one of the things that will be improved.

Despite knowing renovations were happening, I never felt uncomfortable. If there weren’t signs posted I would have not known. Rooms and property clean. Close to my family I was visiting, staff polite, helpfdul, breakfast was easily accessible.

The continental breakfast was basic but nice - there was a different selection of warm breakfast items each day. The location was perfect for the work trip I was on. The complimentary toiletries were a nice touch, and there were Dove pumps for shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the shower,

The walls were thin, and I could hear people talking in the hallway and through the walls of neighboring rooms. The toilet paper was also very thin - a thicker ply would have been nice.

The pool was great for the children, and our room assignment was perfect for us. Breakfast options were sufficient. The couch bed looked brand new

The property did not disclose about the remodeling construction until AFTER we paid- the noise was incredibly disturbing if you are trying to rest in day hours. Bed was a little uncomfortable for me but some others didn’t mind..

Exceptional clean room, pretty quiet area, free breakfast with all options, comfy beds, and is pet friendly (we did not have a pet but saw others enjoying that perk)

Trying to navigate the area for restaurants to eat at.

I slept well because the location is quiet. The hotel felt safe, and the room was comfortable and clean. That’s what I need.

It is out of the city so taxi/uber costs were high. The breakfast was OK although options were few. The desk wasn’t staffed during breakfast so took a long time to purchase bottled water for the day.

The property was very clean, organized and quiet at night. Daily housekeeping was a plus, and the housekeepers were very nice. The property was also in a good location, namely close to Dix park. The staff members are very polite, professional, and kind. Breakfast was good and featured a different assortment of foods each day.

Could have been more sidewalks around the neighborhood to facilitate better walkability.

Breakfast was great. Lots to choose from and plenty of seating. Everything was clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and we felt safe. Less than 5 minutes from NC state where we needed to be.
