Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
When I checked in I was enformed the elevator was broken and had been for about 2 weeks. I was placed on the 3rd floor with no assistance in getting all my luggage up several flights of stairs. The room was filthy and smelled of marijuana. The last 3 days of my stay the hot water was out and the hotel was not sure when it would be fixed. I would not recommend to stay at this hotel. Hopefully new management can come in to improve standards.

Disliked: Cleanliness
I stay here every time I visit the Raleigh area and this is the first time I had an awful experience. The room smelled like cigarette smoke, the room was also all slanted so everything felt like you were going to slide. All of the tiles in the bathroom were cracked. In the bathroom I was only given one towel, which was fine since it was a one night stay and my husband didn’t need a shower. Not sure wha happened but the room we were in (324) should not be rented out. By the time we got in after the hockey game I was exhausted as I am disabled and just wanted sleep. I’d hope we were not sat in this room due to having a service dog and I have never been put in a room this awful when the normal woman is there at check in.

The room had a weird smell and my wife got an allergic reaction, probably due to the place being pet friendly. And the lack of cleanliness.
