For the money this hotel is overall fine. The room was clean, the bathroom was clean, the front desk people were very nice. My only beef with this hotel is that the side entrances on the left side of the building/parking lot did not lock to the outside. There was a panel where you could stick your room key in that was supposed to unlock the door, which presumably means they should have been locked to the outside, but the two doors I used did not lock. One of them didn't even close completely. This meant that any rando from the neighborhood could have come into the building without having to go through the front lobby. This seems very unsafe. I informed two separate front desk people of this and they said they were going to get maintenance on it. That was a week ago (Sept 2025) and hopefully they fixed it by now. Assuming that is fixed this is an acceptable hotel in the fairgrounds/NC State area. I got it because I decided at the last minute to spend the night in Raleigh so I could go to the second day of an event I was there for. I didn't want to spend a lot of money and I needed something close to the fairgrounds because I was tired from traveling and not sleeping well the night before. If you just need somewhere to sleep and you're not looking for a posh experience (and they fix those doors!) this was fine.

Hotel was clean, location was good, rooms are a good size and I liked that there was a balcony. I stayed on the 2nd floor and walked the entire floor looking for an ice machine. Finally went down to the lobby and they told me there was only one on the first floor, which was not very convenient to our location.

The hallway stinks. They have a 100% smoke free policy but it’s reeking marijuana on most rooms you pass by. The pillows are half the size of the normal pillow. More like a throw pillow. You definitely get what you paid for. The showers are outdated. The tissue paper rolls are only half of the entire roll. I hope you improve the place eventually but Im never coming back. The staff are living in the hotel and looks like the ones smelling pot. Find somewhere else but here.

Room was clean enough and beds were ok but that was about it. Security doors broken. Outside is run down and in need of serious attention. Staff was rude and tense. The breakfast was ok but the door greater demanded a “card” , the room number and number of people in the room.

Quiet hotel. 24 minute walk to the arena. Safe walk. Room clean. Bed decent. Nice pillows. Tv randomly kept shutting off. Asked maintenence to look at it. They may have come while we were gone because when we got back to the room it was on and never shut off again, so thank you. Gentlemen at check in very nice and helpful. Our second floor bedroom over looking the pool had a balcony which was a pleasant surprise. Didnt use the pool but people were in it and it looked very clean. Bkft was just so so. Microwavable pancakes and sausage but it was ok. Scrambled eggs were good.

Title: Worst Hotel Stay – Unsafe and Disgusting Conditions Review: This was by far the most disgusting and unsafe hotel stay I have ever experienced. The room I was given reeked of smoke, even though it was supposed to be non-smoking. There were visible burn marks on the furniture and bedding, which looked like fire hazards just waiting to happen. To make matters worse, the room had bugs — crawling on the floor and in the corners. Absolutely unacceptable. I immediately brought this to the hotel staff’s attention, but nothing meaningful was done to correct the situation. A hotel should provide a clean and safe place to stay — this property failed on every level. If you care about your health, comfort, or safety, avoid this hotel at all costs. I would not recommend it to anyone, not even for a single night.

Well maintained property and very nice staff

We chose this hotel solely just because of it’s proximity to the Lenovo center, it’s about a 20 minute walk. The hotel was a little overpriced for the brand/quality. The front desk staff was the absolute nicest, most accommodating, pleasant staff I have had in the longest time. The hotel itself is dated, but appears to be pretty well maintained and clean. Even the caulk on the tub was clean and maintained well. Dove brand soap and shampoo. My room had a usable balcony, which was nice, although we didn’t use it. Bed was comfortable, and there were USB ports in the lamp bases. The remote control for the tv did not have batteries or a back cover. We just used the controls on the tv. ( we were only there for a quick overnight stay)

Avoid it if you can

This hotel is in dire need of some love. It is old, tired, not as clean as it should be. If you choose to stay here, make sure your room does not have an adjoining door to another room, as it basically means sharing space with a door in between. We could hear every word that was said in the other room. We asked for another room and were made to wait until the next check-in time, then had to check out because we found a pest in our room that I will not name. Some of the front desk staff seem to get triggered when a customer is stressed by the presence of pests, and perhaps should not be in the customer service industry. Would not recommend

This is my third time staying at Ramada Inn, I always stay 2 or 3 nights with my family, I love the location, it is so convenient to access NC State Univ. And Meredith College. We have been outside very late at night and early morning and surrounding seems safe. Bedroom and Bathrooms are clean, even the ones at the common areas. Breakfast is always the same: scramble eggs, bread slices, pancakes, some times you can find muffins. Always have fresh coffee and orange juice cups. The only thing I didn't like this time is the bad smell in the hallway, so moldy, it really made me feel sick. The hotel had these big floor driers fans on the corners of the building. We had this moldy smell even in the room so bad. Borken glass in the parking lot was another thing I noticed and made me feel unsafe the first night. Crew members were just doing their great jobs, they are very respectful but not too friendly, maybe they were just tired... it would be great to get a smile and feel a welcoming environment though.
