I honestly cannot think of anything that I did not like at this hotel during my stay. Front desk was great and friendly checking in and out, room and bathroom were great, clean, quiet, wand very comfortable. Location was great as well, very reasonable distance from everything I wanted to do and restaurants. Will absolutely stay here again whenever I come back to Raleigh.

I stayed here for an event. Getting an Uber to and from was easy enough, but the issue here was missing the turn onto the road to the hotel. If you missed it, you had to make 2 U-turns. Even the Uber drivers missed it! That was really what made it inconvenient. The beds were a bit springy. The room was clean, and the air conditioner kept the room very cool. The staff kindly allowed us to extend our stay by one night and stay in the same room. Overall, it was a good, affordable option to stay here.

Pro: Price was great, was walking distance to the hotel our team was staying at so that was convenient. Con: bed was wore out, you could feel & hear every spring when you moved, the bathroom was cobbled together shower handle turned in a complete circle, had to guess where hot started and ended. Noisy neighbors, not their fault but my room neighbors were loud.

No frills

No frills... no free breakfast though McDonalds is nearby, no fridge or microwave in room. But 24 hour tea & coffee available. The king size bed squeaked like a cheap hotel so not too comfortable. We did get this room for less than other hotels due to my hotel rewards & for it being mothers day weekend. Could have paid $10 more a night for fridge but we were being frugal. 😆

I waited last minute to book a one night stay for a comedy show in town and this place was so convenient. The room was clean, non-smoking, the bathroom was clean, very nice staff, easily accessible. Definitely a convenient location; gas stations and fast food chains were within 5-10 minutes of it. I felt very safe; even when I came back around 2a from the night out. You can’t beat that for $90!

Every thing was fine. One annoying thing. Front desk guy handed me my room key. Tells me it's upstairs. Watched me walk to the elevator. I can't find the room on the 2nd floor. I come back down and tell him so and he tells me I'm in the wrong building and to go next door. Why didn't he tell me that when he handed me the key? Why didn't he stop me from getting in the wrong elevator? Really annoying.
