Stayed overnight at the Longleaf and loved it. The rooms are immaculately clean. Kudos to housekeeping. The beds and linens so comfy. Love the retro style. The lounge is cozy with nice cocktails, and we loved the patio to enjoy drinks and coffee outside. Lauren at the front desk was very helpful and welcoming. Front desk Manager Anna was also so helpful and pleasant. The bar staff were attentive and friendly. Parking a plus. Regina from NY will be back.

Very cute, retro stay! I don’t even want to call it a hotel because it felt so homey. We only stayed for a quick overnight on the go stay and I wish we had more time to enjoy the property. Check in was great. Room was very clean and quaint. Bed was so comfy! They had complementary, very good, coffee in the morning but an espresso bar if you wanted more. Would definitely recommend to stay again!

Fantastic location. Incredibly helpful and lovely staff. Clean room and surrounding areas. All around a great experience! For those curious about noise, the bar shuts down at midnight and asks all guests to leave the premises out of respect for those residing above the bar. My room was located on the opposite side, across from a busy intersection. Apart from some traffic noise here and there, it was quiet! Had no issues sleeping.

A delightful surprise in downtown Raleigh!

The only reason I gave less than 5 stars for condition is that the hotel is a bit dated. This did not affect my stay at all. The staff was professional and very friendly, the bar was well-stocked, and the morning coffee was very good. This hotel is a real bargain. We walked to the capitol building, several museums, and an exceptional Japanese restaurant. The hotel was easy to get to from the interstate.
