    thin walls
    strange smell

    I had a nice time during our family stay. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast area was crowded, but the food was replenished quickly. We met in a spacious room each evening after our activities, and I appreciated the housekeeping staff for accommodating my request for extra coffee.

    The walls were thin. I could hear conversations in the hallway. On the first night, there was a strange smell that was noticeable.

    comfy king bed
    hot breakfast
    thin walls

    I loved the comfy king bed in the spacious room and the hot breakfast with real bacon, which was such a treat! The hotel also had a nice indoor pool and a cozy leisure room to unwind in after a long day. Just a heads up, the walls were a bit thin, so you might hear some hallway chatter, but it didn’t ruin my stay! 😊

    Ideal for families looking for a clean stay

    The staff was really friendly and even changed our bed comforter right away when it had an off smell, now that’s service. Plus, the breakfast choices were great! We were happy to see real bacon on the table, made my mornings much better.

    Not the cheapest option out there but still decent for the quality.

    It was just a nice choice for a couple of nights in Raleigh with reasonable price. The staff even handed us towels when we got caught in the rain, which was really nice. Make sure to enjoy the breakfast. it's well-stocked and the staff is super friendly.

    lack of children's activities

    Our family loved the spacious room, which made it easy for all five of us to relax. Breakfast had a great variety too!

    My kids wished there were more activities for younger guests.

    Overall, the hotel offered a pleasant stay with friendly staff and a clean environment. Breakfast had great choices, including excellent cinnamon rolls. However, the indoor pool was closed during our visit, which was disappointing, and occasionally noise from other guests was bothersome at night.

    good breakfast
    odor problem
    communication issue
    alarm disturbance

    Rooms are generally nice, with a good selection of complimentary Dove toiletries in the shower. The continental breakfast offered a pleasant variety with warm items each morning. However, an unexpected fire alarm at 3 am disrupted my sleep, and the lack of communication about it was frustrating. Additionally, a previous room had an unpleasant odor, but the staff quickly resolved the situation by providing a room change.

    The location close to NCSU made it easy for my trip. The lobby area looked inviting, bright, and easy to navigate. The staff greeted me warmly and were attentive throughout my stay. The room I stayed in was clean, and I appreciated having a mini fridge and microwave handy. However, I noticed the elevator access could use improvement, making it a bit tricky during peak times. The breakfast area tended to get crowded, but the staff kept everything stocked efficiently. I did find my room a little dim, especially the bathroom lighting. maybe they could update that. Overall, a pleasant stay with room for some minor improvements.
