La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Raleigh Downtown North

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome Thank You "

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Raleigh Durham Intl AP

10/10 Excellent

"I really have no complaints regarding this Hotel. I thought a few areas in the room could have been cleaner / updated. A little rust here and there and dust under the sink in the corner. However, staff was awesome and friendly. Breakfast was fantastic. Everything was nice and quiet for the most part."

Hyatt Place Raleigh/Cary

10/10 Excellent

"The Hyatt was good. The first night we were there we had a room on the 3rd floor rooftop out the window and when we started to go to sleep we noticed a hugh noise outside like a compressor running. Didn't think we'd sleep so Manager came up and moved us to the 5th floor. Great attitude no problem at all. Breakfast was also good lots of choices."
