Top Downtown Raleigh Hotel Reviews

Ramada by Wyndham Raleigh

10/10 Excellent

"Nicest welcoming staff. Lovely patio and clean. A little dated but charming and perfect! Thank you Donavon and Jocelyn!"

Microtel Inn by Wyndham Raleigh Durham Airport

8/10 Good

"Convenient location. Very easy to find. Beds were a little hard for me, but I had lumbar surgery so I like a VERY soft bed. I loved the setup of the room, super well laid out for a couple to share. Plenty of outlets. Unfortunately we got locked out of our room due to the lock malfunctioning and it took about an hour to get back into our room. While I was incredibly angry and frustrated (it was 10pm and I was exhausted) the staff was so helpful and tried their absolute hardest to get us into our room. Shout out to the maintenance man and the front desk guy who spent the whole hour helping us and ultimately got us in. We appreciate how much you cared and worked to help us go to bed. They said we would get some points (haven’t seen those yet, but I know that can take time). The staff in this hotel is seriously the best. Highly recommend them. Everything was clean, room was clean and spotless and common areas were clean. Air/heat worked great."

The Longleaf Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is quiet, with comfortable beds and easily adjustable temperature. it has an inner and outer window shade for privacy, which works very well. The decor is quirky and modernistic, which fits the overall theme, and the location is perfect; no need to drive to where I was headed. I stayed here last year, and I plan to return the next time I come to Raleigh."

Sonesta Select Raleigh Durham Airport Morrisville

8/10 Good

"The reviews about smells are accurate....there are some weird smells in elevator. Nothing crazy or bad enough to make your regret life choices. There are no smells in the room. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. No doubt this will be our place to stay when we come to Raleigh."
