Top Raleigh Hotel Reviews

Sonesta Select Raleigh Durham Airport Morrisville

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone at the front desk that we spoke to were the most helpful and very polite."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Raleigh Crabtree

6/10 Okay

"Overall okay place to stay. If you are a clean freak you may struggle a little with smudges on the walls and light switches, and crumbs around the communal areas of the lobby for happy hour. For a little context the room I stayed in had a fair amount of wear from use, the shower didn't fully switch from the tub spout to the shower head, the desk table had sticky residue on it and there were some maybe beverage stains on the carpet so I kept my shoes on and showered fast. But otherwise all of what you may need for a restful night and efficient morning were provided. like most places there are areas that could be improved but not a bad start. Additionally I was commuting to another embassy for a conference and was able to use the same parking pass during the day. so that was a nice perk that the staff was quickly able to sort out for me."
