La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Raleigh Durham Intl AP
Room was clean and staff were fantastic. 2 complaints tho. 1 rust in the bathtub was unsightly and can be somewhat cleaned. There was smell of weed/marijuana at the entrance but it seemed more outside than inside and I suspect it was a guest not staff. Beds and room were clean and nice. Breakfast ...

DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Crabtree Valley
Phenomenal staff! The room was super clean. The elevators are a little on the slow side. The parking lot is not large enough to accommodate the hotel when it is at full capacity.
