Top hotels in University Park
Hilton Raleigh North Hills
The room was already paid for by my father but I was charged for the room again. There was an additional $90 charged to my card on top of the incidental fee of $75, despite me explaining that the room was paid for. This is unacceptable at a Hilton.

Need to have complimentary breakfast. Room was clean & bed was comfy. Front desk staff was polite, helpful and courteous. Pool was not open yet. Hall way carpet needs to be deep cleaned or replaced.

DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Crabtree Valley
A bit dated but clean. Super friendly staff. Decent fitness center. Quieter than hotels inside the beltline and since it's close to the highway only like a 10-minute drive from downtown.
