10/10 Excellent

Aloft by Marriott Raleigh

Aloft by Marriott Raleigh

6/10 Okay

"The location was amazing as far as being able to walk to events and grab something to eat. The problem was people walking by very noisily all hours of the night, as well as, trash trucks and vehicles. While the air conditioning was very cooling it was so loud it kept waking me up and eventually I had to turn it off to sleep."

Residence Inn by Marriott Raleigh Downtown

Residence Inn by Marriott Raleigh Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was very good. Had some surprisingly good scrambled. Eggs. Can’t eat fried foods so that did limit my choices. However they had oatmeal with many choices of add ins, including a wonderful peach compote freshly made by the chief. They had many other choices including assorted fresh fruit and yogurt. They change the menus each day. The little cafe off the lobby has a nice selection of coffees and beverages, light meals and snacks. The room seems to be more spacious than a regular hotel. We really used the kitchen for the refrigerator and microwave. All of the staff was polite, patient, helpful and when out of their way to help you."

Hampton Inn & Suites Raleigh Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are so so nice and helpfu.l.They each went above and beyond. They were also so friendly. The hotel is in a great location. So many restaurants and bars in walking distance. The pool was closed when we were there and each day we asked if the firepit could be put on and no one could do it which was a big bummer. We were hoping to enjoy wine out on the patio area (which is really cute!). Overall we were very happy with our stay and the hotel for the price."
