Four Points by Sheraton Raleigh Arena
4.4/597 Reviews
We stayed here for two nights to take in a hockey game at the PNC Arena. You can walk to the Arena from here. Traffic cops block traffic so you can cross the street. There is a small restaurant and bar in the hotel lobby for a quick bite before the game. It serves a limited menu, including burgers, but we didn't try it out. We did have breakfast in the same restaurant the next morning, and it was pretty good. There is also a restaurant in the same parking lot called the Backyard Bistro if you would prefer. Staff here were super friendly. Obviously, this place can be busy on event nights (as it is the closest or only hotel within walking distance of the PNC arena), but we found the staff up to the task and our reservation was confirmed without incident. Our king size bed room was enormous, with a super comfy bed, and it was very quiet. Staff in the breakfast restaurant was delightful. Ample parking. Outdoor pool, not heated, and small fitness room. Laundry on the second floor and only $1 per load.
Red Roof Plus+ Raleigh Downtown - Ncsu/Conv Center

I was overall satisfied with my stay. My customer service representative Gayla did a great job checking me in‼️ She put me in one of the renovated rooms which was nice overall. Not a big fan of the style sink they chose to use, I like having more counter top space, shower pressure was excellent. I was not pleased with the fact that I had to leave a deposit and was told it’s because I used a 3rd party app to book‼️ I know this is nonsense and the real truth is for another review altogether‼️My room was on the 2nd floor and as I stepped off the elevator, was greeted with the overwhelming scent of ********* as I was also told at check in this was a 100% smoke free motel, which is the reason why I choose to stay here‼️ Here’s a thought: Maybe this hotel should do like other hotels I have stayed at and keep locals out or charge them more to sway them from renting a room in the first place then customers don’t have to deal with noise and non compliant people that ruin the experience for others‼️ This is part of the reason you ask for a deposit, to pay for the stupidity of those that steal from you and ruin your renovations to rooms that some like me actually enjoy‼️ Also, why should I be punished for saving money as I travel for my work by using 3rd party apps when locals come in to party and do things they can’t or wouldn’t do elsewhere because they have no regard to others and eventually enough bad reviews will hurt you overall then the only people left that will rent rooms are your undesirables‼️
Residence Inn Raleigh Crabtree Valley
4.4/573 Reviews
Comfortable, convenient, and priced-right, this Residence Inn is a great choice in Raleigh. While its decor is not trendy and up-to-date, the bed was very comfortable (which, I think, is more important) and our room was spacious. Better yet, it's close to the Crabtree Valley Mall, which offers a multitude of dining options. We stayed here recently, while Covid-related restrictions were still in place, and the breakfast buffet had been replaced with a pre-order system -- you must order your breakfast the night before you plan to eat it. We didn't do that, so I can't tell you how efficient the process is. But it's available. We were pleased enough with our experience that we plan to stay again. Recommend it!
Best Western Plus Raleigh Crabtree Valley Hotel

I enjoyed the pool and the A/C was very good in the room. I had a balcony that overlooked the road and shopping center. Balcony king room looks exactly as advertised. The room was quiet and the sheets and towels were clean. Appreciated the refrigerator and microwave in the room. The ceiling had an uneven plastering done, but it did not affect my stay. The balcony has a simple two chair and table set, nice to have a drink on during a warm night. However, there is not a great view as this hotel is right off the road toward the city. Breakfast ends at 9 am, I wish they would change it to 10. I did not bother to wake for breakfast the next morning so I don’t really know what they had except yogurt, coffee, and a pancake making machine. Overall was a great stay and the staff is kind.
Sheraton Raleigh Hotel
3.9/5102 Reviews
I felt the need to say a public thank you to Tenia at the check-in. My husband and I arrived earlier than the official check-in time and immediately Tenia explained that a large group had just left and housekeeping was working hard to get rooms ready. She took our luggage and pointed out the bar and lobby area where we could hang. I was exhausted from traveling early and proceeded to the nearest couch. Within 15-20 min Tenia came over and said she had a room for us because I ”looked so tired”. Thank God she did because I proceeded to get a 2 hour nap before our work dinner this evening. I know it doesn't sound like a huge deal but waiting another 4 hours would have been grueling and made dinner not nearly as enjoyable. In this day and time when customer service seems to have been shoved to the back of line and we now celebrate ”just showing up” --Tenia went over and beyond and you can tell she values her customers and her company. She is a fantastic ambassador for the Sheraton brand.
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Raleigh SW NC State
4.4/599 Reviews
Although the Holiday Inn Express is very close to the NCSU Campus and several restaurants/shopping centers, it seems very secluded (in a good way). There was no traffic noise to keep me up at night. The grounds were well-kept. The area seems very safe, and at night the parking lot and entrance areas are well-lit and the exterior doors are locked (accessible by one's room key). The lobby was beautiful. I was greeted immediately upon entering and was checked in quickly. The entire building was spotless, including the stairways (which are usually neglected). My room was immaculate, including the tub and shower. They cleaned my room daily (although most hotels have stopped daily cleaning since COVID). There was a refrigerator and microwave in the room, as well as a safe. The hot breakfast was excellent and well-stocked (a time and money-saver). The staff was very friendly and cordial, from checking in, to the morning breakfast, to checking out early in the morning (around 4:00 AM). I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone needing to stay in the Raleigh/NCSU area.
