Staff was very courteous. However, I booked this hotel because it was a PLUS hotel. There wasn't any breakfast as advertised on the website and there was an odd smell, almost like a vape or pot, throughout the hallways, even though it was a non-smoking hotel. While we were there, the toilet broke - clean water from the tank was all over the floor. The staff fixed it quickly and offered to move us to another room. I was attending an event at the Raleigh Conference Center, so I wasn't spending much time in the room. I don't think I will return.

The rooms were clean. The lobby always smelled fresh and clean. The staff was lacking in ability to answer any questions. And that was if you could find them. There were absolutely no amenities. We were told that there would be coffee and tea beginning at 6 AM in the lobby, but there was never any tea. we had to ask for sugar cups. The area has certainly gone downhill in the past two years. We were supposed to be-there for a week and had three incidents where the police and ambulance had to be called because of drunk, disorderly, high strung out clientele in four days so we left early.

The hotel was in a great location close to all the great spots like the Raleigh food hall, raising Cane's, there were a lot of bars and activities but the hotel itself wasn't great... For what I paid I wasn't expecting much but it was very dirty it seemed like nobody had cleaned after the last guest because there were food wrappers all over the floor and trash under the bed the lamps looked like they hadn't been dusted or cleaned in years there were burn holes in the bedsheets dirt all over the tables and surfaces and dust all over the popcorn ceiling. The shower was very dirty we couldn't even use it because of how dirty it was on the upside the sink and the toilet looked very clean but we also had a broken window and there was a cold breeze flowing in the entire night. In conclusion it was okay just wish it was more clean because i had a 10 month old staying with me
