For the money this hotel is overall fine. The room was clean, the bathroom was clean, the front desk people were very nice. My only beef with this hotel is that the side entrances on the left side of the building/parking lot did not lock to the outside. There was a panel where you could stick your room key in that was supposed to unlock the door, which presumably means they should have been locked to the outside, but the two doors I used did not lock. One of them didn't even close completely. This meant that any rando from the neighborhood could have come into the building without having to go through the front lobby. This seems very unsafe. I informed two separate front desk people of this and they said they were going to get maintenance on it. That was a week ago (Sept 2025) and hopefully they fixed it by now. Assuming that is fixed this is an acceptable hotel in the fairgrounds/NC State area. I got it because I decided at the last minute to spend the night in Raleigh so I could go to the second day of an event I was there for. I didn't want to spend a lot of money and I needed something close to the fairgrounds because I was tired from traveling and not sleeping well the night before. If you just need somewhere to sleep and you're not looking for a posh experience (and they fix those doors!) this was fine.

Great walkable location to Lenovo Arena. Free parking. Hotel is dated, but clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again, especially for shows at Lenovo or for NC State games.

Fears to cheers

When i pulled up the outside of the building looked run down and i asked what did i get myself into? But my fears were put at ease when going inside. Nice clean lobby, friendly efficient check in. Room could use an air freshener, but thats just me. Room is a nice size, very clean bright. Overall a great stay!

Breakfast was good. Eggs, sausage, pancakes, ect. I like that they sell individual beers near check in if you wanted. Great idea! The price was good. The place is huge. Elevator wasn't working on one end. Great bar/ food down the street. Not the nicest place in town but worth the money.

It’s mid.

Pros: It was clean: sheets, tub, and microwave. That’s the most important thing. Staff was nice. Lobby was okay. Room was very comfortable and cooled. Cons: The AC stank. It had a musky smell. The breakfast was not good even for 2 star hotel I expected better. Only noticed elevator on 1 end of a big hotel. Vestibule carpets need a shampoo are get different flooring. It’s okay for 100 a night right next to campus. Pay $160 and get a better experience.

Not what I expected from the ratings. It seems a lot of people occupying the hotel are living there. Overall the staff was very nice, and anyone we encountered was polite. The room was adequate but the common areas and grounds are sub par.
