Top North Carolina State University Hotel Reviews

Residence Inn by Marriott Raleigh Downtown

8/10 Good

"Nice place but pricey for what you get"

Hyatt House Raleigh Downtown/Seaboard Station

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful and clean room: the restaurant on the 7th floor was a plus!!! Beautiful view from room, enjoyed my stay!!"

Ramada by Wyndham Raleigh

10/10 Excellent

"Nicest welcoming staff. Lovely patio and clean. A little dated but charming and perfect! Thank you Donavon and Jocelyn!"

Sheraton Raleigh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I loved everything about this hotel from the staff at the front desk to the staff in the restaurant was amazing everyone was so respectful and friendly my stay was amazing and I would definitely stay here again"

Hampton Inn & Suites Raleigh Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was good"

The StateView Hotel, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"The surroundings were secluded and peaceful but the hotel was close to shopping and other attractions. The interior, breakfast, ping pong, exercise room. We'll be back soon just for the peace of it."

AC Hotel by Marriott Raleigh Downtown

8/10 Good

"My stay was okay overall, but there were several service issues. When I arrived at the hotel, the front desk staff had difficulty finding my reservation, and it took quite a while to resolve. Eventually, I was given cards for complimentary breakfast the following morning for both myself and the person I was traveling with, as I had booked two rooms. The following day, by 2:00 PM, my room still had not been cleaned. I had to call housekeeping to request that my room be serviced. I feel that daily room cleaning should be provided without guests having to call and request it. After my room was cleaned, I noticed that housekeeping had not left soap in my bathroom. I called Guest Services, but after waiting for more than an hour, nothing was done. I had to call again before someone finally came to bring the soap. I also noticed that the other room I had booked had items provided that were not left in my room, such as shoe-care items and cotton swabs. I would expect the same basic amenities to be provided consistently in both rooms. Overall, there were several avoidable service issues during my stay. I hope the hotel improves its housekeeping and front-desk service."
