La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Raleigh Downtown North
I’m impressed with the cleanliness of this hotel, the housekeeping staff was extremely friendly and extremely helpful, it was as if they were completely delighted to be there! I stayed on the third floor. The only thing I could complain about is the TV, most hotels I stay at have a smart TV option ...

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Raleigh-Durham Airport, NC
The staff was great. It was easy to get shuttles to & from the airport. The room was a little dated but it was nice. The pillows need replacing, my neck didn’t like them. Overall, worth the price.
