La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Raleigh Durham Intl AP
Staff was very nice - easy check in and out. Breakfast was good. Overall building is dated and not kept up - needs a renovation. Bathroom towel rack fell off the wall. Heavy mold in hallway vent. But room itself was clean and beds were comfortable.
