Top Raleigh Hotel Reviews

Raleigh Marriott Crabtree Valley

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was amazing. I like how the hotel is more secluded and the pool and room were amazing. I love how it’s right across from the mall as well. Only thing is I was worried about the fridge not being cold enough because I know some hotels are like that but ours was actually TOO cold and froze everything. Other than that I love this hotel and will definitely be staying again."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Raleigh Downtown North

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very friendly. The whole hotel was clean and well maintained. The breakfast area was small but well stocked with a variety of items. The staff replenished the food as needed. The room was clean, beds were comfortable and the water in the shower was hot."
