Top Northwest Raleigh Hotel Reviews

The Umstead Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"N"

Raleigh Marriott Crabtree Valley

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location to walk to Crabtree Mall or to get to the 540, 440, 40, RTP, Briercreek. The room & bathroom were clean, as was the entire hotel. We didn’t use the pool, gym, bar or restaurant. Parking was convenient and very short walk into the hotel. The only issue we had was the attitude of the Receptionist (Sarah), she was not welcoming & had no professional grace. A sad start but we didn’t interact with her again."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Raleigh Durham Intl AP

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very nice and helpful especially Kristian. We enjoy breakfast as well as the condition and upkeep of our room was very nice parking was good and easy overall it was a 10 out of 10 stay I recommend to anyone but don't get this location confused with the other location because the other location had very bad reviews and we almost didn't stay there because we got the two confused."
