Top North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences Hotel Reviews

The Longleaf Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We recently stayed at the Longleaf Hotel and overall had a great experience. The property is very well maintained and beautifully updated while still paying homage to the hotel's original 1950s character and charm. The rooms and common areas felt thoughtfully designed, clean, and inviting. My only real complaint was the check-in experience. The receptionist seemed overwhelmed when we arrived and came across as somewhat snippy and unpleasant. We arrived about 20 minutes before the official check-in time, and although our rooms were already ready, we were told there would be a $25 fee to check in early. Rather than pay the fee, we went out for coffee and returned at 3:00 PM. Guests should also be aware that there is a $25 per night parking fee, despite parking being in the hotel's own lot. Aside from those issues, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the unique blend of modern comfort and vintage charm that makes the Longleaf stand out."

Hampton Inn & Suites Raleigh Downtown

6/10 Okay

"The hotel was clean and neat and had a nice corner room, but it was noisy as my room faced the club across the street. The hotel does provide earplugs and a white noise machine and fellow hotels.com reviewers and the hotel itself in the lobby warn about the noise. Biggest issue that could have really ruined my entire trip was the front desk attendant who checked me in. I needed to use their parking garage across the street, and the card they gave me did not scan properly at the garage and directed me to contact the operator, so in my rental car, I had to dangerously back the car out of the single lane and into the traffic on a busy city street. When I went back to the attendant, she had a bit of an attitude, and intimated that I was in the system, but then she scanned the same card and gave the same card back to me, and then the card scanned properly across the street. When she checked me in, she was also on the phone, so I don’t know if she accidentally did not scan the card or if it’s a computer issue, but either way that could present a real problem to your guests and present a perilous situation. The front desk attendant was NOT Tianna, she was really sweet and checked me out. Your other hotel employees that I encountered were courteous at all times, and you need to investigate why that happened or you could be a contributing party to an accident. I was pissed when I saw the parking charge go through."

Residence Inn by Marriott Raleigh Downtown

8/10 Good

"Check-in was extremely easy except for the fact that if you want to park in the garage that is right next to the hotel, you have to pay $22 extra. The room was extremely spacious and comfortable, but housekeeping could have done a better job with respect to what they are suppose to do. The only good part about breakfast was the coffee, really good. the rest of the food was way below par, unless you like to eat the same cereal everyday. The onsite restaurant's were very good, limited selection, but convenient after a long day. Overall not a bad place to stay and right next door to the convention center."

The Casso, Raleigh, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is quiet and very conveniently located (20 mins walk from convention center and a stones throw from several breweries). The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are spacious and have good water pressure. The staff are very friendly and helpful. There is a.nice bar area and dining section that looked nice. The only limitations is that the rooms are small and don't come with a chair or space to work/eat. The gym is in the basement oddly located past the housekeeping work space and is relatively minimally equipped."

Raleigh Marriott City Center

10/10 Excellent

"Terrific stay for 4 nights. Great location adjacent to Convention Center as well as walkable to Red Hat Amphitheater, Performing Arts Center, restaurants, etc. Quiet room, spacious & clean, very comfortable bed & pillows. Also Caleb at the reception desk is a rock star - excellent welcome and helpful recommendations within surrounding blocks."
