Top Southwest Raleigh Hotel Reviews

Hilton Raleigh North Hills

6/10 Okay

"Room was clean and spacious. But the two tvs did not have enough channels. The receptionist at the night was not very helpful and nice. From the room were missing stuff like freezer and microwave. Also some information about the stay and parking were confusing and unexplained at the time."

Hyatt House Raleigh Downtown/Seaboard Station

8/10 Good

"The location is absolutely perfect. It’s in the heart of downtown close to all the best restaurants and things to do. The staff were all very friendly, personable and attentive. The ambience was nice and the High Rail rooftop bar/restaurant was fantastic."

Comfort Inn Raleigh Midtown

8/10 Good

"The property is aging and the rooms are small. The price is inflated due to the area in which the property is located. Amenities are scarce: breakfast, coffee in the lobby and a “fitness center” with one working elyptical, a broken treadmill and free weights are the only amenities. There are poorly worded signs taped awkwardly around the property informing guests not to enter clearly marked employee areas, reminding them they’re on camera, asking them to wear clothes in the lobby, etc… My room had toilet paper stuffed in the spaces between the pipes and the wall in the bathroom, mold on the wall paper, torn carpet, and there were hairs on my bed linens. I understand this is a comfort inn, but the price is not in line with what’s offered. The housekeeping staff were the only ones that were cordial. They at least smiled and acknowledged guests when they interacted with them."

Quality Inn & Suites Apex - Holly Springs

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was amazing, especially for the price. I wish it had a pool, but ya just can't have everything! The rooms are spacious, clean and well-maintained. Anything we needed was taken care of right away. I am recovering from six broken ribs, and we were here for five days, so I tried to use the exercise room, but the only machine I could use was broken. Otherwise, the beds are super comfortable, and I've actually never slept on sheets that were that smooth and silky! Breakfast was good, but didn't have a super lot of options--waffles, cereal, yogurt, breads and fruit. We would stay here again in a heartbeat, and probably will!"
