Breakfast was $21 each so we ate elsewhere. The hotel is like a time machine back to the 1990's.

Sonesta Select Raleigh Durham Airport Morrisville
Conveniently located near RDU for our early morning flight. Unfortunately, wifi and breakfast offerings were at cost. Otherwise, an okay stay for one night.

Hyatt House Raleigh Downtown/Seaboard Station
The breakfast menu was good, but often times in the 3 days we were there, they ran out of food. Plus the coffee was often times empty. the food choices were very good, though.

Hyatt Place Raleigh-Durham Airport
The rooms appear outdated in person than in photos. Some of the outlets didn’t work. The bathroom was quite small. And worst part was the toilet did not properly flush. It ended up getting clogged and we couldn’t find anyone to help. One positive is that they offer free breakfast.
