8/10 Good

"the shower control was very difficult to operate....takes a lot strength to turn! Room 202"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Raleigh Durham Intl AP

8/10 Good

"The highlight of this property is the friendly service and attentiveness of the staff. Shuttle to the airport was great. The property is a bit dated and in need of a spruce up, but that has been an almost universal observation of hotels since the pandemic. thanks for everything!"

DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Raleigh - Durham

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was both friendly and attentive.I had a question that I had to talk to the evening manager about , and he did a great job with making sure I had a full understanding of my question. We had a great overall stay in experience and look forward to staying again in the near future."
