DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Crabtree Valley

8/10 Good

"Room was nice but stayed in the A"

Raleigh Marriott Crabtree Valley

8/10 Good

"The hotel was very clean and honestly beautiful! Our room wasn't ready when we arrived around 3:45 pm and we were told we would receive a call when it was ready but we never did. By the time we got back from our concert though, we were able to check in just fine and they comp'd our breakfast the next morning, which a lovely touch."

"We loved our stay, we were in Raleigh for a week and it was in the middle of all the places we wanted to go, there’s multiple shops and dining places close enough to walk. The rooms were comfortable and very clean, our room was so humid it was leaving condensation on everything and making the floors slippery but maintenance very quickly brought us a dehumidifier when we brought it to their attention and that fixed the problem. The breakfast was pretty great for a free hotel breakfast and the staff was amazing, they were all kind and helpful, the housekeepers cleaned our room everyday and they had 24/7 coffee available which was awesome! The parking can be a little hard on the weekends but that’s to be expected. Overall we loved it and will be using BW+ as our hotel everytime we visit from here on out!"

21c Museum Hotel Durham

8/10 Good

"Unique hotel. You use the elevator to go up to the check in desk on the museum floor. Tip park your own car in the parking garage to save money. I opened up the shades from the two big windows and a 5' metal canopy part fell and hit my head. Not great first impression. I was surprised the king suite was smaller then expected. The fridge is very tiny & no freezer. The bed is on a very short platform. Didn't like that at all. Mattress and bedding was comfortable. The shower was strong. But the bathroom had zero A/C and was hot. They did have robes in the room which was a high class touch. I wanted the room service breakfast package but thru Expedia it didn't give the option & the check in desk didn't let me add it. We made a reservation at the restaurant in the hotel and it was ok. It was practically empty and yet they sat us at a teeny tiny table in front of the kitchen. Small menu big price tag. 5 chicken wings $15 they were good but not that good. We walked to DPAC to see the play just a short walk. Not sure we will rebook next play night."
