Top Raleigh Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn Raleigh Midtown

8/10 Good

"Pool inoperable. Iron inoperable."

Wingate by Wyndham Raleigh Durham Airport RTP

6/10 Okay

"The room was old with a musty smell, there were stains on the carpet and furniture. The ac unit was missing pieces and looked filthy. I booked this place for the airport shuttle but was not able to use because it wasn’t available at the time I needed it. The breakfast had very little options. On the plus side the bed was very comfortable and pillows were good."
