I stayed here for three nights in October. I chose this hotel because it's within walking distance to the RBC Center, where the 'Canes play. (NC State football stadium is right there, too.) The hotel is very clean. The staff is very friendly. The complimentary breakfast was a plus. Choice Hotels was running a 4X points promo at the time which was nice. Adjacent Backyard Bistro is a good choice for lunch or dinner.

Nothing special about this property. The room that I stayed in was large and had a small kitchenette area with sink, table, refrigerator, coffee maker and microwave. Television was older 25" model. HBO went out on the second day of my four days in the hotel. I asked about it but it didn't get fixed and there was no explanation. My room key stopped working at noon everyday, so I had to get it reset everyday, which was a little inconvenient. I used the workout facility everyday. The equipment was lower-quality and a bit dated, but functional. Breakfast was the usual Comfort Suites fare, which is decent. Rooms were not the cleanest that I've seen and could use some updating, but they weren't terrible. The best part about it was the Backyard Bistro Restaurant only a few hundred feet away.

Can't say too much due to legal reasons but the above says it all!!
They kicked me my family and my PSA dogs out in the middle of hurricane irene. I was yelled at cursed at and had the cops called on me because I asked for something in writing. Never again! Wrong and horrible people.

This hotel is very convenient to the arena and fairgrounds. Very nice hotel. Clean and looks newer that it actually is.
