This hotel has more than one building, and I assume they do not use the building in the very back. I would be scared to stay in it. The front building we stayed it had interior doors, but some didn't. the parking was scary in itself bc other than the handful of spaces on the Capital Blvd side, you park behind the building. It's dark and deserted back there. I would NOT park back there no matter what.... the front staff guy was so nice, but he was also the maintenance man...poor guy. We had to wait 10 minutes in the lobby to be able to check in bc he was fixing a door on the 2nd floor. The hotel is VERY dated and worn. The first thing I do is check for bedbugs, and we were in the clear, but I was still hesitant about staying.... there were shady characters staying in teh back of the front building. The room had OLD furniture that appeared dirty, the AC/heater was falling apart, the water pressure was AWFUL, but on the bright side, the bed was comfortable though the pillows need replacing. I could not believe this was a CHOICE hotels, and now makes me doubt what that means exactly. If you are looking to stay for cheap, close to Capital, this is the place, however, if you want safe and comfortable, it's not. Also, they rooms have your cups/coffee maker/ice bucket in the bathroom, near the toilet, HOW GROSS. The cups are not even wrapped. I have many pics, but you can't tell much...the walls were dirty, needing repair, shower was dingy, toilet runs, my new Nike socks were ruined after walking on the carpet during the stay......

This hotel is proof that you can offer great service in a clean, modern and convenient location all at a great value. The staff was friendly and welcoming throughout our visit. Our room was clean, modern and well-maintained

Has got to be the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The staff was alright but that is about the only thing that I don't have a complaint about. I stayed for five days on the second floor which has "no smoking" signs on every door, but the place had a heavy smoke smell as soon as I got off the elevator. Heavy smell of smoke in the room. This was attempted to be masked by some sickening deodorant. Wanted to leave but the room was booked by my companies credit card before I arrived, was stuck. The exercise room had only one operational piece of equipment, which was a treadmill but if you raised the incline you could not lower it again. I had a "suite" which did have two separate rooms, which looked like something out of the sixties, plastic furniture, dirty carpets and my sheets also had a couple
cigarette burns on them. People staying here should definitely ask for a room not facing Capitol Blvd. as emergency vehicle sirens will keep you up ALL night. This area has gone down hill since the last time I stayed in Raleigh. First two nights police vehicles were present a couple of times. They were parked, with officers out. Full continental breakfast was stale bagels, frozen sausage biscuits that you heat up in the microwave and pastries. The orange juice was alright. Oh yeah, and a waffle maker. The best part of my stay was Friday when I got to leave. The staff was friendly, no quarrels with them as its not their fault. Stay at the Hilton or on that side of town. All the people that I was attending class with stayed there or on that side of town and were all pleased with their lodging.

I stay here every other month when im in the area.Always a pleasant experience.I highly recommend this hotel.
