I stayed at the EconoLodge Raleigh on a weekday night after attending a nearby concert. I arrived late and there was a drunken man near the lobby who approached me. I was not impressed with him or the receptionist, both of whom were sloppy individuals. The interior hallway on the third floor was not air conditioned and the room was stifling hot. The AC ran all night to cool the room. While the room itself was satisfactory, I was not impressed with the exterior appearance of the hotel or the dirty elevator. The pool was closed on the day before summer. Breakfast was awful, with weak, bitter coffee and stale waffles. Even though I had stayed for free due to reward night redemption, I did not enjoy the visit and did not sleep well. I would encourage travelers to try the Sleep Inn instead, a brand I have stayed at before but not in the Raleigh area. Good Luck!
