Fairly decent place. Good location near the freeway and not far from the Crabtree Valley Mall. Good value-for-money kind of a place. Rooms are quite nice.

had a business meeting in Raleigh and stayed at this venue. I requested a non smoking room for the overnight stay. When I opened the door to my room there was a strong scent of cigarette smoke. It was horrible. I went to the front desk clerk to indicate they made a mistake and had given me a smoking room. They assured me it was a non smoking room. Due to the scent I requested another room but was told there were no other "non smoking" rooms. The desk manager suggested spraying the room and he did. Quite honestly the spray did not help. What irritated me even more is that I laid my clothes out for the morning meeting and apparently my clothes absorbed the scent and wreaked of cigarette smoke. Days later my outer jacket still has the smell in it. It was totally disgusting.

Additionally my bed felt like I was sleeping on a bed of bricks. I was totally exhausted in the meeting because of the lack of sleep. I wish I had chosen a different hotel.

In town on a family matter and spent two nights at this hotel. Smallest, most cramped hotel room we have ever seen...like a walk-in closet with a bed thrown in. We were on the 1st floor, and don't know if rooms were larger on 2nd or 3rd floors. Tiny tv - 13" sounds about right. Hairdryers and coffee pots no longer standard in the room. Very cramped sink/bath area. Housekeeping chintzed on the bath soap and shampoo vials. Front counter/lobby help was uninformative and detached. Complimentary breakfast was 98% carbohydrates. King bed was fairly comfortable, so it was easy to return to sleep after the intermittent false fire alarms, which by the way, the staff had no idea how to handle.

Did not expect a 5-star stay, but have had much better for $55/night.
