My choice of a hotel was very important because I knew I would have a lot of downtime in which I might be sore and miserable and the factors of comfort and quiet were extremely important. I got both comfort and quiet at the Holiday Inn Express. The floor I stayed on was non-smoking and while there were other designated floors that did allow smoking, I never once detected the odor of cigarette smoke during my stay. That was a big plus. The pillows were an assortment of "soft" and "firm" and the beds were comfortable. The room was clean and very quiet during my stay. My family members stayed with me and raved about the complimentary breakfast, citing how there was a vast selection of items to choose from, enough to suit all tastes and dietary preferences and all very delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful...very genuine and sincere. If the Holiday Inn offered specials to frequent travelers like myself (traveling because of medical issues that can be treated only in Raleigh), I would sign up right away. I've stayed at other hotels in the area before but was so very pleased with this one that I had to write a review and let others know about it. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Holiday_Inn_Express_Hotel_Suites_Raleigh-Wakefield/r590544 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Holiday_Inn_Express_Hotel_Suites_Raleigh-Wakefield/r590545 This is the nicest hotel in the area. The building is relatively new, the staff is super friendly, the rooms are very clean, and the rates are reasonable. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Holiday_Inn_Express_Hotel_Suites_Raleigh-Wakefield/r590545
