Unless you like loud parties, stay away from this hotel! Had the misfortune of staying here when there were two loud parties going on. Was told by the desk they would get to the party I was complaining about after they took care of another. Score one for honesty, but they couldn't contain the party.
Hotel decor was dated, stuff looked cheap and worn. It was clean but so loud that it offset anything else. There are way too many other hotels in Raleigh, and I would suggest others, unless you are looking for loud parties, then you have found your place!
