About the venue

“A very nice hotel in the heart of Raleigh. Self-parking on premises is a big plus and convenience for a downtown hotel. The personnel is friendly and professional. Rooms are reasonably priced. We had an overall very good experience.” — DM UC, Google
“Really enjoyed my stay here over Memorial Day weekend. The beds were comfortable, rooms clean and cute, and the hotel is in walking distance of the downtown area.” — Billie Liao, Google
