About this place Aloft by Marriott Raleigh

Aloft Raleigh is a mainstream Marriott-brand hotel on Hillsborough Street, across from the North Carolina State University campus. It is listed as gay-friendly, not as a gay venue. Rooms and suites follow the Aloft format: bright, compact, design-led. There is an outdoor pool, a gym and the brand's bar and eatery in the lobby, which gets busy on game weekends and university events. Downtown Raleigh is about two miles east, a short drive or ride-hail. Google reviewers rate it 4.5 from close to 1,000 reviews. Book well ahead for NC State graduation and football weekends.

We recently had to travel from the DMV area to Raleigh, North Carolina, for a funeral, and by the time we arrived at the Aloft Hotel, it had been a very long and emotional day. From the moment we checked in, Mada truly made all the difference. She was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and professional. She took the time to make sure we had everything we needed and welcomed us with such warmth and care that we immediately felt at home. During a time when our family was carrying so much grief, her compassion and genuine concern meant more than she could possibly know. Mada’s customer service was exceptional, but more than that, her kindness stood out. She has a gift for making people feel seen and cared for. I sincerely hope everyone who stays at the Aloft Hotel has the opportunity to experience her hospitality, professionalism, and expertise. Thank you, Mada, for making a difficult trip a little easier. We will never forget your kindness.We recently had to travel from the DMV area to Raleigh, North Carolina, for a funeral, and by the time we arrived at the Aloft Hotel, it had been a very long and emotional day.

Great location. A couple issues with room and took a little longer to get addressed. Claimed shift change but that should be done quicker and not hours to wait. Place was nice, good location and vibe.

We stayed here because of a state test being held at the school, and the location couldn’t have been more perfect. We had a corner roomer overlooking the intersection and park on the campus side of the building and the view and windows were awesome. We brought our furry friend with us and she had a blast and was welcomed by all the staff and guests. The restaurant downstairs, Lobera, was delicious and we were able to pick it up at the front counter and bring it up to our room. Next time we are in Raleigh we will certainly consider staying here again should our business be close by, and we will for sure be asking for a corner room if possible!

Sleep quality was poor. The beds weren’t comfortable, and the AC blows directly onto the bed.
