Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Raleigh / Cary by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Our tv did not have ESPN. Other than that, everything was great."

Homewood Suites by Hilton Raleigh Cary I-40

10/10 Excellent

"The location of this hotel is amazing. By shops and food options. This hotel was really clean for being pet friendly. The rooms did not have any smell to them at all either which is nice. The breakfast options weren’t great but I’m also more of a health conscious person with microplastics and chemicals so if you’re like that I suggest skipping on breakfast. Other than that it was great!"

Hive House

8/10 Good

"Would definitely stay again. Great location and very quiet. Rooms were perfect size with living room, kitchen and bedroom. Could use a little more lighting in the living room area. There were a few things like a gap in our door and the air filter that still needed drywall patching. Overall a good experience."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Raleigh Cary

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and friendly staff."
