Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Best hotel I've ever stayed at - and that's saying a lot. My wife and I enjoyed our one-night stay so much that we plan to make it an annual event - and for more than one night. Our only misgiving was that we went into Raleigh for some sightseeing. We should have just stayed at the hotel and enjoyed ourselves. A real treat!

Beautiful hotel. Spacious rooms and bathrooms. Beautiful patio overlooking the pond for dining. Nice .33 mile walking path around the pond. Water filter stations available to get water. Pleasant surprise. I would stay here again. Even with Friday traffic it only took us 15 -20 minutes to get to PNC arena for a hockey game.
