Ramada by Wyndham Raleigh

The pool area was beautiful!

Los pasillos tenían muy mal olor

Replace the carpet, throughout.

Clean room, helpful staff

convenient location for what we needed but there’s not much around otherwise. property is very dated.

The hotel is an older hotel, with 1980s/1990s decor, which is not a problem for us as long as it is clean and safe. There is undoubtedly a systemic mold problem in the hotel. All registers were black with dust (and probably positive for mold spores). I suffer with allergies and woke up both mornings with a horrible headache, head congestion and coughing. The outside pool area was the highlight of the stay. It is unfortunate that the hotel is not better kept - it has a very unique and welcoming layout with the courtyard/pool area and spacious balconies. Breakfast was okay, not too many healthy options, but hot complimentary breakfasts are hard to come by these days, so that was nice. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone that suffers allergies or has a concern with exposure to mold.

Everything was good except for we opted for extended checkout time which meant we weren't supposed to check out till 1:00 p.m. and at 5 minutes after 11:00 one of the staff came in and asked if we were checking out today. She didn't even knock on the door she just used her key and came in. The staff needs to be made aware if a room is getting extended check out.

Older hotel but everything

Great place to stay if you’re going to a Canes game

Location Wasn't there long enough

The location. The property looks run down and needs a face lift.

Really needs an up date. The outside is getting out of hand. Seems like every stay, nothing has been done to improve it. The rooms are fine. Please do something about the outside areas.

Good

Very good

Superb

Staff, bar at night, breakfast Stairs nightmare. I will definitely ask for a first floor room next year.

Exceptional

The location is perfect for the Lenovo Center! Front desk associate the evening of our stay was very nice and got us an extra blanket. Showing age. Carpet looked dirty. The “do not disturb” sign was on the door and we still got a knock before 9am. No where close to check out! We didn’t need the wake up call!

Necesita remodelación y limpieza. Había mucho olor a humedad.

Everything was on point the breakfast wasnt the best but everything else was excellent.

Exceptional

Location , Safety

It was so comfortable staying there

Friendly staff, good buffet breakfast, comfy beds

The staff was amazing, the only reason why I would not rate this facility any lower. Outside of their hotel is old and rundown. The entrance and pool looked comfy and clean. But outside of that, the rest of the hotel was poor. Hallways smelled like cigarettes and mold. The lighting, paint, and carpet were all old and just looked dirty. Rooms were the same as the hallways. My sheets had rust stains. The bathrooms are very old and outdated, and they just looked dirty overall. I would not stay there again. Everything outside of the staff needs work. The hotel does not match up with how great the staff was. Even the locks on the doors were not working properly. One of my staff members mentioned someone tried to break into their room, and their door latch was barely hanging by a thread.

We stayed one night for a Hurricanes game, and this place was exactly what I expected. We didn't really use the amenities, but the front desk staff were helpful, and our room was clean. We walked to the arena (about a mile away). Parking at the hotel was no problem and the breakfast was good (hot food included). TV in our room was kinda small, but we didn't really use it. I suggest bringing your own pillow (ours were very thick).

The location It wasn’t cleaned very good

The staff was friendly. The rooms were clean and it was close to the Lenovo center almost within walking distance. A great experience. It would be great if they provided a full meal dinner type restaurant. Otherwise breakfast cannot be Beat. Best I’ve had.

Everything was great. The hotel itself is outdated.

THE MAIN DOORS WERE ALWAYS UNSECURE

The staff was super helpful at check-in, We had our small dog with us and they were able to accommodate us with a room on the courtyard. This was a lifesaver, as we were easily able to let her in and out to do her business through the sliding glass doors in our room. Pro Tip: Call the property to ensure you get such a room, as messaging them via Expedia DOES NOT get to them (which they also reiterated when we checked-in) Breakfast is included but we did not wake up for it so I can't give any feedback there. There is not much around though in terms of restaurants/bars, so take advantage of the functional ice machine in the hallway, and the cold mini fridge in your room, and stock up. While the carpet is a bit worn, and the bed springs as well, for a one event night event at Lenovo, it was perfect.

THE STAFF WAS GREAT. THE MAIN DOORS WERE ALWAYS UNSECURE

The hotel was in the location I needed, very close to NCSU, with easy access and in a safe area. The room was clean and comfortable, and overall the stay was decent. The hotel felt quite old-fashioned, with carpet everywhere and an unpleasant smell. Although breakfast was included, the food was not fresh, there was very little choice, and the quality was poor.

Lean room

Great stay if you're attending a Lenovo Center event. Short walk to venue. Nice pool and gazebo in the inner court.

Very good

The room was spacious but the bed was lumpy and squeaky, the pillows were mush, the toilet was wobbly, the shower didnt drain well ant there was mold/mildew in the shower

Okay hotel. Okay breakfast. Good value but don’t expect too much.

Good breakfast, nice pool, super helpful staff, great area.

The hallways and room smelled like a combination of cigarettes and BO. The stench in the room made me feel dirty.

Breakfast was basic, rooms are dated but clean

Staff was nice and helpful. Room was clean

The staff here are always very friendly and helpful!

The room looked decently clean but the smell was terrible. Maybe carpet is too old/ dirty/ wet? I don't know but it was so bad that we had to open the balcony door mostly all the time. The common areas were very clean. Staff was professional. Breakfast options are the same since two years ago (scrambled eggs, pancakes, bread/ bagel slices, sausage, orange juice and coffee, i saw a couple of cereal options. All my family and friends always stay at Ramada because the location is convenient to get to Meredith College and NC State Univ. Parking lot is big enough. Safe place to stay with the family.

Breakfast was fine, did not use bar

Good room

This is a fantastic location for events at Carter-Finley Stadium, Lenovo Center and the NC state Fairgrounds. Buffet breakfast was good and had hot and cold options. Has a great enclosed pool and gazebo courtyard area. Staff was friendly and helpful. Overall very good experience.

Very good

Good breakfast buffet. Room needed to be deodorized. Front desk staff was very responsive.

Maitain the grounds a little better. Have coffee in the lobby 24 hrs. The property is older but has fresh paint and is clean! The toilet was the smallest I have ever seen.

The overall stay was amazing cleaning top tier highly recommend

The breakfast staff were wonderful. The front desk staff were incrediably helpful.

This hotel was not great! The inside of hallways smelled like pot, our shower was not great .. the part you pull to go to shower from tub was loose from wall, shower literally trickled until I got fed up and was ready to get out then it only got a little better and made me angry .. the bed was good but the pillows were so small and squared that I had to use all ones on the bed! A cute balcony off room but no chairs.. place seems dated.. elevator looks beaten up.. just glad it was only one night

breakfast was ok. The bar was not open, we would have enjoyed a drink.

This is where my family and I stay when we come into town. Staff, room etc. Thumbs up!

Experience was good for why I booked the room

Everything was great. Friendly staff. Very clean

N/a

I really liked the room overall. It was nice for one person. The breakfast was just okay. There could’ve been more options. I also wish the workout room was better stocked. Plus the pool was closed so that sucked. Still, the stay was nice.

We were in Raleigh visiting family and did not spend much time at the hotel, only ate breakfast here once out of the 3 days we were here. The hotel is very well kept and offers a lot for travelers. The breakfast offered a lot of options, was hot and plentiful. The only downside was people smoking at entrances and a noisy kid playing in the hall.

Really comfortable and close to everything

Hotel was good

Nice quiet place. Close to the Arena

I was attending a couple of hockey games at the Lenovo Centre. Can't beat the location. 20 min walk. I loved the patio I had in the courtyard with the gazebo and pool.

The TV was frustrating....had no channel list. The only option was to go up or down on the remote. Called the front desk for help. The clerk tried to help but needed a channel list!

That Continental OJ slaps hard

Room was musty. And ended up having ants

If you’re going to an event at Lenovo Center it’s a great place to stay. 10-15 minute walk

The room was very clean, staff was very nice and had a decent breakfast. There were no ice machines for the rooms. The hotel elevators are not located in a decent location and are sketchy. The hall smelled of marijuana (not the hotels fault).

It was a great trip and a good nights sleep. Had issue with getting shower to come on but staff said certain way it had to be turned to come on. A small sign explaining would be helpful instead of bothering staff.

Probably wouldn’t stay here again. Breakfast wasn’t great ( although staff at breakfast were). Front desk people were nice, but they seemed to nothing about Raleigh. Pool wasn’t open and nothing except Lenovo Center was within walking distance.

It was quiet in the room even though it was busy. Plenty of parking. The room needed a better cleaning. One of the chairs had food crumbs and there was sticky “stuff” on the carpet in numerous spots.

All the staff members were very friendly, the room was clean, and the location was convient for walking to the game.

Great staff - the gentleman who checked me in (sorry, I can't remember his name, it was so late at night haha!), was fabulous, and the gentleman at breakfast (Caleb) was so kind and so helpful. Quiet, comfy, and easy to get to from the airport.

Bed and pillows were comfortable. Bathroom was clean. I really liked having the balcony.

Great large breakfast. Clean quiet hotel

Was very close to the venue for a concert which was very convenient

Very nice pool, staff was very friendly and welcoming. We didn’t use the pool however it looked nice with nice gardens around it. Very impressed, especially for the price.

You can tell that they are trying but the building is old and the bathroom areas definitely need a refresh and the room lighting, including the bathroom areas is very weak. The bar and restaurant are currently closed. The pool area looked nice. But for price and walking distance to Lenovo Center this Ramada is good enough for a night.

The check in process was quick, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable and the rooms were very nice. We had an enjoyable stay and would definitely return.

Very big hotel. Make sure you park on the side closest to your room. Private balconies were great. Per friendly and in good area

Breakfast was horrible pancakes hard no bacon it looked way better in pics lack of hot choices coffee was good. Shower pressure was almost none. Sink water smelled bad when 1st turned on. Elevator was long walk like half way down hall

Breakfast was ok. Rooms are paper thin and you can hear every single thing and every door slam in the hallway.

Horrible stay!!! Water coming up in the bath tub. In addition, the unsafe fact of all the back & side doors are not secured. You just walk right in, no key needed. Never again!!!!!

Breakfast was so so not the best Bit dated but does the job for 1 night

Room had Roaches and gf ire Alarm malfunction before 7am

Excellent as usual! Fast friendly check in. It has everything I need, convent to the hockey arena and my favorite restaurant when I visit Raleigh. The only thing I missed this time was see Cindy, the manager.

Clean room, fluffy towels, nice staff

Kinda gross, old hotel. Beds are really bad.

Super convenient to stay for games at Lenovo. Fun bar/TV area and outdoor space.

Didn't look full but I was at the end of a LONG hall. Didn't use gym. Ramada site quoted ridiculous price, so Expedia was helpful.

We love the location for Canes games & short drive to downtown. Property is a little dated, but super clean & well-appointed. Special shout outs to Donovan (front desk) & Nancy (in-house bartender) for going above & beyond, though the entire staff was friendly & attentive. We had a minor issue with a towel rack, but we alerted Donovan & had no other problems. We just missed the pool opening for the season - we were told it was awaiting inspection, which I have no doubt would pass, as it was sparkling & clear. Comfy beds, hearty breakfast offering, and a good price combine with great service. We will absolutely be back!

Unfortunately, this hotel is very run down. In addition to that the hallways smell musty, and the room smelled even worse. Staff was very friendly.

The room keys don’t work well. I had to have 5 different room keys made and even the desk clerk could not get my door to open. He had to put me in a different room. Only 1 out of the 2 room keys for the second room worked, and I had to slide it in and out several times to get it to work. The breakfast was not very good. The hair dryer did not work. The staff is friendly and helpful. The only other thing this hotel has going for it is location. Very convenient to state fair grounds, PNC arena, NCSU football stadium, NCSU vet school.

Breakfast was minimal and gross. Pool was always closed.

Great Location

Again, an excellent place to stay.

Breakfast was just fair. Decent selection, with sausage, eggs, pancakes, grits, fruit cocktail. The temperature of the food on chafing disges was bot the best, room temp at best. Bagels, and white bread for toast, small yogurts and cereal.

Breakfast was ok, eggs not good, and staff helping people at the breakfast were nice and friendly

Was no hot tub.

The stay would have been excellent if not for the people smoking marijuana in a nearby room and having to smell it all during my stay. The room was very clean.

Did not used gym. We did nothing look for shops either as we only visited for ones day to attend a concert.

Whole hotel smelled terrible. Receptionist said no 1dt floor rooms was available. First room was so bad, odor and just all stink. Next receptionist gave us a 1st floor room. Was better. Hotel is not worth $155 a night. That is beyond robbery.

Gym had no cups for water dispenser, there was a spi

Bathroom was tiled but not the sink area. Hotel is a bit older, so it just needs some renovations. Overall decent stay for the cost. Staff was very friendly.

All was great!

The grounds are nice.

Very clean and nice people

Just a quick over night stop in

This is an older hotel, but right across the street from the NC Fairgrounds which is where we were going. The room was clean, bed was comfortable, lots of towels, hot water but low shower pressure if you like a strong water pressure. There is only one elevator and the property is very large, so ask for first floor if traveling with anyone who has walking issues. Otherwise, we had a nice stay here.

As soon as we opened up the door to our room, we were hit with a musty smell. The facility was clean, but very outdated. Location is very convenient to the hockey arena, but there are no restaurants within walking distance.

Love this hotel. It is an older hotel, but the rooms are huge and the amenities are very nice. Staff is great!

The property is in a great location and has everything you might want there. My first impression was that it needed new carpet and seemed dated. But it was clean and comfortable.

The room was very clean and the staff was great!

Older place but great location with nice amenities

The mattresses in our room definitely needed to be replaced. There were craters in the middle of them!

The stay was awesome

Bar didn’t look open. Only bad thing from visit

Very old hotel, not in great condition. Staff friendly in helpful. We did not use the pool, I can't comment on that. Nightly rate was lower than other hotels in area. Room was clean. Hallways dark, smelled old, breakfast adequate. Not great but not terrible.

Stayed here many times

It was dated but clean and breakfast was good

Amazing hotel. Great check in staff, incredible bar. One of the best places to stay if you are going to a hockey or NC State game.

Room was clean, check in was very easy, location is superb. The staff are AMAZING! Every single person- the man at the front desk who checked me in after midnight, the woman who helped me with making copies the next morning (for my very important job interview), the people cleaning rooms and the lobby, the man working at breakfast- everyone was friendly and helpful. Thank you!

Room spotless and courteous personnel

The bathroom was substandard. Low quality fixtures, bathtub and shower. A strange geriatric toilet seat, etc. the television and remote were ancient. The best breakfast food was the banana. The front desk staff however, were excellent. I personally enjoyed my stay, but I would not bring my family here.

Clean and inviting environment. Excellent breakfast, great variety both hot and cold. Hostess in dining room both friendly and efficient.

The room was clean. The hotel was conveniently located to my event and staff were helpful and courteous.

Staff very courteous

Yes.

The only reason this dump receives 1 star is because it is so close to the Lenovo Center. The hotel is severely neglected in all aspects of a lodging location. We pull into the back of the hotel to go to the room and immediately you see trash everywhere. The keypad to enter was intermittent at best and the people before us were waiting for someone on the inside to let them in. Once you finally get in, the smell and carpets throughout were absolutely disgusting looking like they've never been cleaned OR vacuumed. Now go into the room and the carpet is at least vacuumed but still really worn and just gross. One look at the bed and you see stains in the pillow cases. Look up into the light fixtures and somehow those are stained...amazing. Avoid at all costs if you have other options. Didn't see bedbugs but if any place would have them...this is it. We didn't even stay after the show. We just packed up, checked out and drove home middle of the night. I feel like my money was just stolen. Ramada corporate should remove their name from this place. What an embarrassment.

Staff was very nice however the hotel needs a major upgrade in general

Wonderful experience with great accomodations and execellent staff that delivers great customer service.

courteous staff.

Clean rooms and nice staff.

Room was clean enough nice quiet area. Except for the woman that was serving the breakfast. All of the staff were friendly.

Everyone was wonderful clean room, front desk staff, breakfast staff and food was excellent

Room was clean and comfortable. Staff was helpful.

It was clean

Thanks,

Great place to stay if you want to be close to Rex. Room was clean and staff was super friendly. Property is dated but that was no issue for me. However, had I booked directly with them, I would have saved around $20 because they have a special rate for stays related to the hospital.

The staff was polite, helpful and professional

The refrigerator didn’t get very cold so we put our drinks outside on the balcony. The water pressure in the shower and at the sink wasn't very good. Other than that things were fine.

Staff was friendly and accommodating, room was clean and filled our needs. Price was a bonus.

Easy check in, clean room, staff was super friendly at breakfast.

Room was fine, breakfast was good, and staff was terrific!!!

All good

Staff was awesome. Nice walkable location to Lenovo Center.

Great stay and excellent staff

The room was clean and inviting, with a very comfortable bed and pillows. The room was also spacious with a couch and table. I especially appreciated the separation between the toilet/shower and the sink area. Craig was an outstanding employee who went above and beyond to ensure we had a positively memorable time in Raleigh and lended an ear to my friend who was having some troubles.

Everything was great

The staff is very friendly and helpful.

room was comfortable. Heat was a bit strange. Breakfast could use some gluten free options, maybe some turkey sausage. Location was very convenient for Lenovo center, as long as you enjoy a decent walk.

Clean room; Required to eat breakfast in dining area only; side door to exit dining area was locked so only one way in/out - probably a fire code violation.

The room is clean, the staff are friendly, and the food is good.

The room was clean. The air condition was fine. Breakfast was good

Great service!

Room had a weird smoky smell but clean nonetheless.

Excellent place. Tidy and comfortable and quiet

Friendly staff

Older place but clean. Breakfast was ok nothing stopd out and they didn't have a waffle machine.

Hell yah

Clean room, great breakfast.

The room was clean, very spacious, the employees were friendly, just a all around decent place to stay

This is the place to stay if you go into Raleigh for a Carolina Hurricanes game. The hotel is within walking distance of the arena, so you save the $35-$45 it costs to park in the area. Plus, there’s a very nice breakfast included each morning. The savings in parking cost, plus the value of our two breakfasts if purchased elsewhere, likely covered 85% of the cost of the room itself.

Nice place.

They really need to do work on the outside. Building and parking lot

The room was very clean. All of the staff members were so nice. They treated me like family. The food at the breakfast buffet was delicious. The weight staff for the buffet in restaurant were just as friendly and cordial as the desk clerks. I will definitely be back to this hotel.

Room was clean. Perfect for the respite we needed before continuing our travel. Breakfast was good and the staff was courteous and attentive.

Donovan at the front desk was awesome and answered all my questions. Beautiful lobby area with a roaring fireplace and ample sitting area. The ground floor room was pleasant with a sliding glass door and small patio area. There is a desk with chair and a separate chair for sitting and reading. The bathroom was roomy, and bed comfortable. Breakfast staff was lots of fun! Kaleb, Keller and Jonathan made the experience enjoyable. They were very attentive and friendly. Overall, I enjoyed my overnight stay!

Fresh food, clean rooms

Courteous staff. Good location.

It was a great place

Very noisy!!!

Clean convenient and can walk to the stadium to watch an NHL game!!

Clean room and friendly staff!

Roon was great, staff was friendly.

Easy and quick checkin, arrived a little early and were able to check in right away

The room was cold but the heater worked good. The TV selection was not good and no instructions let in room on my options.

I love the staff here.

The hotel is run down, Loud guest coming in and out all hours of the night, cleaning staff working odd hours. It seemed clean but everything is old or needs to be replaced, and if it has been replaced it’s been down in the cheapest way possible. The breakfast in the morning was gross and unclean. Friendly front desk staff.

The items were okay for breakfast. But the pancakes were hard and there was no cream cneese.

Very convenient for us to go to hurricanes hockey game. Really starting to show its age especially the outside of building and condition of the grounds

The hotel is dated with a room that didn’t have a properly locking door and a bathroom light that was flicking.

Our room was nice and clean and the rate for the weekend was very reasonable

As usual, clean, polite, and 15 minute walk to see the hurricanes play hockey. Been staying here since 2020.

Yes

Stay was awesome

Just Awesome

Walking distance to Carter-Finley stadium.

The room seemed clean at first. There is a odor in the rooms that gives a nursing home smell. Beds had some issues. On one bed springs were felt and the other bed wasn't secure. Most concerning are the exit doors are not properly secured. They don't lock and can easily give access to the hotel. Not exactly what I expected from Ramada.

Awesome

Place of run down, external security doors don’t lock, questionable customers, constant smell of weed, very convenient for drive to fair grounds.

Room was clean breakfast was hot staff friendly

This was approximately half the price of other near-by hotels.

Room was clean and front desk staff was very helpful and friendly.

Everything was fine just a lil old

This place blew me away! I’d been on a long road trip and I usually have good luck at picking hotels based on reviews, but on this trip I’d totally struck out until I got to this property. Literally a flawless stay and a room that exceeded my expectations. Check in was easy and the staff was friendly. Despite being busy because of a sporting event at the arena down the road, it wasn’t too loud at all. My room was spacious and clean. The entire property inside and out was clean. Bed was comfortable and I cannot say anything but great things about the room. I absolutely would stay here again! I wish all hotels were as great as this!

It was expensive for the room. Very old and smelled moldy/musty when you walked into the buildings.

Yes

Clean room, decent included breakfast, fresh towels every day.

Clean quiet and comfortable. Breakfast excellent and well stocked.

The location of the hotel was perfect. Walking in, the lobby was great and pretty and really aesthetic honestly. But then once you started walking down the hallway and got to the room, you could see it was rundown and grimy. It did its job and the beds were clean, but it was just run down.

Room was clean; staff was kind and courteous.

The room was clean, comfortable and the shower was great.

The pancakes were a little chewy and the eggs were a little odd in texture. Overall it's a little bit older needs updating. updatingupdating

Great location for walking to the Lenovo center

Staff was friendly, room was fine and clean however, I’m don’t think I would stay again because the room smelled VERY strong of wet carpet(mildew) smell. Could use a little updating ESPECIALLY the carpet. Breakfast was good.

Room was great! AC worked wonderful! Breakfast could have had a better variety.

Staff was awesome.

The staff for breakfast were so friendly!

Nice clean hotel on Route 40. Good stop on our road trip. HBO on TV, ice machine and WiFi. Room clean and we had no complaints. Free newspaper and tourist maps in the lobby. I highly recommend going downtown to the Natural History Museum. Very interesting, esp. dueling dinosaurs exhibit and research.

Good walking distance to local events.

Clean, quiet room. Comfy bed. Breakfast was excellent!

Breakfast std Hot basics, egg, sausage pancakes. Hotel is basic but great for hurricanes game. Bed very comfortable. Staff were very helpful.

Friendly staff!

The breakfast had a wide variety of choices which isn’t always the case at other hotels. Room was quiet and clean.

Staff was great, very helpful when needed. Hotel itself is a bit dated but the beds were very comfortable and the showers we're hot. I'd stay again if necessary

Our toilet leaked, our shower literally screamed while showering, the hotel ran out of towels and washcloths, and we had rips all over the carpet.

The property was close to the fairgrounds where we were most interested in going. Traffic was very heavy but still allowed easy movement.

Very cool layout.

The Ramada Inn was close to the NC State Fair, you could walk to the fair if you wanted. Clerks at the desk were friendly and knowledgeable. Nice comfortable bed, we enjoyed our one night stay.

Great just wish the TV was bigger couldn’t watch a movie with the family

The breakfast we ok although the meat wasn’t cooked through

Bathroom sink plugged

Toilet needs to be standard size, not a squatty potty. Shottle to fairgrounds should be free for guests.

The room had a stale smell about it. The bathroom door looked like it was splitting from water damage, and the ceiling had plaster off in spots.

Great breakfast food choices. Within walking distance of fairgrounds, spacious & also within 10-15 minutes from crabtree valley mall.

Older hotel but perfect for what we needed and close to our venue.

I did not like that the hotel would not allow me a second car. I was willing to pay whatever but had to go to some random sketchy people to get some parking ticket for this same property I was staying at. Otherwise everything was excellent!

Yes

We were pleasantly surprised how clean and very sophisticated this hotel was for the amount of stars they have. Did not expect great upkeep.

👎

Very dated hotel. Staff was friendly but hotel is not nice. It’s close to the Lenovo Center so that made the stay convenient

Hotel lobby and outside is a little worn down, but the room was clean and smelled fresh. All staff we interacted with were professional and enthusiastic. We will definitely stay here the next time we see a concert in this area!

Suited our needs perfectly and very reasonable.

Checked in virtually for early checkin$25, it was worth it. Room was ready and clean. Staff was friendly and courteous. Dining options. Running was hot, offered free breakfast. I left at 630, but i saw the setup. It was huge.Its an older hotel, but convenient to carter finley

Too noisy but otherwise clean and friendly staff.

Staff nice

Loved our stay! Super easy walk to the lenovo center for a concert we went to!

Room was dark but fine. Had all the necessary amenities. Staff was friendly. The breakfast was lacking. It was an older hotel but I never felt anything was wrong for a quick overnight visit

Too much for what you get.

Bar was cool but wasn't open early enough to pregame for the flyers game. Had a drink after though and it was pretty good.

Fine

Very clean all around. Free full breakfast was awesome and the pool is beautiful.

The hotel staff is very professional and friendly. The lobby and lounge area was very inviting. The breakfast menu could use a change with the breakfast meats (patties instead of links fully cooked). The rooms need TV upgrades. Walmart is now selling them for little of nothing. The hallway walls needs to be painted. Most importantly, the rear exit door needs to be fixed.

Easy check in. Friendly staff. Goid value and location.

Very clean ! Good rooms - very hard to teach the hotel with ongoing roadwork .

We enjoyed the old-school experience and the simplicity of standard cable TV and yes a hardcopy newspaper. No struggling with streaming and unnecessary online complexes.

Atmosphere was beautiful! Hotel was very clean! Staff was VERY friendly and welcoming! However, my only concern would be the lights in the courtyard that doesn't work, is DANGEROUS because it is super dark out there without them. I would also say that the room has a musky stinch, other than that, this is hands down a beautiful hotel that is well kept and they do care. I know that when your working somewhere and are around a place everyday you become blind to the smell, but let me tell u, the rooms need attention for the stinch....

Great place to stay if going to an event at the stadium. It's walkable and very convenient

Gym is horrible

The towels in the bathroom where the best. Soft and actually dry your body. Shower was also great. The A/C needs to have a dehumidifier added to it. It felt a little damp so the room smelt a little musty. Breakfast was very good. Staff was friendly. Rooms need to be updated. Elevator is located at the back of the Hotel, long walk from check in, if you have heavy luggage you may want to park in the back or ask for a room on the 1st floor. All and all it was a good stay.

The staff was excellent. We had a small issue with the room and they immediately gave us a different room so we didn’t have to wait for them to fix it. And the room was really nice and clean and perfect for our short stay

The front desk was fantastic very friendly and accommodating.

N/A

Was a great stay, my dog was allowed. She had her own bed and slept all night! Very clean and quiet.

Great place to stay for a night!

Very clean property it needs to be updated as far as the carpet there in some of the fixtures

Plenty of parking and very good highway access to anywhere in Raleigh.

Entire facility needs an upgrade. My room had an unpleasant odor. I bought air freshener and sprayed it frequently. The management did offer an upgrade to a suite but I didn't want to move considering my guess was that all the rooms need to be redone. Breakfast was not at all enticing. Rubbery pancakes, bland muffins, and not enough fresh fruit. Overall, I would not recommend staying here unless you want to be in walking distance of the NC state veterinary facilities.

The staff were very nice and helpful. The only thing bad was that the shower needed some tlc.

Our stay was pleasant, comfortable and quiet. Friendly staff. The place was clean. Nice pool area. Thumbs up on being pet friendly, and our room had sliding doors accessible to a walkway path to walk my fur babies.

First time sending this location, I enjoyed that the room was neat and clean, and bug free. The hotels was extremely quiet. Very minimal interaction with staff, but when I did interact with them, they were friendly.

Everything was very clean and the staff was very nive

The room was very old and elevator out of order and real dirty and front desk very rude and racist

It is an older hotel that needs to be updated and rooms smell humid. Aside from that, it was very clean, the staff was great, the included hot breakfast was good with friendly staff, and I would stay there again because of its proximity to attractions and the convenience. I will highly recommend. Just be aware that this is not a brand new hotel so it is dated. Also, the bathroom in my room didn’t have an exhaust vent reason why I think there was a smell of humidity everywhere.

Outdated but comfortable. Attentive and friendly staff. Convenient to Lenovo Center.

This is the second time submitting this review, I don't know why the first one didn't go through. The room and bathroom were very clean. The only thing lacking, was no "cubbies" or storage for personal items in the BR, just "counter space" at the sink. However, the towels were thick and plush. The beds were very comfortable with a thin comforter which made the bed snuggly and warm. The breakfast on Sat. was hot and delicious, we got there about 8:45 am. There were hot scrambled eggs, sausage patties, bacon, well seasoned grits, pancakes, pastries, cereal and fruit. Sun. not as many selections, sausage links, no bacon, scrambled eggs, pancakes, cereal, pastries and fruit. (Please don't forget to tip the cook and the ladies who kept everything well supplied, they worked very hard to keep us happy!) The swimming pool was clean and beautiful even though we didn't get to swim. The lobby itself was very nice with several places to sit and hang out, nice "India" interior decorations and wall paintings. The staff was very courteous and professional. We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed the pool and how quiet it was

The room was very clean, the bed was very comfortable with a light weight comforter which made it "cozy". The bathroom and shower were very clean with nice thick towels. The main complaint is there were no "cubby" holes to store toiletries and not a lot of counter space where the sink was to place them. Saturday, the breakfast was hot and delicious with scrambled eggs, sausage patties and bacon, wonderful creamy and well seasoned grits, pancakes, sweet pastries, cereal and fruit. Sunday: eggs, pancakes, sausage, hash browns, cereal, fruit. ( Please remember to tip the cook and ladies that kept things well supplied, they work very hard!) The swimming pool was beautiful and very clean even though we didn't swim. We will definitely be back!

Attention is NEEDED to cleanliness! Spider webs, trash etc in these areas need real attention: the bedroom balcony, sitting area in court yard and porch, steps, walkway into entry doors from side of building. Thank you…

Clean, comfortable beds and great customer service. Not updated, but for the price we were satisfied. Thanks for a nice stay!

Clean place,Great Location!!

Dislikes; First room had no wifi due to its location in the back of the building. Asked for another room and staff was more than willing to give us a room closer to the front of building. Second room was much better overall except water pressure in shower was very low. Hotel needs upgrades, water & internet especially. In spite of the issues, stay was adequate due to cost, cleanliness and staff.

Nice location

Old and bad smell

Na

What I did like was the walkability to PNC Arena. They now charge a $25 pet fee. The young kid checking us in did not seem to be a dog-friendly person but it sounds as if there has been a lot of inconsiderate people that have stayed recently and have not taken care of their dogs (i.e. leaving them in the room all day during a football game and have left waste in the rooms).

Loved the courtyard and the pool area. Neat hotel that did not make you feel like you were near the hustle and bustle. Would definitely stay again.

Assuming that is fixed this is an acceptable hotel in the fairgrounds/NC State area. I got it because I decided at the last minute to spend the night in Raleigh so I could go to the second day of an event I was there for. I didn't want to spend a lot of money and I needed something close to the fairgrounds because I was tired from traveling and not sleeping well the night before. If you just need somewhere to sleep and you're not looking for a posh experience (and they fix those doors!) this was fine.

Room smelled like mildew!!!

Staff members always willing to help

Hotel was great, the bar/buffet, pool and outside patio are very nice. Only complaint is the lighting inside the rooms, they do have several lamps buy for some reason the room is still dark.

Staff was excellent and very accommodating. Great location.

Great location to the Lenovo Center-less than a mile and an easy walk.

Me gusto la habitación, el servicio, el desayuno, las instalaciones, y la facilidad de entrar a las habitaciones desde el estacionamiento. Volvería a hospedarme ahí.

Great walkable location to Lenovo Arena. Free parking. Hotel is dated, but clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again, especially for shows at Lenovo or for NC State games.

The room was okay. It smelled like mildew and just seemed a little dirty overall. It's great walking distance from the football stadium and the Lenovo Center but i woulve opted to stay in downtown and just carpool in.

Proximity to amenities

Wonderful, pet-friendly hotel.

A surprisingly cozy hotel. Great value for the price. Staff was great. Facility is well maintained

My car would be broken into. No cameras on outside of building. Was a quick one night trip

The property location was inconvenient, nothing in walking distance. The property/ my room #119 was not good, the door looked like it was kicked in by the police, the lock was not secure, it was just a half, half broken chain lock, sliding glass door had no lock just a metal bar to keep it secure, it has no screen and it was off track making it difficult to open and close the door. Curtains stained. Toilet clogged, key cards wouldn't work had to constantly go to the front desk to get them rekeyed. Toilet too small, to low to floor, shower rod falling apart. I took pictures of all issues.

It would have been nice if the water had worked in the bathtub it water would not come on I told them about it this morning as we were leaving I was told that they would tell the maintenance people about it but I felt like we should have been given some kind of discount cuz we couldn't take a shower or a bath we had to bathe off in the sink

My room was exceptionally clean. Property is dated but clean and functional. Would definitely stay here again.

Hotel was clean, location was good, rooms are a good size and I liked that there was a balcony. I stayed on the 2nd floor and walked the entire floor looking for an ice machine. Finally went down to the lobby and they told me there was only one on the first floor, which was not very convenient to our location.

Good place to stay but could use some up grades . Good location but there was alittle road work in front . I would stay again.

The staff are living in the hotel and looks like the ones smelling pot. Find somewhere else but here.

It’s old but clean. Close to the airport. Affordable. Room decent size. Hot breakfast.

Security doors broken. Outside is run down and in need of serious attention. Staff was rude and tense. The breakfast was ok but the door greater demanded a “card” , the room number and number of people in the room.

Quiet hotel. 24 minute walk to the arena. Safe walk. Room clean. Bed decent. Nice pillows. Tv randomly kept shutting off. Asked maintenence to look at it. They may have come while we were gone because when we got back to the room it was on and never shut off again, so thank you. Gentlemen at check in very nice and helpful. Our second floor bedroom over looking the pool had a balcony which was a pleasant surprise. Didnt use the pool but people were in it and it looked very clean. Bkft was just so so. Microwavable pancakes and sausage but it was ok. Scrambled eggs were good.

A long walk from the elevator to our room but found stairs anc they were much quicker mode of travel.

Review: This was by far the most disgusting and unsafe hotel stay I have ever experienced. The room I was given reeked of smoke, even though it was supposed to be non-smoking. There were visible burn marks on the furniture and bedding, which looked like fire hazards just waiting to happen. To make matters worse, the room had bugs — crawling on the floor and in the corners. Absolutely unacceptable. I immediately brought this to the hotel staff’s attention, but nothing meaningful was done to correct the situation. A hotel should provide a clean and safe place to stay — this property failed on every level. If you care about your health, comfort, or safety, avoid this hotel at all costs. I would not recommend it to anyone, not even for a single night.

The hotel was a little overpriced for the brand/quality. The front desk staff was the absolute nicest, most accommodating, pleasant staff I have had in the longest time. The hotel itself is dated, but appears to be pretty well maintained and clean. Even the caulk on the tub was clean and maintained well. Dove brand soap and shampoo. My room had a usable balcony, which was nice, although we didn’t use it. Bed was comfortable, and there were USB ports in the lamp bases. The remote control for the tv did not have batteries or a back cover. We just used the controls on the tv. ( we were only there for a quick overnight stay)

This hotel is in dire need of some love. It is old, tired, not as clean as it should be. If you choose to stay here, make sure your room does not have an adjoining door to another room, as it basically means sharing space with a door in between. We could hear every word that was said in the other room. We asked for another room and were made to wait until the next check-in time, then had to check out because we found a pest in our room that I will not name. Some of the front desk staff seem to get triggered when a customer is stressed by the presence of pests, and perhaps should not be in the customer service industry. Would not recommend

The property was good and we enjoyed the complimentary breakfast each morning. The hotel allowed us to stay in Raleigh without being right in the heart of downtown, but we were still a10 minute UBER drive away.

This is my third time staying at Ramada Inn, I always stay 2 or 3 nights with my family, I love the location, it is so convenient to access NC State Univ. And Meredith College. We have been outside very late at night and early morning and surrounding seems safe. Bedroom and Bathrooms are clean, even the ones at the common areas. Breakfast is always the same: scramble eggs, bread slices, pancakes, some times you can find muffins. Always have fresh coffee and orange juice cups. The only thing I didn't like this time is the bad smell in the hallway, so moldy, it really made me feel sick. The hotel had these big floor driers fans on the corners of the building. We had this moldy smell even in the room so bad. Borken glass in the parking lot was another thing I noticed and made me feel unsafe the first night. Crew members were just doing their great jobs, they are very respectful but not too friendly, maybe they were just tired... it would be great to get a smile and feel a welcoming environment though.

This was a good place to stay since we were at a concert at the Lenovo Center. The hotel staff was kind and courteous. My issue was that in one of our rooms there was a roach and one in the hallway and when I went to take a shower in the morning the water was cold.

When i pulled up the outside of the building looked run down and i asked what did i get myself into? But my fears were put at ease when going inside. Nice clean lobby, friendly efficient check in. Room could use an air freshener, but thats just me. Room is a nice size, very clean bright. Overall a great stay!

Great place and convenient to our sons apartment.

Bed was not very comfortable. There was a strange smell - not bad - just weird. Think it was the detergent. Breakfast buffet was really good.

Room was very clean but overall the carpets in room and property needs to be updated. Would stay there again though as it’s also a great location

Shower poor function,tv broken , breakfast not very good. Would not recommend!

The staff was very friendly

Breakfast was good. Eggs, sausage, pancakes, ect. I like that they sell individual beers near check in if you wanted. Great idea! The price was good. The place is huge. Elevator wasn't working on one end. Great bar/ food down the street. Not the nicest place in town but worth the money.

Just kinda crummy and old.

The place was great. The only complaint was the hallway near our room smelled of cigarette smoke.

Cons: The AC stank. It had a musky smell. The breakfast was not good even for 2 star hotel I expected better. Only noticed elevator on 1 end of a big hotel. Vestibule carpets need a shampoo are get different flooring. It’s okay for 100 a night right next to campus. Pay $160 and get a better experience.

It seems a lot of people occupying the hotel are living there. Overall the staff was very nice, and anyone we encountered was polite. The room was adequate but the common areas and grounds are sub par.

the people was very nice and friendly

Nice guys at the front counter, helpful and friendly. Quiet and clean.

Asked for a King Accessible room and got a second floor Double Queen. Key cards didn’t work initially and had to go all the way back down to the desk to have them reprogrammed. Corridors are dingy and the plastic corner protectors are falling off the walls. Inside the room there was a convulsing roach that I named Rodney and bits of his friends all over the bathroom (leg in the soap-dish? They thought of EVERYTHING!). Shower head was weird and very low pressure. Towels had holes in them and I felt the need to shake them all out and keep them in the dry cleaning bag just in case Rodney had an intact cousin. Bed seemed clean but it was rock hard and the room had an overall “dirty” vibe to it. Like, you leave the hotel and feel like you need a shower and to immediately decontaminate everything you brought with you before you go back into your house.

Breakfast was mediocre, there were 3 dead roaches on our balcony right outside our door. Hotel pool was completely falling apart and had a ton of debris in it. Room itself was fairly clean though just outdated.

The complimentary breakfast was very limited and poor. The hotel just needs to be updated everything looks old but clean

Was a great stay. Very clean, great selection at breakfast. Friendly staff. Would stay here again.

Easy check in. Have stayed here before with a good experience and will stay here again in the future. Breakfast was also good.

Hotel needs a lot of cosmetic work.

Great location and room was clean. Beds were very comfortable and shower had good water pressure. Overall a great value

This place was a dump. The picture online look way better than in person. I was grossed out. I will never stay here again!

Great stay

Generally the room was OK but requires a major upgrade. The (old) AC unit was dropping black (mold) on my pillows and the bathroom vent did the same on the floor. Internet service was poor, sheets were dirty for the spare bed: one had black soil on it the other was spotted with red dots! They gave us no blanket for the pull out sofa.

The gentleman who checked me was very nonchalant. He didn’t say when breakfast was, didn’t give me the WiFi password and just said “ I need your card in case your dog messes on the floor”, to which I replied my dog is trained. Which he needs to be in order to handle the public.

It was comfortable for one night. Although, had no hot water when I showered.

Disappointed by the stay. Reviews looked great, but I think they oversold what the property is really like. The staff was great and friendly, but the room seemed outdated with an old, uncomfortable bed, and the shower pressure was barely enough to come out of the shower head. The stay was fine and it got the job done, but this place was not worth the price to stay there.

Once we got into the new room, we discovered: • The shower didn’t work • The TV wasn’t working • The toilet was clogged and would take a few minutes just to flush properly We were too tired to even bring these up again. This was just a really bad experience overall. Basic room functionality should be standard. Definitely not the kind of welcome we expected after a long journey.

It was a basic hotel, a bit old and dated, but at the same time, basically clean, free parking and free breakfast, all for a great price. It was close enough to the convention center to take a bus or uber.

Clean, comfortable rooms, excellent breakfast range, and just a pleasant stay overall. Even though the elevators were down at the time due to maintenance, they were able to accommodate me by getting me a room on the first floor. They didn't have a rollaway available, but everyone was still comfortable. Overall it was still a great experience. I will be staying there again.

Nice place, comfy room, good rate, staff was nice, very close to the airport.

Room and hotel in general very clean. The grounds are well maintained. Loved the pool

We came for the weekend. The hotel room was clean. The AC worked well. The elevator was out of order. The shower faucet felt like it was going to come out of the wall when trying to turn on the shower. The water pressure was weak. The pool was broken in spots along the ledge. I expected more from a hotel with an 8.4 rating.

Bed was too hard for us. Building is an older building and needs maintenance. Weren’t told elevator wasn’t working- discovered that when we got all the way down the hallway to go to the 2nd floor where our room was. No chairs to sit on the balcony that we paid extra for. No ice machine on 2nd floor. Not all channels listed are accessible- kept saying No Signal. Outdoor pool was refreshing but does need maintenance on it - no trash can out by the pool and the one in the gazebo was pretty full. Didn’t get emptied in the 3 days we were there. Sliding glass door was easier to open than it was to close. Breakfast was good. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

I didn't like that the breakfast didn't have any meats, no bacon or sausage.

Had a good time

I felt extremely uncomfortable so I left on the same day I checked in.

Dingy halls, walls, drop ceiling could all be improved. The breakfast was lacking in terms of offerings and presentation. The side door into the hotel had a screw in it, and you didn't need your room key to enter, rendering any security null and void, anyone could walk into this place at any time. Granted its a 2 star property, I should have known better. Rooms were clean, but they need to lose the carpeting.

Stay there when we go to concerts! Lots of friendly people around! Howies Pizza delivers quick! Breakfast is pretty good!

Been to better, been to worse. On the expensive side for what it is
