Very nice hotels today, I slept very well. Their pillows could be firmer and so you will need 23 pillows to be comfortable. I also have a room with the bathtub that was very comfortable. However, I asked for bath soaks and they receive them. The front desk agents appeared to be confused by this and stated that they did not have any and they were never delivered. However, there was a small bag of bath salts in the bath.”

Wonderful front desk staff. Upon check in my bank had locked my card thinking I may have a fraudulent charge. The front desk staff was very patient and helpful. Room was huge! I had a small concern which was addressed immediately and staff gave me points on my loyalty card. I didn't ask for anything they immediately took care of the concern. Bar closes at 11 pm on weekdays....but market was open.

Staff were great. Hotel was nice but there were loud drunks in the hallways all night. Made sure to get a room for the wife with a tub and the tub wouldn’t hold water. Finally the parking is under the hotel and it is terrible. If you follow the signs you will just drive in circles all day

Room was a little stuffy overnight. The hotel charges a $10 fee to connect to wifi too...so we didnt. We used Valet parking and they make you pay on an app. Why cant people.pay cash for valet parking with the person working? Room was nice and we felt safe there. We just felt nickle-and-dimed at a very popular hotel.

However, anytime I use hotels.com there is an issue. No matter how nice the hotel, I always get a room that feels less than. And if something goes wrong and you book through a third party, the hotel can’t do much. For example, house keeping never turned off the alarm in our room and it woke us up at 6am. Then at 9 am, house keeping just full on came into our room, despite the do not enter door knob sign. I did mention it to the front desk and they said they’d give me 3,000 points, but that’s 18 dollars…but they never did add the points. I plan to contact hotels.com customer service, but I don’t have much hope! The hotel was in a fancy to us area. Beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. The air conditioner was very loud and road noise was also loud, so I’d request a room not on the highway side. All in all, I’d stay here again, but would not book through hotels.com.

I had a room at the end of the hall above the roof w/HVAC units and right beside the interstate. I'm pretty sure the entire back of the hotel is on the interstate. It was VERY loud. Really hard to sleep, bathroom smelled like mold. Food at the Italian restaurant connected to the hotel was 2 stars at best. I didn't stay long enough to check out the amenities. Nice location

The hotel is located in a very nice area with a lot of options for shopping - all price points - dining and entertainment. Parking in the lower deck vs. valet parking is a plus because you can park and take the elevator up; no hotel key needed! Be sure to ask for the North Hills view side of the hotel because it is prettier than the interstate side. Breakfast was good for the $20/pp rate.

The front desk staff were super helpful, especially Emily. I had to call down at 1:45 am because the room next to me was playing music so loudly it woke me up. The front desk promptly took care of the issue and it was resolved effectively. The breakfast buffet was well stocked. Shopping and dining nearby was excellent. Super convenient to walk around and get fresh air. Target is also close by if you need any supplies. There is ample parking in the attached garage, as well as valet if needed. Overall, the stay was lovely and I would go back.

The hotel said you all didnt book my room correct and when i arrived they didnt have a room. They then gave me a downgraded room and when i went to pay for the incidental deposit they recharged me the full price of the room again $317 extra an then tells me they issued a refund and its up to my bank when the money returns back to my card. This was a horrible experience!

We were very disappointed with our stay. We were traveling for our anniversary and were referred to this hotel. Issue #1. The elevator from the parking deck was out with no sign to indicate this. After a night on the town, we returned to the hotel and had to walk around to the front of the hotel with luggage in tow from the parking deck in the cold at midnight. We complained to the front desk & he casually advised the elevator was down. I explained there was no sign posted which was so upsetting. Issue #2 When we get to the room the heat in our room was out and only blowing cool air. The maintenance guy came to check it and it resulted in us having to pack up and move to another room after midnight. Issue #3. We had to call to the front desk because our room had no wash clothes only hand towels and towels. Overall this hotel is too pricey to deliver this mediocrity. I doubt I will be returning and will certainly share my experience.

Small issue at check-in, my website and yours didn't communicate well, however it was fixed in a few minutes. All amenities explained, enjoyed the 10th floor privacy and valet parking!

We stayed one night for my husband birthday and the lights were off at 7 in the morning and we didn’t have any hot water. We called the front desk and we were told that Duke energy was going to fix it. We did a late check out at 1pm and the problem was never fixed. The staff were very nice but having no lights or power for majority of our stay was a bummer. I could apply my make up and he could shave for our dinner reservation.

We really enjoyed our one night stay here. Staff was friendly, and hotel was clean and easy to navigate. Very short Uber ride to downtown and located in a very walkable area.

I stayed 2 nights for an R&R getaway, and unfortunately it wasn't very relaxing. For such a highly regarded, and pricey, hotel, the accommodations were average and I had many issues with my room. First, the hotel backs up to a major Raleigh highway. I could hear road noise, especially with loud sports cars and after-market mufflers, at all hours even from the 7th floor. Second, my toilet kept running about every 20 minutes. This woke me up several times in the middle of the night and I eventually turned the knob to cut off water supply to it while I slept. Third, my in-room fridge was barely cold with no visible knob to lower the temp. Any leftovers from nights out were not kept cold enough for me to feel sure they didn't go bad. None of this was worth $230/night. And no, I never called down to complain because I had no interest in switching rooms or going through that trouble.

I booked through Expedia and requested 2 adjoining rooms or 2 rooms next to each other. I called the morning of my arrival to confirm this request and also request a crib. The gentleman I spoke with let me know I would receive a call back. I never heard back so called at 2pm asking if the rooms would be ready. I waited in the hotel lobby with my 4 young kids until check in at 4, at which time only one room was ready. My next room was ready after we went to dinner around 7 but no one called to let me know. I believe they are very short staffed. The valet was excellent and very friendly and professional.

The checkin process was smooth. I got there a little early and my room was ready. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. I had lunch at the hotel’s restaurant and it was amazing. The bartender was nice enough to make me a mocktail (they aren’t on the menu), which was amazing. My room was clean. I thought the pillows were a so soft, which is my only complaint. I had the buffet breakfast which was really good. Also, they had turkey sausage which was a plus. Restaurants were in walking distance. I would stay at this hotel again.
