Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Raleigh-Durham Airport, NC
The staff was great. It was easy to get shuttles to & from the airport. The room was a little dated but it was nice. The pillows need replacing, my neck didn’t like them. Overall, worth the price.

Comfort Inn Raleigh Midtown
room was great, the bathroom was okay… the tub and toilet seat had some staining

Sonesta Select Durham Research Triangle Park
The hotel is a 3 out of 5 for me. House cleaning I expect to come everyday, not every other day. The build and rooms could be modernize for a possible 4 to 4.5 rating. The hotel looks to have a kitchen that is not in use? Only serves coffee ☕️ in the morning?
