Top Southwest Raleigh Hotel Reviews

Sheraton Raleigh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great. The staff was wonderful super clean super convenient for local shopping and dining and going to watch music. Had a great time!"

Hilton Raleigh North Hills

8/10 Good

"Room was ok I didn’t know they were connected (with doors) thats a personal no for me. The staff were amazing, nice and helpful. I did see a lot of midnight ballerinas in and out which made me slightly question the hotel but nothing was to it so I had a nice calm night with some good food and Starbucks after."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Univ Area Chapel Hill

8/10 Good

"The hotel was a reasonable price for a quick one night stay traveling from NJ to Atlanta. There's a Mexican restaurant next door. Nice room,although the grout in and around the bath could use some bleach. The AC was quiet. The breakfast was typical of the free buffets, coffee was actually very good! One odd thing was the parking lot lines. The parking spaces were so narrow you had about 12" - 18" on each side of the car when you parked. There were several spots where folks parked a little off and the adjacent spot was unusable."
