La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Raleigh Durham Intl AP
I would have given you more stars but I found a roach in the closet that holds the microwave and the coffee maker. Sure hope I didn't bring them home with me. Also behind the right end table there was all this white stuff that had run down the wall. No way that the housekeeper could miss that.

It was a nice hotel

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.

Quality Inn & Suites Raleigh Durham Airport
Airport shuttle service was on time, courteous, rooms were clean and comfortable

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?
