La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Raleigh Downtown North
The rooms have been updated and mine was very clean. Linens were nice and fresh. The only exception was the couch. It had a terrible smell and my black light indicated fluid so I didn't sit on it. All staff were very friendly and helpful and they all said hello when I spoke to them.
