Ramada by Wyndham Raleigh

The hotel was very clean. The front desk staff was highly professional. The room was fine. We had issues with the outlet by the sink, and we weren't able to get proper contact with the outlet when using the blow dryer. The lamp by the bed had no option to use the USB charger- there was no connection - just a hole. The outlet on the lamp was loose and wouldn't hold the plug. The TV service was poor, lots of static, and the TV was tiny for the space. The breakfast was very lackluster. Powdered eggs, bacon was super salty, and the pancakes were cold. There were apples, apple juice, and orange juice from concentrate. Plain bagels, white bread, cereal, coffee, butter, cream cheese, jam. No bananas, yogurt, or muffins. I don't terribly mind those things. However, I was very concerned about the lack of security. There were numerous entrances on each side of the hotel, and none were locked. I was a bit fearful being in the downtown area without proper security.

You absolutely cannot beat the location. Seemed to be a 10-15 minute drive to most things, and more importantly, it is only a 15 minute walk to Lenovo Center. There isn't a dedicated crosswalk, but they usually have cops directing traffic before/after events. Of course, if you're doing anything else, you will need to hop into a car, since there isn't much else other than stadiums within walking distance. Also, for such a large 2-floor property, it was pretty quiet and parking was super convenient

The location was fabulous!! Right down the road from the PNC Arena, I was able to drop my kids off and pick them up easily. It was conveniently located to shops and stores as well. The hotel room was clean and comfortable. We had a nice balcony view of the swimming pool. The continental breakfast was delicious and hot. All in all we saved so much money on not having to pay for parking at the PNC Arena or breakfast, would definitely stay again.

It’s an older building with good bones. The entry is nice. The breakfast area is nice. The room is nice. everything was clean. The people were friendly. There’s a pretty pool area and a nice common area for sitting with friends and chatting. It is close to the fairgrounds i.e. the Horse arena.
