Great View of Downtown Raleigh

I needed a place close to the place where I was doing business. This hotel was nice, clean, affordable, good breakfast buffet (not free), great views of downtown Raleigh and the Capitol building, Legistlature, and Governor's Mansion. Close to everything downtown and NC State University. Bed and shower were more than sufficient. Wake up call happened. Business center convienient. I'd recommend it.

Great For My Purpose

I was in town for just one night and didn't need lots of luxuries. This hotel has clean rooms, and is unique because it's round. The rooms were updated last year. Nothing fancy, but clean. The restaurant on the top floor offered a great view of the city. The breakfast was very good. Overall, between the amount of the room and the breakfast, I would say this hotel is a good value for the money. It's close to downtown and NC State.

Heart of Downtown Raleigh

This hotel is centrally located to all the restaurants and bars! The front desk staff is limited (usually only one person) but very friendly. You are literally paying for what you get for the actual room. Its clean, good sized and no fancy perks, your standard toiletries included - shampoo, conditioner and so forth. In terms of cleanliness, they did clean the room each day but sometimes forgot to pick up trash that was truly trash! Overall, it served its purpose.

Good location

The Clarion in Raleigh was comfortable to stay at for an evening. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable as well. The hotel is centrally located near a lively part of Raleigh. It is within walking distance of the Glenwood District which has many nightlife options. Also, the downtown area is a short walk away.

Location Counts

Rooms are clean and comfortable. The location is great if you want to walk to downtown locations. Layout of the hotel is somewhat dated but it works. Fitness room is minimal.
