NC Vet Conference

I stayed for two nights at the Days Inn. Great location for the conference being held at the Raleigh Convention Center. I liked that it had a frig and microwave for my leftovers from Dinner. My husband liked the treadmill they had in their "fitness center". The bad was the room smelled musty. I also noticed that a part of the rug to the left of the bed was wet.

It was a comfortable stay. Rooms have an ambience of warmth. Wash basin was a little cloggy. But the cleaning staff do a great job. all the receptionists except one were really warm and welcoming.

Good for the Gay's

As a gay man, it is important to have a place to stay that is located in a diverse area so that I feel comfortable and safe. The location of the Day Inn in Downtown Raleigh is perfect. If you are there on business or pleasure, the location allows you to walk to everything because of its proximity to everything. It is close to many bars, nightclubs and restaurants--some of which are gay. We were visiting for the first time and had the chance to experience 1st Fridays which was an art gallery celebration. It was also in this neighborhood.

No Complaints Here!

We went to an NC State football game and stayed here that night. It was close to the bars on Glenwood. We will definitely go back for the location at this price.

Remember you get what you pay for. Disgusting is all I can say...my room was infested with bed bugs. Still trying to get my refund which the manager always seems to be out. He seen the video and pics and blamed it on a dirty mattress...either way its still gross!!

Don't Stay HERE

Really rude staff. Prices charged do not match fees paid to [...]. Says it's ADA accessable, but it's not really. To get to free breakfast, you roll down the hall, out the door by the vending machines, spin in the parking lot and the roll up the ramp into the main door. Ramp to main door is too small to accomodate wheels on both sides of chair. Soft drink purchased from vending machine on 1-12-2011 expired 10-25-2010. Would never stay here again.

New years 2011

The hotel staff were very pleasant and prompt. We had to run right out the door and must not have noticed the leak in the bathroom. We left to go out to dinner and meet up with some friends which was all in walking distance which made our new years night fun and safe. This is why we picked this hotel, because we felt we could walk to any downtown spot and not pay an arm and leg for a place to sleep. When we got back however the room was full of steam from the leak in the shower, which was leaking very hot water. The staff were understanding. Overall the night went great and i would stay there again.
