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.

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.

sub par

Overall, this was a definite disappointment. I found the clerks to be rude, lazy and generally unhelpful. The carpets and matresses had plenty of disgusting stains. The TV remote was malfunctioning.

Weekend trip to Raleigh NC

The Days Inn Downtown was a very decent hotel for the price. The room was clean, large enough. There is a microwave & refrigator plus a coffee maker in the room. The staff were all very helpful. They printed directions to the different places we were going & also our boarding passes. They do have a free breakfast in the morning, coffee, juices, some fruit, cereals, muffins & waffles. I would stay there again if I go back to Raleigh.
