“Fantastic, if I come back will stay again”

Reviewed May 19, 2013 NEW

What a lovely hotel. The rooms are quality and well maintained, and the care and thought that has gone into this design is obvious. The service is fantastic, the rooms are very comfortable and it is very very quiet, which means you get an uninterrupted sleep. It is set in lovely surrounds, at the SAS campus. There is a gym,...

“The Umstead Hotel Delivers ...”

Reviewed May 11, 2013

This is an amazing hotel that even outperformed our high expectations. The staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful and the service at all levels is top-rate. We spent a night at the Umstead Hotel on our annual drive back to New York from our Florida house. My wife and I booked a suite (#107) and we were... More

“WOW, again.”

Reviewed May 7, 2013

Not to sound like a broken record, but WOW! I have now been at the Umstead 5 or 6 times. Sometimes to spend the night, others to have dinner or lunch. EACH TIME the service was excellent! If you want to feel special, experience being pampered, the Umstead is your place!

“So great a stay, it's hard to actually make the most of it.”

Reviewed April 24, 2013

Settled a few miles outside of downtown Cary and across the street from tech-giant SAS, this upscale property is nothing short of perfect. It's just off the interstate adjacent to Umstead State Park. It's lavishly decorated and features pottery, installation, and sculpture from area artists. I stayed on the 6th floor, in a king suite for 5 nights. Pretty much... More

“Excellence all around”

Reviewed April 21, 2013

I spend over 50 nights/year in hotels, usually standard type business hotels (Marriott, Hilton, Westin, etc) so it is a real treat when I get to stay someplace special. I just returned from a one day meeting at the Umstead where I got to stay overnight. This is an exceptional property! The room was large, fresh, well appointed and tastefully... More

“The Bar & Lounge Review”

Reviewed April 18, 2013

While I did not stay here, although I wish I had based on what I saw of the hotel, I did dine there with friends and it was fantastic. Very fresh and local ingredients, some of which are grown on the property I believe. A little expensive but honestly they give you a lot of food. Good service and a... More

“Very nice.”

Reviewed April 15, 2013

Whether its a trip to the spa, an overnight stay in the hotel, or a meal in Herons....this is a nice place. We enjoy the spa and have been there a number of times for just about every treatment on their menu....all fantastic. It does depend on the experience of the staff, but most are really good. The prices are... More

“A very nice place that's not too far away.”

Reviewed April 8, 2013

A perfect place to enjoy 5 star service without leaving the triangle. If you can't find a petsitter and dont mind paying a deposit you can bring your small dog along for the trip. Ran into a big Hollywood star in the elevator (no name dropping) and he commented on how cute our dog was! Our room was small but... More
