This was a fine hotel, centrally located in downtown Raleigh, easy to get to from Durham area. The buffet breakfast on Sunday was very good and the staff throughout the hotel was accommodating. The hotel was clean and seemed to be well run. The only misgiving was there did not seem to be a concierge so there was no one... More

Thank you for your review of the Raleigh Marriott City Center! Our hotel is slightly different than others in that our Concierge actually is in the lobby interacting with guests instead of behind a desk. We term him the Lobby Concierge. Additionally, we staff our Club Room during the week with a Concierge who is available to assist guests. All... More

We spent the Mother's Day weekend visiting family and stayed two nights at the Raleigh Marriott Center City. The rooms are nice, clean, and guilt. The staff is friendly and willing to meet the guests needs. Rooms toward the end of the hallways are quieter since folks are coming in and out all evening. The hotel restaurant has an excellent...

I booked two rooms at the Marriott in downtown Raleigh for a school-related event. This hotel is relatively new and it is quite nice. It is very clean, with a bright, open lobby and you can walk to the downtown museums and the capitol building. We were greeted promptly when we arrived and quickly checked in. I was traveling with...

I really wanted to like this hotel but generally I’m not that impressed, due to the little things. But, I’ll list out the pros and cons and let you decide for yourself. This hotel is definitely set up for the business traveler paying with the company card (you must pay for transportation to/from airport, internet access, breakfast, bottled water). This... More
