My wife and I stayed at the Clarion over the Columbus Day weekend ($99 per night with the AAA discount). Check in was acceptable. The indoor parking was free. The hotel staff was friendly, but neither quick nor knowledgeable about the local area. The 17th floor hotel room had a very nice view with 2 queen beds. Their free internet... more

My son and I stayed here for a trip to visit NC State. The hotel is located midway between downtown and State. Our room had a wonderful view of the city.

I thought at the time this would be a good choice due to the close proximety to most of the downtown attractions (It is literally... more

While this hotel is conveniently located, clean, and has free (unsecured) parking, the hotel itself is pretty average. I am not sure how they are commanding $100+ a night on the weekends when the legislature is not in session. The pool was drained (and looked like it had been for some time). Internet is only available wirelessly in the bar... more
