Very good overall. I stay at the state government rate (~$70, including taxes), which is helpful. Location is very convenient to my meetings in downtown Raleigh. Only gripe is occasionally the breakfast bar has had issues with its coffee machine, and the fruit (bananas especially) are sometimes over-ripe; and the fruit juices are low-quality. Front counter staff are almost always very friendly and accomodating. Rooms are good; not great, but good enough, and usually very clean. Beds are clean and comfortable. Major in-room gripe: there are two or three different phones (why?? I never use them, and not sure who would), and the little radio alarm clock sucks. Not a huge deal. Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars, but I'll round up to 4 (very good).

This Wingate is in a good location and close to downtown. We had a good first impression upon checking in. We were in Raleigh for an event and upon return later that evening my wife asked the night attendant a simple question and the attendant was unfriendly. We later found leftover food in our room refrigerator, 2 of the lamps in our room were dead, beds too soft and no towels in the hot tub room.
