“Clean and quiet”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 29, 2013

This is a clean,quiet and comfortable hotel. Jason and staff will help make your stay great.
There are many choices for food delivery, but nothing within walking distance. The convention center is about 1 1/2 miles away.

Room Tip: Any room is good.

Dear Quezmom:

Thank you for taking the time to write a review of our hotel, Jason and all of the staff are thrilled that you had a pleasant stay. We try very hard to offer our guest service with a smile and clean affordable rooms with a great location near the convention center. I hope next time you are in Raleigh you will stay with us again and try our our newly renovated rooms.

Thank you again!

“Better than expected”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 20, 2013

Room was great. Very clean, spacious, bed was comfortable, but pillows were too firm for me. Room had a refridge, microwave and coffee maker. It didn't have a hair dryer, but hair dyers are available at the front desk. This location is being remodeled in Feb. '13. Hairdryers will be put in rooms then. I'm not sure why they are remodeling, but, it will just be better. The staff are very nice and friendly. They have no breakfast, but you have to give up something to go economy class and still have a great room. They did have coffee and tea in the lobby and 'to go' breakfast bags that had a little pack of muffins and a bottle of water.

“Nice place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 17, 2013

I've long shunned Red Roofs but several months ago stayed where it was the only choice. I was surprised at the clean and comfortable, though basic, accommodations and have had a couple of good Red Roof stays since then. This was definitely one. Clean room and reasonable rate. Convenient for getting to downtown Raleigh. Only negative was total lack of any "working surface" (desk/table).

Stayed December 2012, traveled solo

“clean and safe”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

i had the pleasure of spending the night in Raleigh. I chose the Red Roof Inn. the price was very reasonable for a friday night. It was only 51..clean room,,i felt safe there at night ,,all the doors in the building you had to use your key card. People couldnt just walk into the place. easy off the hwy,,easy on, Served the purpose. i would definately stay there again.

“Convienent & excellent place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 5, 2013

We stayed in this hotel for one night while passing through on our way home from Florida. We chose this hotel based upon the cost and the reviews. It was by far the best "cheap" hotel that we have ever stayed in. I think it was recently remodeled, which probably helped, but regardless, the room was very clean, smelled fresh and the bed was nice and comfortable. We brought our 1 year old and dog, and both of them were comfortable as well. No, there is not continental breakfast, but the coffee/tea and muffin were great to tie us over until we went out for breakfast. In my mind, I'd much rather stay in a nice room then eat a crappy breakfast anyway. We'd highly recommend you book here for an affordable, comfortable night's stay! :)

Room Tip: We stayed in the Superior King...the bathroom was huge, shower was great and lots of space in the ac...
