Aloft by Marriott Raleigh

The room was clean and maintained well. All of the staff were very friendly and accommodating.

The room was amazing, the bed seemed brand new, and the AC worked great. Everything was very clean, I appreciate that. All the staff were so nice. We went to the Mexican place down stairs for dinner also amazing.

The location was beautiful the atmosphere was beautiful the room had a beautiful view and the value excellent

Room was great size. Large TV which my husband liked. Bathroom was spacious. I think it was for handicapped because of all the bars in the low tub. Great for me.

Super Lage direkt am Campus der NC State University mit Blick auf den Memorial Bell Tower, wo man den Absolventinnen (es waren hauptsächlich Frauen) bei den Erinnerungsfotos mit weißem Kleid und der leuchtend roten Cap and Gown zusehen konnte. Bushaltestelle direkt vor der Tür. Unten im Hotel gibt es sowohl ein nettes Café als auch ein gutes mexikanisches Restaurant.

Was surprised to find blood soaked mattress under the sheets. When showed a photo, they said they would give me free parking.

Convenience was main feature. Room adequate for 1 night stay.

unbeatable location for NC state. staff was helpful and accomodating. bar and breakfast on-site a plus. close to off campus restaurants. clean room

I’m struggling with this review because the hotel is lovely, ideally located, and the staff all seemed very nice. BUT if you stay here please avoid room 301. I lost a night of sleep due to the street noise. A very loud garbage truck was right outside the room, a loud train was nearby early in the morning, and loud vehicles kept me up late at night. I told the front desk woman in the morning about the noise and she told me there are no trains nearby. I thought I was losing my mind- I swear I heard a train for about 20 minutes straight. Well lo and behold on our NC State tour we crossed over train tracks and the tour guide confirmed that yes- trains do run right there! So while I would not stay here again due to being a complete zombie for the next day I do appreciate that it’s indeed a lovely hotel. On a side note- my sister was in a different room and said it was completely quiet and amazing.

We had a great experience staying at Aloft Raleigh with our team. The staff was incredibly accommodating from start to finish and made the logistics of traveling with a large group feel seamless.

The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-suited for our team’s needs. The location was also really convenient, especially for getting to and from competition venues and meals.

We especially appreciated how helpful and responsive the staff was whether it was coordinating arrivals, handling small requests, or even following up on items left behind. That level of care doesn’t go unnoticed.

Overall, a really positive experience, and we’d absolutely look forward to staying here again in the future.

We had Trouble checking in, But the room and hotel were phenomenal!

I come to this Aloft every year with a college track team. Thom has been an exceptional host and always works with us. We love staying here whenever we are in Raleigh!

Great location in walking distance to local restaurants rooms nice and comfortable helpful staff will definitely visit again

Great location! Can't get closer to NC State. Lots of cool restaurants and shops within walking distance, and great parking. The rooms smell very clean and new, and it has great Wifi. The atmosphere is inviting and open, with games and a wrap-around patio in the lobby. The price was very reasonable. Very friendly front desk and bar staff. Will stay here again.

For the past five years, Aloft Raleigh has been the lodging host for our Building Future Faculty program at NC State University, welcoming more than 30 visiting scholars each year. I cannot say enough about the exceptional experience they consistently provide.

First, the location is unbeatable. Situated directly across from NC State’s iconic Memorial Belltower and along vibrant Hillsborough Street, the hotel places guests in the heart of campus life and within walking distance of restaurants, coffee shops, and local retail. The setting makes it easy for our participants to explore campus, connect with the local community, and fully experience Raleigh during their stay.
The hotel itself offers a modern, welcoming atmosphere with thoughtfully designed guest rooms, comfortable beds, and amenities that make extended stays easy and enjoyable. Guests appreciate the clean, spacious rooms, reliable Wi-Fi, and the lively social spaces like the W XYZ® Bar and terrace overlooking campus, which provide perfect gathering spots for conversation and networking.

What truly sets Aloft Raleigh apart, however, is the people.
The staff members we work with year after year, Thom, Evie, and Savannah, are phenomenal. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail make our program feel welcomed and supported from the moment guests arrive. Coordinating lodging for large groups can be complex, yet they consistently make the process seamless. Their hospitality, responsiveness, and genuine care for our guests have made Aloft Raleigh an invaluable partner in delivering a positive experience for our program participants.

Our visiting scholars often remark on how comfortable they feel during their stay, and that sense of welcome is a direct reflection of the team’s commitment to service.
Simply put, Aloft Raleigh has become an essential part of the success of our program, and we are incredibly grateful for the partnership and hospitality they continue to provide.

If you are visiting Raleigh, whether for campus events, business travel, or simply to explore the city, I highly recommend Aloft Raleigh. It offers the perfect combination of location, modern amenities, and exceptional service. We will continue to return every year.
