Go-to place to stay in Raleigh
Pros:

As an NC State alum, Aloft is my go-to place to stay when I come to town to visit. The hotel itself is beautiful, clean, and quiet, the staff are so kind and helpful, and the view of the bell tower is the best (especially when it’s lit up red). The location is great for trips to tour or visit NC State, central enough to be convenient for visits to go to a concert or Hurricanes game, check out the local museums, and there’s many amazing spots nearby for coffee, food, fun, or for drinks. The bar on-site is amazing and the bartender Robin is excellent. 10/10 would recommend for anyone coming to visit Ralz!

Belltower views!
Pros:

We had a great stay here!

The rooms are big, clean, and comfortable. Everything felt well maintained and easy, which is exactly what you want.

The staff really made the stay. They were friendly, helpful, and attentive. Check in was smooth, our questions were answered quickly, and you could tell they genuinely care about guests having a good experience.

The location is perfect, right across from the belltower; you can even hear them chime! Easy walks to all of the restaurants and bars on Hillsborough Street.

Great spot, great team, and a very convenient place to stay. We would definitely book again.

Amazing Stay- What’s not to love?
Pros:

Amazing stay! The rooms were clean and the beds were incredibly soft and comfortable. The staff was extremely friendly, so personable, and truly made me feel welcome. The made-to-order breakfast options were delicious, and the downtown area was super walkable. Plus, the view of the NC State Bell Tower was amazing. What’s not to love? I’ll absolutely be staying here again.

I had an excellent stay at Aloft Raleigh! The hotel has an exciting atmosphere and conveniently located in close proximity to plenty of great spots around Hillsborough Street. I had to make a few changes to my travel itinerary due to the weather and the staff was very accommodating. How situations like this are handled really show the caliber of customer service the staff will offer to give their guests the best overall experience.
