Pros:

I loved the aesthetic of this hotel. The staff was very nice and accommodating. The location was not noisy at all, although it is right next to a busy street.

If it wasn’t for booking.com I wouldn’t have booked there. Their regular price was way too high. The pics made it look l
Pros:

Had a modern retro feel. Felt like an old motor in was renovated.

Cons:

The carpet felt damp & sticky. Recommend flooring. There was a musty odor in the room. There were snacks & sparkling water in the room for us which we helped ourselves to a few things. Not noticing it at first we later saw a price sheet for the snacks. The chocolate bar was $12!!!! I explained to the manager we thought it was complimentary which often happens at the Airbnb’s we stay at. She said she would charge us for the items and just wouldn’t budge.

Getaway
Pros:

Comfy bed and right in the middle of downtown. Snacks in room ,but they will charge so if you don't want to be charged don't take them. Bluetooth in the room. No elevator in case disabled or elderly. No breakfast either.

Pros:

It’s fairly clean

Cons:

They advertised breakfast, and some guests said the breakfast was amazing. I really wonder if those reviews are fake. Anyway, I didn’t see any breakfast at all.

What’s more, there weren’t even any slippers, and their excuse was that the items hadn’t been delivered yet. That explanation is totally unacceptable.

I will never book this hotel again. It’s by far the most disappointing stay I’ve had during my trip in the US

Fantastic. Would stay here again!
Pros:

The staff was amazing and very friendly. The packet the staff provided was very helpful. The faculties were convenient and the location to downtown was incredibly convenient. The access to the bar and the open space just outside was a nice touch.

Cons:

The only thing missing was the lack of breakfast and I wish the food truck schedule was a bit more convenient. Other than that, there was not much to dislike.

Pros:

The vintage atmosphere

Cons:

The bathroom wasn’t in a very good shape.
Moreover the staff doesn’t look at the messages sent through booking so they don’t reply nor take in consideration when their is a change. This is very disappointing. I won’t come back

Very comfortable, welcoming stay in Raleigh downtown
Pros:

Walking distance to downtown and the train station. Comfortable and quiet. Nice amenities like local snacks, coffee, and toiletries. Excellent staff, welcome and list of local attractions a nice touch.

Cons:

There is some road noise from 401 but the handy location outweighs a bit of noise. The room was a bit dark. One bedside lamp didn’t work.
