A Wonderful Stay That Completely Turned Our Trip Around
Pros:

After a very disappointing start to our trip, this hotel completely turned things around for us.
We arrived late at night without a reservation after having to walk out of an apartment rental due to its condition, and from the moment we stepped into the hotel, we felt welcomed and taken care of.
The gentleman at the front desk could not have been kinder. He was incredibly understanding and even upgraded us to a larger bed, which was so appreciated after such a stressful evening.
One thing I have to mention is how amazing the hotel smelled. Every single time we walked in or out, I would stop for a second just to take it in. The staff at the front desk noticed how much I loved it, and by the end of our stay they were actually waiting for me with the brand name and scent information they use throughout the hotel. Such a thoughtful touch.
Breakfast was also excellent — honestly some of the best meals we had during our stay in Raleigh. The staff there were equally wonderful. One of the servers was so kind and even offered to help us with a later checkout because she knew we had time to kill before leaving town.
Overall, this hotel gave us exactly the comfort and hospitality we needed after a rough start to our trip. Every employee we interacted with was genuinely warm and accommodating.
I highly recommend staying here, and we will absolutely return the next time we visit Raleigh

close to concert venue
Pros:

We came in late after a concert at the Walnut Creek ampitheater. The staff were friendly, everything was clean and the parking garage was right next door. A bar across the street.

Cons:

Beds were not very comfy and very small rooms but fine for one night

A Raleigh Gem
Pros:

Was in town for the weekend for a friend's wedding, and The Casso totally took care of me. When you see the words "A boutique hotel" do not be surprised that there is no closet. There are plenty of hangers, and a space for your suitcase, you will be fine. My room was near the train tracks and I still slept fine.

The front desk staff are great, housekeeping is amazing, but the true gem of this establishment is Christopher the bartender. So nice and thoughtful.

Christopher is front and center but the hidden gem is the $6 brunch mimosas on Saturdays and Sundays. Yeah, I said it. $6 mimosas on Saturdays and Sundays. They are strong and wonderful. Just like The Casso :)

Gotta go back so I can experience it all. Food, more drinks, and I gotta chill in The Nook.
Pros:

When we arrived the rooms weren’t ready yet. They gave us vouchers for the bar. The bartender, Chris, was wonderful. I enjoyed our conversation. The drinks were delicious. Room was comfortable and beautiful. Room temperature 10 out of 10. I loved it.

Cons:

The only thing I thought was a little off was the placement of the faucet in the shower.
