This hotel was the conference hotel for my recent trip to NC State, and overall, I had a good experience. I arrived a bit too early for check-in; I waited in the lobby until 3 PM, and they gave me a room with two doubles, even though my reservation was for a king. The room itself was nice, though, and...

While I got a great rate between my Hilton Honor Points and Cash....this was not what I expect form a Doubletree. As the previous reviews indicate, there has been a great deal of renovation. The front of the hotel let's you think that it is a new facility, but once you come around to the sides to park, you can... More

The Doubletree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone is in a great location, within walking distance of the NC State campus and the happenings of Hillsborough Street. When approaching the hotel, one might be turned off by the rather dated exterior; but once inside the property, it is easy to see that Hilton has spent a lot of money on the updating... More

This is a nicely updated property, with a comfortable lobby that allows plenty of space for guests to spread out. Rooms were well appointed, with good A/C and clean bathroom. Good WiFi coverage, as well. You cannot beat the location, just steps to all NC State happenings.

My sister and I stayed here for 2 nights while attending a reunion in Raleigh. We were able to get a lower room rate because of the reunion, which was nice. Check in was easy and like other Doubletree hotels where I have stayed before, they did indeed give us warm chocolate chip cookies upon arrival. Our room was clean... More

The hotel itself was dark and had a damp musty smell to the corridor I entered and left from, however the room was really nice and the staff was great. I will probably stay again if I need a room in that part of town. I would have to say that they need to add some lighting and ventilation to... More

You can renovate the interior with new finishings but the overall design and construction still shows thru. Most notably in acoustics, the students from NC State throwing a party in the room below me might as well invited me to their party considering how much of their conversations I was subjected to. For the price however a reasoable value with... More

When we didn't have as much time as we normally do to prepare for an event, it was a godsend when the Doubletree had enough rooms and enough event space for us to hold our conference. We were even more blessed, however, in the days and hours leading up to our event. The entire hotel staff (really everyone--the people at... More

I have stayed in hotels from New York City to Las Vegas, and I can honestly say this Doubletree by Hilton in Raleigh is one of the nicest hotels I have every stayed in. It was very clean, and the staff are all true professionals. I ordered room service for dinner, and it was amazing also. Mr. Brian Brooks is... More

Due to it's convenient proximity to the NC State campus, we have had to choose this hotel for the past 3 years as our place to stay. Up until now, the experience has not been a pleasant one. Bad maintenance, dated rooms and uncomfortable beds. I am glad to say that since their renovation, this hotel gets great reviews from... More
