Stayed here on business and really liked being able to walk around town. Raleigh has some great character, nice local eateries and bars Rooms are the basic Marriott room styles. Caution if you get roomed on the 4th floor asit appears the AC units could be outside your room. Service was not the best and odd that several platinum members... More

This is right by the so called "convention center" and courts. I was working at the court this week and it was a great location for that, but I felt pretty uncomfortable going anywhere at night. Didn't matter because I had work to do. It's one of those 'downtown' that is trying to revitalize itself by building a nice hotel... More

Need to really focus on proper staffing and customer service. Take a page from the Ritz Carlton whom you own and put to good use in your training. Love the facility but very disappointed in talk back, excuses and then no reply or ownership by management team. We all live and die by how we treat others in our businesses.... More

This is a completely normal Marriott hotel: normal rooms, furnishings and tv. The on demand video in my room didn't work but that probably saved me $15 for a movie. The front desk staff and valets were very helpful and the hotel was clean and relatively new. There were two significant problems-- the Internet access is insanely slow -- slower... More

Thanks for your review of our hotel. We appreciate the feedback! I stayed in the hotel last week and noticed the internet problem you described. I have our IT team working on a solution as I respond. The hotel's bandwidth capacity is being redistributed to stop some users from negatively effecting all. We are on it! Thanks for you help!... More

I had a conference at the convention center that is attached to the hotel. The organization I belong to was able to negotiate a lower room rate than normal, free parking, and free internet (if using valet service) which was nice. Otherwise there is a charge for parking and internet access. The staff was wonderful; when I arrived the valet... More

They want you to valet park so you cannot get your car without waiting forever. They actullay have no hotel parking... More

Dear Salesrepindiana, I am sorry that your visit to Raleigh didn't meet your expectations. The location of this hotel is something that we take great pride in. The convention center is literally across the street. as both the hotel and convention center take a city block-literally, we couldn't be any closer. Thanks for your contribution.

When I checked in, they told me my room type was not available and put me in an accessible room. I told them that was fine but wasn't expecting it to be that nice. When I got in the room, it was really well done and totally up to date. The bed was so comfortable, I had to get a... More

I stayed here for another work convention, it was very convenient because it connected to the convention centre across the street. The breakfast was great, they accommodated and served gluten free options. Full starbucks in the lobby, beds and rooms were very cosey
