Many issues were faced with the parking, tag not working properly, being charged by the garage on top of the $30/day charge from the hotel. Breakfast offers hot food and there is coffee and tea available 24/7 in the lobby. There are two elevators on opposite sides of the building so you can never be too far away. However, they both operate extremely slow. Upon checking in the room was facing the bar street, unknowingly booked the hotel where all the college students go out. While they do offer ear plugs and sound machines in each room it doesn't help much when it's 1am and so loud you can't sleep. The other options for rooms face the train or the street - no ideal placement. One bad interaction occurred with a staff member, after being charged to exit the garage I approached the front desk which had no one there. Turned to see a woman straddling the couch behind me who yelled across the lobby asking if I was checking in. When I said no and told her there was an issue with the parking she looked at me to continue when I realized she had no plan on getting up to assist us. She did not help sort out the problem but told us to call the parking garage to get a refund... Upon checkout there was a different worker present who graciously and with attitude I may add, removed one day of parking to make up for the garage charging. Next time I visit this town I will be avoiding this hotel to say the least. However, the rooms were clean and spacious.

Montfort Hall, originally owned by William Montfort Boylan and changing hands several times since…read morehas been fully restored into one gorgeous boutique hotel and event space. The centerpiece of the house's interior is a rotunda supported by four Corinthian columns and lit by a stained glass window located on the roof. Walking into the foyer you cant help but embrace the timeless grace, where every corner whispers of history and a bygone era. There is a quiet serenity to the space, as if time slows just a little bit inside. The modern touch added to the old renovated mansion does come with a bit of a sharp, sterile elegance of a modern mansion. The Parlor is a great place to enjoy a delicious craft cocktail and even better, ADULTS ONLY! There are also many other lovely seating arrangements throughout the property, including outdoors, and a few even come with fire pits. Regardless of your intentions for visiting the Heights House, I am quite confident there will be no disappointments, unless they have a private event. Cheers!

The first thing to say about this is that you will be massively impressed at every turn with the…read morejob they have done in restoration, renovation, and design. Everything is lovely and though it is all modern and sleek, it still feels fitting for the original era of the house. The cocktail area takes up most of the main floor, with a stand-up bar just off the entryway with a few tables and then a larger lounging area with sofas and chairs just beyond. The drinks are exceptionally good, and the spirits menu is creative. They also offer a few small plates. There is plenty of paved parking immediately next to the hotel for guests only, so that is not a hassle as it can be at some B&B/inn-type establishments. At check-in, you are offered a complimentary glass of sparkling wine to set the tone. The rooms are comfortable, but I will say that the entry-level ones are quite small (which is apparent on the website), but for the rates charged there isn't even a place to sit and read a book other than the bed. There's one small, delicate wicker chair that would be for tying shoes or whatever, but not lounging. The bed is luxuriously dressed, and there is drawer space and a minifridge, but no closet -- hanging items can go on hooks by the door out in the open. The bathroom is spacious enough, with a broad sink and elegant tilework. The lighting fixtures throughout are nifty. I found the breakfast sort of average for this type of place. I came later on, so perhaps there is more earlier, but there were a few pastries, some hard-boiled eggs, and fruit when I arrived. There's also a fancy coffee-drink contraption, but those aren't my thing so I left that alone. It's a very easy walk across the Boylan Bridge and down a couple of blocks to the area of the Dillon with several restaurants, and the performing arts center is not far beyond that. Location-wise, there's plenty that's walkable but also more an easy drive away.

I absolutely loved this little hotel on the edge of Downtown Raleigh. The location is great, the…read moreparking lot is easy to access, and the lobby/lounge is so cute and vibey. This is a converted motel (which is my go-to stay given the choice), and while some of the rooms are accessible from the outdoors, most are accessible from an indoor hallway. We ended up staying in two different rooms over the course of four nights (we had back-to-back reservations) but moving from one room to the next was smooth and straightforward. Both rooms were clean and comfortable, and well-stocked with snacks and drinks to purchase. The Longleaf branding is also adorable, and they sell some fun trinkets at the front desk. You can even buy the cute tie-dye rooms that they keep in the rooms if you would like! The front desk staff was helpful for check-in and check-out as well. I would definitely stay here again!

They charge you $75 cover fee if you want any snacks, drinks, or damage the place - but they provide a refund at the end of your stay.

It's a living gallery, a meditation on design and serenity. We spent hours in the communal space, talking, laughing, and letting music fill the air (their sound system is state of the art). It was so comfortable and inspiring that we chose to stay in rather than venture out. John is not merely a host; he is a curator of experiences -- part concierge, part architect, part storyteller. His presence elevates the stay without ever intruding upon it. We usually seek a new stay with every visit to Raleigh. But The Store has changed that. It's more than accommodation; it's an experience we'll keep coming back to.

Beds were comfy, nice pillows, I liked the view of the convention center from top floor. Shout out to "Brie" (hope I spelled her name right) in the club lounge. Loved her energy. She was welcoming, super friendly, and kept things running smoothly. Only downside is the lounge was closed Friday & Saturday, wish Marriott Hotels would change this one da and keep the lounge open on weekends. Though I've never been a the biggest fan of valet parking, the staff handling this assignment did a great job. If you're into authentic southern food, the Rye restaurant fits the bill, this was also a hit. Overall, I had a wonderful stay at the RMCC, it's ideal for business travelers like myself.

From the first moment we walked in the lobby and were greeted warmly, to check out when they acted like they were so happy we'd stayed there..everyone was friendly, kind, and so helpful! The lobby is decorated so nicely! The chandeliers are cool! Each one throughout the hotel is different. We found them in hallways, the restaurant, the lobby, near the elevators..everywhere! Just a cool, chic place! We had breakfast in the Overlook restaurant in the hotel each morning of our stay. Each morning was an all you can eat, buffet style, amazing spread! There were scrambled eggs each morning (we were there for three mornings), but different meats, different types of potatoes, grits, oatmeal, cold cereals, fruits, yogurts, an array of breads, juices, a coffee bar with tea and hot chocolate as well, and soooooo many toppings and spreads to go on anything you want. Our room was very nice, very clean, and the shower is huge! The staff was attentive, both in the restaurant and the hotel as a whole. Our tv went out twice, and both times when we called the front desk, they apologized and sent a tech up to help us. The housekeepers checked in to make sure we had whatever ever we needed; and everywhere we turned there was friendliness. Our hotel was directly across the street from the Martin Marietta theater where we had tickets for a show. So, after a yummy dinner in the Overlook restaurant, we strolled across the street and enjoy an evening with Henry Cho! We walked around downtown, enjoyed a weekend away from home, and felt very safe and secure. We will definitely be back, Residence Inn! We were tickled with the stay and the attention to detail you guys hand out! We will be back, Residence Inn!!

We tried everything to find it in our room, looked everywhere on the floor, in the luggages, in the closet, under the couch and couldn't find it after more than an hour of searching. The front desk said housekeeper DIDN'T touch our bed, which was clearly a lie because a towel which I put on bed last night to prevent menstrual blood on the sheets was also gone.

Thr morning breakfast has all that you need and stays stocked and the staff ensures the area is clean. The ONLY issue we had was a foul odor in our bathroom that they were unable to mediate which I'm sure was a sewer pipe issue but we were able to live with it using air freshener and keeping the bathroom door closed. For a tip: our kids LOVE swimming but this hotel has a seasonal pool so if you are coming during the winter months there is no pool access. Overall this place was very good. We would return.

As part of their sustainable approach, the Casso provides refillable metal water bottles in the rooms for a fee, but with a note pointing out the filtered water dispensers on each floor near the ice machines. The water dispensers have hot, cold, sparkling options. The pod coffee machines in the room have both coffee and tea. The wi-fi works well, and the tv has decent channels and app options. It's very quiet despite its location and even during downtown working hours you cannot hear the traffic. It's a boutique style hotel -- being part of the Autograph collection with all the corresponding amenities. The service from beginning to end was spectacular.
