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!

This hotel had pretty much everything we needed for a good stay. 24 hr gym, breakfast, happy hour, and plenty of common area lounge/seating for informal socialization and brainstorming. We enjoyed our last night outside by the firepit with some barbeque and drinks from the bar. I was in a double queen room. Very clean and spacious, had all the amenities except for some body lotion. I probably could have asked for some but luckily I brought my own. I used the gym a couple times and liked how open it was and there was a good variety of equipment (free weights, cardio machines, smith machines, bosu ball, and kettlebells). They had a water machine, towels, and even complimentary headphones. The only place I didn't get to check out was the pool, but with summer essentially over, I didn't really expect to make it out there and our schedule was jam packed anyway. Overall I enjoyed my stay here, it was nice to collapse onto a comfortable bed after consecutive 16+ hour days. Just wish they had EV chargers here! @azfitfoodfun

Although this is a fairly new hotel (about a year old), I was not pleased with my stay here at all…read more I'm usually an Embassy Suites girl, and this trip reminded me why. As a Hilton Honors Silver member, they do not offer complimentary bottled water. They use a "green initiative" reason about reducing plastic, but still sell bottled water for $4 each. They do have "refreshing stations" with still, alkaline, and sparkling water, which is nice--but you must bring your own bottle. To me, if guests are spending their money with Hilton, a simple bottle of water shouldn't be too much to offer. Another major inconvenience: valet-only parking at $30 per day. Since it's downtown, you really have no choice but to use their valet unless you want to hunt for outside parking. The valet team was cool and friendly, but it's still an extra cost--plus you have to tip every time they retrieve your car or tip at the end of your stay. That adds up quickly. The hotel itself is beautiful, but the rooms are very small. Tiny dorm-style fridge No microwave No iron or ironing board, only a steamer Just not the level of comfort, space, or amenities I'm used to in the Hilton brand One thing I did like is that Tempo is connected to Homewood Suites, and you can choose where to eat breakfast. Homewood Suites offers a complimentary buffet-style breakfast, while the Tempo side has a café and bar where you have to purchase your breakfast. The café staff, bar staff, and most of the front desk team were very nice--no complaints there. But overall, between paying for breakfast, paying for parking, paying for water, and tipping valet every time, this stay was more expensive and less comfortable than it needed to be. This was my first and last stay at Tempo. It's simply not my cup of tea. I'll be sticking with Embassy Suites, where I get more space, better amenities, and the level of comfort I'm used to.

Would definitely recommend this to many people!!!

I checked in around 7pm on a Saturday for a one night stay…read more I was not given a mobile key and my room ahead of arrival, which has been the case for every other hotel I've stayed at this year. I booked my reservation with a card that I always use for my hotels. I asked front desk to charge that card (which has never been an issue with other hotels).I was told that I needed to physically wipe the card for incidentals but I didn't the have the physical copy, only in my Apple virtual wallet. I asked if I could just use a different physical card just for incidental charge and they charge the card I booked with for the hotel reservation. The staff member told me yes. However, when I checked my account after stepping to the side, I saw that she charged me the room rate only (no incidental fee!) When I asked her about it, she said that was the "only way" to check me in and couldn't separate it. This is concerning because she had just told me it was possible. I am more concerned that when she saw she couldn't do it, she did not inform me at all. She told me that a manager would contact me if I wanted to use a different card but a manager never reached out to me before my stay ended. I can confused as to how they say they were unable to charge the card I booked with because let's just say I did a late cancellation or didn't show up... they would have charged that card... I will note that this was my second time here at this hotel and later found out (through customer service rep) that some hotels require a physical card when you stay there the 1st time but typically not for subsequent stays. I'm titanium member and she didn't acknowledge my status or tell me about the lounge access or ask me how many keys I wanted... these were all things she did for the guests who checked in after me, which is witnessed. After she was done checking in that guest, I asked her if I would have access to the lounge (which is the delta pantry). She told me yes. However, when I went to go to the pantry, I didn't have access, so I had to return to the front desk and get a new key. I also had to go back to the front desk to ask for the mobile key, which I requested when I checked in for the app. She told me she would sent it to me. Needless to say, I never got it. I also had to go back and confirm my late check out because the app only showed it as being "requested" but not granted. When I asked, she told me "I see the request" but never said it was granted, which led me to ask the follow up. At other hotels, they tell me about the hotel, tell me my late check out if confirmed, acknowledge my status, and use the card I saved on file. This check in experience was very dry disappointing to say the least; I should not have had to go back to the front desk 3 times to address issues and receive what should've been exemplary service from the beginning. Outside of the check in experience, the hotel itself was fine with no issues. I had a pleasant stay during my first visit a couple months ago as well. Parking is free, which is always nice, and they have a 2 on site eating establishments. I did get breakfast from one of them and it was enjoyable.

Delta Hotels is a Marriott property located in Durham at the Research Triangle Park. It was very…read moreclose to I-40, so it was convenient, but not close enough to hear any traffic noise. I didn't hear airplanes either. The hotel offers free parking and has a complimentary shuttle to the airport. The hotel was renovated in 2021 or 2022 when it became a Marriott property. So it has a modern style, with painted hardwood floors, clean lines, and an open shower. The room had a reusable carafe and hydration stations on every floor. Check-in went smoothly and was pleasant. I was given a layout of the hotel. The fitness room is located on the 1st floor, and the Pantry on the 2nd. I was given a card with the location of things and how to connect to WIFI. My room was clean. I checked the lotion bottle first thing, and this one was new, thankfully. The tv was a good sized and the remote control was in plastic to show it was disinfected. The tv had a lot of stations, I stopped scrolling at 100. My interest was in the March Madness games this time, but I like that there was variety. When the sun was up and light was coming in the big window, there was enough lighting. But I found it dark at night with no overhead lighting and shades on the lamps. The shower was a walk-in without a door and was a good size. I would have liked more water pressure, but the temperature heated up quickly. The hotel has a restaurant on site that I do not recommend, but if you are Platinum or above, there is a Pantry available on the second floor. It was kept well stocked during my stay with water, juice, soda, granola bars, chips, bagels, cereal, apples and a candy machine. The coffee maker was broken, though. Overall, I enjoyed my stay here and would return.

We also each got one free drink at the bar! I do wish there had been a little more Christmas feel in the room itself since there wasn't any holiday decor inside, but the hotel and surrounding area were gorgeous. The park right behind it was lit up beautifully with activities, which made it such a fun place to walk through. Parking unfortunately wasn't great since there were only a handful of spots, so we had to park a bit far away and walk back any time we left. The bed was super comfy and cozy, and room service comes from their restaurant so the food was delicious. The woman at the front desk was incredibly sweet and accommodating, and they also have extras like toothbrushes and other essentials if you forget anything. It is on the pricier side, but if you want to treat yourself for a special occasion, I highly recommend it. We're already talking about making it a tradition.

What's with the high Yelp reviews?…read more The Guest House Raleigh is not a "Bed & Breakfast", it's more like a shared AirBnB. There's no host to welcome you into their home. I had to search for the door code in a text after we arrived. I felt the entire check in process was cold and impersonal. Once you're inside, then you'll see the beauty in the details for Guest House Raleigh. The open kitchen is welcoming. You can't cook or use the oven but it sure looks nice. This is from their website: *The kitchen is not available for cooking or food storage. The proprietor must be a tea lover, there are 10 tea choices with assorted honeys. I started driving from Miami, I want coffee and I want it strong. Tea is not on my wish list. I used the Keurig in the kitchen but I hate those things. The coffee tastes weird and its a lot of microplastics. Not a fan. Once we closed the door behind us, the room was like being in a spa. Light woods, comfortable bedding and good shower products made the entire stay feel like more upscale. Someone wrote they had linen sheets, Its October and linen season is over. Overall, it was a nice room and I enjoyed the shower. (Once I figured out how to use the hot water) I texted my brother in law in the morning. Come to the kitchen, they're making Brioche French Toast! He was up like Hong Kong Phooey screaming: Where's the syrup! When he saw me eating a cup of yogurt with the gluten free-vegan-unsweetened granola? His face dropped. Sadness. *Proprietor - If I'm not going to meet or see you, then make me feel the hospitality! Bake a pound cake for breakfast, offer cups of waffles with a waffle maker, something other than yogurt and a banana. I mean, can we agree on Hard Boiled eggs? Raleigh isn't my final stop, I need to drive another few hundred miles. Street Parking is something I must point out. There is no private parking lot for The Guest House Raleigh. *There is free street parking on Bloodworth Street with a 2-hr limit weekdays 8am-5pm, and unlimited after hours and weekends. We left before 8am, just keep in mind if you want to sleep late, you'll need to feed the parking meter. The town is doing road construction on Bloodworth Street, they are making their way up to The Guest House Raleigh. The question is, would I stay here again? I enjoy both the Bed & "Breakfast" when I travel, tough call.
