Nice venue, loud music!…read more First, I highly recommend that you bring some ear-plugs with you, you won't regret it! I visited Kings on my last visit to Raleigh to watch Paerish perform. My only complaint was the maxing out of the volume on the sound system, when the bands all played, without hearing protection it was impossible to hear the lyrics. And those that didn't bring hearing protection ended up with a ringing in their ears the following day! The bar was great, I was dismayed when I found out that soda water had a charge above the entrance fee, since part of my tip went toward their register, but somebody has to pay for the bubbles out of their tap! If I go again, I will be certain to bring some extra sets of earplugs for the people that come with me.

On Mondays their drink special is $5 for any draft, what a steal! We all enjoyed a drink and a few games. I love the decor and vibes in Boxcar, the artwork is really punk and cool looking. My favorite game, The Lucky Duck, was broken (the claw wouldn't extend far enough to reach any ducks). I reported this to a staff member and she let me pick out any 2 ducks I wanted! The Pokemon pinball was fun too, I love the variety of pinball machines.

I always say I will never return here but somehow a favorite artist has their show here and I end…read moreup here again. Came for Ari during my birthday month. I enjoy Ari as an artist and this show was everything. I also loved seeing Lekan another great artist. The vibe felt grown! Everyone here was polite. I felt the love. This show was a 4* minus the ridiculous lines in towards the back of the building, Jupiter room is a nice to have with admissions. I did enjoy a no wait bar and nice cool space to relax. This venue is not a fav at all. This venue needs to do better with crowd control and entrance logistics. There was a crazy line. I may have arrived too early. The Ritz should post the VIP seating chart on ticket master and stop trying to overcharge excessive amounts for those seats because it's not worth it. The process to purchase a seat is traumatizing. The long wait in line inside (after waiting outside) and then to get up there and learn that it could be well over $250 per person on top of the fees you've already paid for general admission. The drinks are way too sugary. Do better Ritz!

I was ecstatic when I learned he would finally visit the US for a tour and Raleigh was a stop. The staff did an amazing job controlling the crowds, providing hospitality, and safety. I parked in General Admission parking where I prepaid $14.00, it's the very last lot on your right. Entering was easy, getting out was a nightmare. Staff is needed following the event to direct the cars out of the spaces. There are other options for parking that will get you closer to the venue for $20+. We stood in line for about 45 minutes prior to entry. The staff managed the check in process very well. Everyone was friendly and hospitable. We were offered filtered water from the cooler jug where we stood for the show facing the front stage by the speakers & entrance to the back stage. Closest to bar and the exit. Cocktails were served in a cocktail shaker were sold for $22. We had an excellent view of the show. There is upper balcony seating for an additional Upgrade price, if you do not want to stand or be in the midst of the action. The Jupiter Lounge provides an elevated experience prior to show. Allowing you to unwind and have a cocktail. The temperature in the building was set to Alaska. Bring a light jacket and a small clear purse. I really enjoyed this show. The lighting and sound were terrific ! Memories were made. Thank you to the staff.

Frankie's Review - 3/5…read more While in town, we decided to visit Frankie's after it was recommended to me by my boss, and this time I had my husband and 12-year-old son with me. Overall, it was a nice way to spend time together as a family and gave us something fun to do during our visit. Frankie's offers a good variety of attractions, and my son especially enjoyed the rides, including the claw, roller coaster, and zero gravity experience. We also played putt-putt golf, which was enjoyable, though I personally found the course a bit less challenging than similar places I've visited before. The road course was also on the shorter side, but still fun for what it offered. One thing I would note is that the pricing felt a bit high, particularly for the arcade games and rides, especially considering some of the experiences are fairly brief. We also found the pizza to be a little overpriced, so we chose other food options as well as their burger and Philly cheesesteak. Unfortunately, one part of the experience that stood out in a less positive way was the customer service around some of the attractions. Several of the attendants seemed very nonchalant and disengaged, almost as if they were not very happy to be there. That kind of energy can affect the overall atmosphere and, for me, made it less likely that I would return or recommend it. We also had to wait for attendants to assist with some of the more interactive 3D-style games, which interrupted the flow of the experience. That being said, one of my personal favorites ended up being the carnival 3D shooting game, even though we did have to wait for an attendant before we could play. Once we got on, it was definitely one of the more enjoyable parts of the visit for me. On the positive side, it was not crowded during our visit, which made the experience much more relaxed and enjoyable. I especially enjoyed spending time in the arcade with my family, and that ended up being one of the highlights of our visit. I also want to mention our experience in the bar area with Olivia Jackson, who provided such warm and pleasant service. She was courteous, attentive, and truly showed genuine Southern hospitality. Her kindness and professionalism made us want to stay longer, and we ended up enjoying our food and family time even more because of her. She was definitely one of the bright spots of our visit. Overall, while I have visited similar entertainment venues that I personally enjoyed more, Frankie's still provided a decent family outing and a different experience while we were in town. I would rate it 3 out of 5 stars.

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.

There wasn't a microwave in the room, that was a little disappointing, I had to go downstairs to warm up my soup. I'm a platinum member, and the staff kept trying to come into our room, even though we had late check out that was identified on our account. Big positive the staff was friendly abd there is an onsite bar where there was live music the afternoon we left.
