I was attending a conference at the Raleigh Convention Center, which is actually just across the street from this hotel, so location is great. The check in process was fast, and the staff were welcoming and thoroughly explained the amenities. You can park for $15/day (at time of my stay) in the adjoining parking garage. The hotel is clean and modern looking. I stayed in a king-size suite which had ample room, kitchen area, sitting area with a sleeper cough, bedroom area and large bathroom with shower. There were floor-to-ceiling windows which allowed ample light. There is an included breakfast which includes a fair spread of hot and cold options. I did not have any other meals at the hotel since there are other good food outlets within walking distance. Overall a good choice if you're attending a conference in downtown Raleigh
