Very good breakfast buffet options, convenient location, close to the airport and RTP office buildings, helpful and smiling staff, great lobby bar area to hang out with friends/colleagues. I must admit that my experience at the hotel this time has been much better, compared to my January stay. Kudos to the hotel manager and his team for not only reviewing but also acting on guest feedback. Overall, I'd recommend staying at this hotel when visiting the Research Triangle area.

    The location of the site was fantastic. I expected more for a corner king-size room, but the room was similar to others, and I didn't see any difference. The pool is really tiny and it's only suitable for children. the noise level around the pool should be reduced on weekends.

    Did t eat breakfast as there wasn’t much variety for the hot foods. Not much counter space for a family of 3. We did like the suite style…separate living room/bedroom and full fridge.

    Very quirky atmosphere, fun to look at even while just in the room. Also ideally located for my trip, central and within walking distance of many venues and restaurants.

    Purchased a 2 queen beds room and got a king size room. The hotel was completely booked so they were not able to rearrange. I was traveling with my wife and 2 kids, got it very late to the surprise of only 1 king bed. They provided a roll out bed but very uncomfortable. This should be like a 60 dollar motel. Then the lady at front found out the hotel changed the room without notice and she was talking about charging extra for the rollout bed. She ended up not doing it, but unacceptable solution at that point.

    The room was spacious with a full kitchenette, microwave, electric cooking top, dishes, and silverware. The tv had good cable channels ( movies, sports, kids, true crime). The staff was very friendly.
