Top hotels in Northwest Raleigh
Embassy Suites by Hilton Raleigh Crabtree
The room was ok it was dusty I stayed sick the whole time. They turned off the hvac system for like three hours, then we had to leave cause it was hot in there and I couldn’t breathe. The staff was nice. The amenities outside of the room was good. They need to upgrade.
