Great stay! Friendly atmosphere! Heated pool and hot tub were nice and my kids loved it! They also enjoyed “working out” in the fitness area. Would stay again if we are back that way!

Holiday Inn Express in good location, close to highway and Raleigh Convention Center. Nicely kept up, painted in cheerful colors, nice breakfast provided, friendly service. Only hiccup was on the last evening, water in malfunctioning toilet growled the night.

Check-in was super quick. The room was clean and comfortable. I'd stay there again if I'm in the area.

TV would not work; turned on, but no response by remote, and couldn't turn it off. No staff available to help.
Otherwise, very nice clean rooms and nice amenities.

They didn’t do the cleaning service of my room, room was small, awful breakfast included, poor quality in all areas for the price I paid. Far from everything, do not recommend this one by any chance.

We reported to the front desk that our toilet was broken. They never addressed it so we had to fix it ourselves. The HVAC unit in our room was very loud which made sleeping difficult.
