By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Worth booking if you have a car, want a clean room and free parking, and value being near the airport, a mall and the hospital. If you want to walk to museums and downtown Raleigh, or you are fussy about mattresses, look at our other two picks.

This is our Budget pick in Raleigh, a 3-star hotel at 6209 Glenwood Ave. Guests give it 8.4 out of 10 from 1,891 reviews, a big sample that makes the score reliable.
It works for drivers, business travellers heading to the airport or the hospital area, and families. The property lists family rooms, a pool, a gym and free parking.
It is a poor match for anyone hoping to explore on foot. Every sight in our data is more than an hour away walking. Light sleepers who are picky about beds should also read the comments on mattresses below.
Location on Glenwood Ave and getting around
The location score is 8.9, and guests point to easy access to the airport, a shopping mall, restaurants and the hospital. That is convenience by car rather than a walkable city centre.
The North Carolina Museum of Art is 5.2 km away, about 65 minutes on foot. WakeMed Soccer Park is 9.1 km off (around 114 minutes) and Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral (Raleigh, North Carolina) is 9.3 km (around 116 minutes). All three are far, so you will need a car, public transport or a taxi.
Those walking times are straight-line estimates, and real routes will be longer.
What guests say
Cleanliness is the standout. Reviewers describe rooms as spotless, fresh-smelling and well maintained.
Location is the second plus, for the reasons above: airport, mall, restaurants and hospital within easy reach.
Beds draw mixed comments. Most guests find them comfortable, but some mention hard or unstable mattresses and lumpy pillows. If you sleep badly on firm beds, that is worth weighing.
Price, and how it compares with our other Raleigh picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 November, 2 adults) was €104.14 a night, so about €208 in total. This is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
That is well under the sample median of €172.26. Our Best Value pick, Hilton Garden Inn Raleigh/Crabtree Valley, scores 9.0 at €148.96 a night. The Luxury pick, The StateView Hotel, Autograph Collection, is a 4-star scoring 8.7 at €265.79 a night.
The gap to the Hilton Garden Inn is about €45 a night for a noticeably higher score. Here you save that money and still get a pool, a gym, free parking and a breakfast listed as continental, vegetarian, American, buffet and to go. Whether breakfast is included in your rate is not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 10 eligible hotels in Raleigh. This one had the lowest eligible reference price after the upscale choice was reserved. On guest score it sits joint 8th of 10, so it is not one of the top-rated hotels in the sample.
It earned the Budget spot because 8.4 from nearly 1,900 reviews is a solid, well-tested result at a price around 40% below the median.
