Hampton Inn & Suites Raleigh Downtown
Parking was in a garage across the street, dark and scary at night. Surrounded by loud nightclubs which were open at least until 2 am. The hotel itself was lovely, but the surroundings spoiled it.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Raleigh Downtown North
The room was nice but the walls are thin and there were folks in the adjoining room who were obnoxiously loud into the late hours of the night. Despite the staff speaking to them, we still had to put up with screaming children who were probably jumping on the bed
