Homewood Suites by Hilton Raleigh Downtown

From the moment we arrived, this hotel delivered an experience that felt more like a retreat than just a weekend getaway. We stayed for two nights, and every detail—from the warm welcome at check-in to the serene atmosphere throughout—made it unforgettable. Many thanks to the excellent front desk staff, and our valet - Erin, Mya, and Donavon.

I've stayed in many Homewood Suites, and this one is by far the best! It's extremely clean, perfectly designed, and it sleeps like a gem! We went up on a Friday and were able to get street parking versus using the valet parking, which is around $50. A little pricey for the area, so if you don't mind street parking, then go for it! Only one person was checking in guests, but the line went fast. The gentleman was pleasant and checked us in quickly. The Lobby!!! I didn't tell you about the lobby. It's more high-end than any other Homewood Suites I've ever been to, smells luxurious with high-end decor. The room is spacious and makes you feel like you stepped into your private studio apartment. Bathroom- clean, spacious, and a mini-spa. Location - walkable to numerous restaurants in the area! Would definitely stay here again and again!

This hotel is clean, comfortable, and convenient to the Red Hat Ampitheater. The staff was great and the valet service was polite and very efficient. I highly recommend this hotel when visiting Raleigh.

My husband and I have stayed at this location twice. It is a wonderful experience, even when we show up late at night. The staff is lovely. It's nice to see the same faces each time we arrive. We especially love Dennis, the barista at Moonsong. He is kind, patient and funny. It is our go-to hotel when we travel to Raleigh now.

Check-in at Home2 Suites Raleigh Downtown was smooth and professional, setting a positive first impression. The suite itself impresses with a modern, open-plan layout, combining a full kitchen, lounge, and double queen beds into a well-lit, contemporary space that feels both inviting and functional. The kitchen area is a standout: sleek, full-sized stainless steel appliances (including a fridge, microwave, dishwasher, and cooktop), a clean white countertop, and an island with bar stools make this feel more like a studio apartment than a hotel. Glassware and utensils are neatly provided, ideal for extended stays. The living space is spacious and well-appointed. Comfortable beds, a cozy sofa, smart lighting, and a wall-mounted TV create a relaxed and usable area, perfect for either work or downtime. The decor is minimalist yet warm, with thoughtful touches like a dresser and seating nook by the window. The bathroom, though beautifully designed with modern tile and a large walk-in shower, was where things fell apart. Shockingly, the cold water did not work—an essential feature that shouldn’t be overlooked. This made basic hygiene tasks uncomfortable and frustrating, especially after a long day of travel. To make matters worse, the room door didn’t latch securely unless pushed shut with force—something most guests wouldn’t expect to check. As a result, another guest mistakenly walked into the room—an unnerving and entirely avoidable incident. The hallway and common areas were well-maintained and stylish, but it’s hard to overlook issues with basic maintenance and security, no matter how attractive the surroundings.

This was a great location, only a short walk. I feel ******* needs to update their i formation of cost. 1. Parking available yes for $30 / night extra. 2. There was an extra $95 incidental fee held at arrival. 3 so not ALL cost are included in reservation fee. On a good note the room was great and the staff was awesome!
