We were in the second floor and the noise from the street kept us up until 3 am. Mostly loud motorcycles and cars. Completely out of the control of the hotel, but stay on the highest floor if possible. The property is very nice, upscale, and clean.

I liked having several restaurants within walking distance. Also we could walk to the convention center. We weren’t there to shop so I don’t know what that would be like. The beds were comfortable and the staff was super nice and helpful. One thing I would have preferred a bathroom door that locked and blocked light.

AC Hotel Raleigh.
A new and very clean hotel. We were advised to get a room facing the back of the property as the rooms that face on to Glenwood Avenue can be noisy at night. This is a popular bar and restaurant location. Rooms facing the back neighborhood were much quieter.

Picturesque rooftop bar serving great food and spirits. The staff is so pleasant and willing to help with any request. Located at the top of Glenwood avenue, it’s a short walk down to a great variety of restaurants and bars. The nightlife is relaxed and eclectic. I will definitely be back. Hope the Char-grill is still there for my late night snacks.

Beautiful property in a great location. Parking was a struggle and it cost $15/day. Seems steep for a hotel that can’t even offer parking to all of its guests. I would return to the hotel, however, if I was staying for an extended time I would find free parking elsewhere.

Nice room, everything else not worth it
Parking sucks. Front desk staff- except for one lady- not knowledgeable at all. And I now have an extra $630 worth of charges I am trying to get knocked off my card. Too many nice places to stay in the area to come back here.

The hotel was beautiful and clean, my only problem was the restaurant. They have a breakfast buffet and they charge $17 per person. We got there this morning around 10AM and they had not refilled any of the items on the buffet. The fruit have been picked over and it looked rotten. All the pastries was really hard and picked over. If they are going to charge that much for a Buffet, then it should be refilled until 11 o’clock when they stop serving.

Expensive Parking, but a nice room
Cons: No free onsite parking. To park on site is 15$ a day. I would just think for a hotel where you pay over 300$ they would have free parking or validate parking. I’ve stayed in many luxury hotels and they all have validated the parking. No free breakfast or even coffee in the lobby. No spare sheets or blankets in the rooms with sofa beds, so have to call down and get them.
Pros:
Good location, very clean, the staff was friendly and nice, the room was attractive, and had modern furnishings. Little touches like a personalized Welcome message on the TV. Bed was comfortable

Expensive, but far from luxury
The property is cramped. No room to leave the car while checking in. Signs out front indicate all street parking is for Uber/Lyft. It feels like the building was designed and built in a rush with lower materials and quality control. Bathroom sink had low water pressure. Bathroom door would not close. Toilet ran constantly until you get out of bed and jiggle button. Windows are thin and road noise is disturbing. Sprinkler/smoke detector strobe light is right above bed and flickers randomly all night. Parking deck is weird and has random plastic humps everywhere that you will trip on. Mattress was mediocre at best. For this price tag I would expect much better.

The HVAC systems in the rooms are not controlled by the thermostat. First room was 66 degrees and the room they moved us to was 76 degrees. Neither room thermostats controlled the HVAC.
The staff was responsive, the facility was not.

Great stay!!
I would recommend this hotel. It was a bit more $$ than others but I feel it was worth it.
We arrived in the morning well before check in and our room was ready! It was so nice after having a super early morning flight to arrive to a clean room on a high floor with a great view. Shout to Adonis for a smooth check in process!!
Room was large, updated and well appointed. A nice touch is they provide you with two mini bottles of water and a cozy bathrobe. Waterfall shower head has great water pressure.
The entire staff were so accommodating and made some great recommendations on places to eat. Tiffany was our girl!! Took care of us and we appreciate her and all the night staff.
There are a few restaurants within walking distance and a great place to grab a beer at “State of Beer”.
We were in town for Galaxycon and we had hoped to get a hotel closer to the Convention Center but it is only a 16-17 minute walk and the area is very safe.
The only things I would point out are:
1. Train tracks right near hotel and train went by at 3:00 am blaring the horn
2. There is a fun bar right next door with outdoor seating. It gets very loud at night. We were lucky our room faced the other side of the hotel but we did hear other guest complaining about the noise. The hotel did provide ear plugs which was nice.
3. No swimming pool. I guess I should have checked that when I made the reservation. Nowadays I just assume a hotel at this
