Quality Inn & Suites Raleigh Durham Airport
The property was fine for a short stay. The location felt safe and was convenient. We only experienced a few small issues, like housekeeping being loud early in the morning, some things not stocked in the room, and not a lot of items for breakfast. But overall it was fine for a quick stay.

Microtel Inn by Wyndham Raleigh Durham Airport
Rooms look like they were updated by someone that was not professional. Closer to airport than expected. Overall was not a bad place to stay for the price though
