Raleigh Marriott Crabtree Valley

Raleigh Marriott Crabtree Valley

10/10 Excellent
"Convenient location to walk to Crabtree Mall or to get to the 540, 440, 40, RTP, Briercreek. The room & bathroom were clean, as was the entire hotel. We didn’t use the pool, gym, bar or restaurant. Parking was convenient and very short walk into the hotel. The only issue we had was the attitude of the Receptionist (Sarah), she was not welcoming & had no professional grace. A sad start but we didn’t interact with her again."

What is a historic hotel like in Raleigh?
A historic hotel gives guests a chance to stay in a building officially recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world have had many former lives and uses, such as stately homes, palaces or even lodges, old police stations or skyscrapers — as long as it's of special interest. These types of hotels in Raleigh often preserve authentic characteristics like traditional architecture and period features in their public spaces or guestrooms.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
These are quite similar. "Historic hotel" is more commonly used in the U.S., whereas "heritage hotel" is common in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to focus on the building and architecture itself. Mainly heritage hotels draw meaning from the place's cultural value and how it shaped the community.
Do historic hotels in Raleigh have modern facilities?
Yes, efforts are made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, but hotel interiors are fitted with modern conveniences and safety features. Tourists who book a stay should expect the popular amenities you'd get from a hotel such as Smart TVs, WiFi and updated bathroom facilities. Booking a historic hotel in Raleigh doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's rundown.
