Valet parking was speedy & very considerate. Parking w/o valet would be cumbersome. No parking in the building.

Will you stay at this property multiple times and the staff is always on point very helpful. They are graded what they do. The facilities are also well kept and clean. Just wish they had a microwave...lol

Valet parking was a bit pricy. Our overall experience was good. The room was clean and very cool, temperature-wise. We really love this hotel’s proximity to restaurants and shopping.

The hotel design is beautiful Parking was $30 for one day!!!! That’s ridiculous to pay to park where I’m staying. And if I am going to pay to park it should be a discount vs. non hotel guests.

We absolutely loved our stay! Everything about the experience was wonderful and all the important boxes were checked. The room was clean, comfortable, and the hotel itself was beautiful and well maintained. The location was great with plenty of things nearby. What truly made the stay stand out was the staff — the front desk employees were AMAZING, so friendly, welcoming, and helpful from start to finish. The valet service was superb as well — quick, professional, and very courteous. Their hospitality made us feel right at home. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Really disappointed in this stay. Other people’s hair in the bathroom. Room ventilation was terrible - we woke up to a baking room twice during the evening. North Hills is a great area - just stay somewhere else.

Very pleased at the location & surrounding venues. The 7th floor was just WOW! Inside bar/restaurant with roof top with plenty of room. I will now add this to my favorites for sure. The front desk staff was remarkable & the Valet guys did an amazing job.

Front desk was AMAZING and so friendly! Would come back again just for her! Room was clean although renovations since I stayed last are a bit odd, not bad, just odd. The AC is in the center of everything so be prepared for a bit of street noise. Love Level7 of course, its honestly the reason why I come there.

I pre-ordered a fruit and cheese tray for the room with my reservation. I asked the front desk person to check on it when we arrived and he said he saw it had been reserved and would have it sent up but after 2 more calls to the front desk over the next 90 minutes it never came.

Property was nice and clean. I could’ve done without the AC unit in the room though. I’ll have to ask if that’s an option for room choice. Also, Level7 was the worst. Not clean and the drinks were horrible.

Mr. Gray and Colin were welcoming and so helpful in giving us many insights to where to dine and explore in Raleigh. They were both professional and down to earth and made our stay out of this world .
- 3/5
Service and cleanliness is great. Small room for the pricing. Parking was not the best unless you want to pay for valet parking. The lighting in the room is very dull. Including the bathroom lighting just not very bright. And if you want to open the curtains there is zero privacy from the building directly across from you.

Will come again.

Amazing location and room.
- 4/5
My observations ( not exactly complaints just things to know): 1. This one is my fault. I thought I booked a room with 2 queens. I actually booked 2 doubles. Not a big deal. 2. We stay in this part of town a lot. I actually prefer a competitor which is closer to the park. 3. This hotel has a very popular rooftop bar area which can be noisy at times. Other than that, it was a good stay at a very nice hotel.
- 2/5
Too small room. Vanity area is too close to sleeping area and lights are too bright for people who are sleeping. Shower/toilet area has no privacy.

Our air conditioning will not turn on. It was on when we arrived, and I turned the thermostat down because the room was chilly. When we went to bed I turned it back up and it has not engaged. The temperature is set to 65 and the screen says cool, but the temp in the room is reading 75. I would calm the desk but I do. It want to wake my son. This is pretty miserable. I have followed instructions per the owner’s manual online and watched you tube videos, and still the room is not cooking.

I don't like rain showerheads; so, I'm glad I could turn it off and use only the handheld/wall mounted showerhead. There was barely any water pressure, though (not noticeable with the rain showerhead thanks to gravity). The bracket that was meant to hold the handheld/mounted showerhead in place and allow adjustments didn't do either. I had to get creative. The gym was very nice but I didn't have time to use it. I was really hoping for a pool but there isn't one. The rooftop lounge was great but the outdoor patio attracted very large roaches at night (after most people left). The staff was very friendly, though! Even the extremely busy bartenders had great personalities!

No drawer space and only 4 hangers in the small closet. Not ideal for family of 3. Breakfast area small (2 tables of 4) no pancake or waffle option

My wife and i stayed valentines weekend,this hotel is in the center of everything which was fine but if you are trying to get rest or peace and quiet this hotel isn't the one.the 3rd floor we were on was pretty much busy the entire stay.if it wasnt the rooms next door it was housekeeping early the next morning banging carts and slamming doors.this place never sleeps.lol.but overall the stay was ok but next time i think i will stay away from all the attention.
- 1/5
Absolutely overpriced and terrible hotel, wish I could have cancelled the reservation. Rooms are tiny, layout is awful with the vanity in the middle of the room, and the vanity was badly cracked and in need of replacement. Mattress was horribly soft and the duvet was paper thin and felt very cheap. This is not worth 270usd per night, not even close
- 4/5
Hotel was clean & all the staff we encountered was friendly and helpful. The room it's self was a lot smaller than we expected with only a sliding glass door for the powder room which didn't feel very private. Road noise was also an issue. Sounded like motorcycles going up and down the street at all hours of the night. Also, be prepared to pay $30 to valet your vehicle. There is no other parking.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food options at level 7 could be better and also no microwaves in the room.

The only complaint I have is no microwave in the entire hotel but on the flip side of things as nice and upscale this hotel is I can understand and see why they don’t have microwaves due to the mess food makes within itself.

The lighting in the room was not sufficient, even you turned on all the lights in the room. When you try to get more natural lighting by opening the curtain, then people from the outside can actually see you in the room. Facing the hotel is another building very close, with parking garage where people can park their cars and literally see you in your room, what happened if you feel like changing your clothes in your room and not your bathroom. You should be able to do it without being afraid people can see you naked.
