AC Hotel Raleigh Downtown

We stayed two nights and had a great stay. I understand the train noise, though staying in the back removed that nuisance. Great breakfast at the rooftop bar - also a perfect place for a drink and some food. Room comfortable, easy walk to restaurants and bars. Didn’t like the $19 per night parking charge.

The noise was unbearable. Bad music loud crowds on the street below until LATE in the evening.

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
