The Spotlight on Candlewood Suites Raleigh Crabtree By IHG

Spacious Suites and Easy Access to Raleigh’s Music Scene

Modern and unfussy, Candlewood Suites Raleigh Crabtree is a laid-back, all-suite hotel just a short drive from downtown and Raleigh’s major concert venues. Tucked off I-440, it’s about 10 minutes from North Carolina State University and PNC Arena, making it a convenient base for music lovers. Every suite includes a kitchenette, free Wi-Fi, and a cozy seating area—great for relaxing after a night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel hits a sweet spot between quiet comfort and venue proximity. With the RBC Center only 10 minutes away, you won’t waste time in traffic. Guests also appreciate the late 12:00 PM checkout—perfect after a late show. While there’s no shuttle, the location near I-440 makes rideshare pickups quick and easy. Suites are well-insulated, so post-concert recovery is easy, even on a lively weekend.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want roomy suites with space to hang out
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list show
  • Couples making a low-key weekend out of a concert
  • Fans looking for a quiet place to crash post-show
  • Budget-conscious music fans who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

The in-room kitchenettes make late-night snacking easy, and there are barbecue grills and a picnic area for a casual pre-show meal. While there’s no on-site restaurant, you're a short drive from Crabtree Valley Mall’s range of dining options. Stock up on snacks at the hotel’s small convenience store or bring your own favorites.

Nightlife Options

Though there’s no bar on-site, the hotel’s location puts you within quick driving distance of Raleigh’s nightlife, including bars, breweries, and live music venues. It’s a great pick if you want to enjoy the scene, then retreat somewhere restful.

What People Say

Guests love the cleanliness, friendly staff, and spacious suites—especially the full-size fridges and comfy beds. The quiet, residential feel makes it a hit with travelers who want to unwind after a show. Many reviews mention the easy parking and convenient access to highways.

Areas for Improvement

There’s no daily housekeeping unless requested, which some guests find inconvenient. A few reviewers also mentioned that the decor feels a bit dated—but the space and amenities more than make up for it.

The Bottom Line

Candlewood Suites Raleigh Crabtree offers concert-goers a quiet, roomy, and affordable place to recharge—just minutes from Raleigh’s biggest venues.

Wouldn’t return due to Management

Disliked: After staying here for two weeks—halfway through my month-long stay—I was shocked and disappointed by how I was treated. I understand that some people take advantage of service dog accommodations, so I don’t mind being asked reasonable questions. However, the assistant general manager’s approach was completely inappropriate. I was questioned in a way that showed a clear lack of understanding of ADA regulations and the hotel's own policies regarding off-leash service animals.To make matters worse, she refused to acknowledge she was incorrect, maintaining a terrible attitude throughout the interaction—to the point where I asked for a refund so I could leave. When I escalated the issue to the general manager, he did apologize but offered nothing beyond that, despite me paying a substantial amount of money to be there,. The only reason I didn’t leave was that I had already been there for two weeks, and packing up all my belongings at that point would have been a hassle and an additional financial burden I couldn’t afford.This experience made me feel unwelcome and unfairly judged. Businesses should ensure that their management staff is properly trained on accessibility laws and customer service, particularly when it comes to accommodating individuals with disabilities. I would not recommend this hotel to service dog handlers until they take the necessary steps to educate their staff on proper policies and respectful interactions.

Passable

Disliked: Stayed 14 days and couldn’t get my room cleaned until the last day. Housekeeper kept leaving notes that the Do Not Disturb sign was on my door and it wasn’t. Front desk person telling me there was a language barrier. Doesn’t make sense to me. Highly disappointed and spent more than enough money over $2k staying here for this nonsense.
