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.

Not that comfortable for extended...

Liked: First, let me say the staff was among the best I have ever had at any hotel. They were welcoming, friendly, helpful and informative. Always ready to help with anything they could without question. They got it done and figured it out. Main reason for giving this hotel high marks. Bed was comfortable. Stainless steel pots/pans. Laundry room and fitness room were in same area so you can work out while doing laundry. Great idea! 2 birds, one stone! Can print from business center and use computers provided. Great location!!! stones throw to Crabtree Valley Mall which has about 10 restaurants and good shopping. Close to main highways and stores you'd need to go to for an extended stay.
Disliked: The room felt cramped. I had 2 spoons; 2 forks; 2 dishes small and large each. Was kind of sparse and kitchen area very small and limited. TV wasn't mounted in a way that made it comfortable to view from bed. For an extended stay was rough and not comfortable. Had to eat at desk where I worked and tv was to the side. Just uncomfortable.

Overall loved it just hated...

Liked: Very clean
Disliked: While using the shower it constantly backed up to the point I had to keep shutting it on and off while showering. When I first used it, some particles came up like someone threw up in the shower recently. Disgusting.
