The Spotlight on MainStay Suites Raleigh North

Spacious, Apartment-Style Stay Just Minutes from Raleigh’s Music Scene

Modern comfort meets extended-stay convenience at MainStay Suites Raleigh North, located just off the I-440 loop. This all-suite hotel offers a peaceful retreat, yet keeps you close to Raleigh’s top concert venues and downtown nightlife. With full kitchens in every room and thoughtful amenities like free parking and high-speed Wi-Fi, it’s a go-to spot for music fans looking for flexibility and comfort.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate this hotel’s quiet location away from the downtown buzz—ideal for winding down after a high-energy show. It’s only a short drive to Raleigh’s major venues, and with free parking, it's easy to get in and out whether you're driving yourself or catching a late-night rideshare. The full kitchen setup makes post-show snacks a breeze, and the extended-stay layout means you can settle in for a full weekend of music.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends – Spacious suites and free parking make it easy to stay together.
  • Solo travelers – Safe, quiet, and with workstations in every room.
  • Couples – Relaxing suites with sitting areas and kitchens for a cozy weekend.
  • Fans needing a recovery space – Smoke-free rooms and a calm vibe.
  • Budget-conscious travelers – Affordable rates without sacrificing space or essentials.

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant or bar, each suite has a full kitchen for cooking or heating up late-night bites. The hotel is also just a short drive from plenty of nearby diners, fast-food spots, and grocery stores. While there’s no breakfast buffet, guests love having the option to prep their own morning meal after sleeping in.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t a party hotel, but for those looking to hit the town, downtown Raleigh’s bars, breweries, and music venues are a quick ride away. Return to your suite for a chill night in after the encore.

What People Say

Guests highlight the clean, spacious rooms, the convenience of having a kitchen, and the quiet, safe environment. Many mention the friendly staff and easy check-in process, especially for those arriving late after a concert. The free parking is a major bonus, particularly for those traveling in groups or with gear.

Areas for Improvement

This hotel leans more practical than luxurious—no daily housekeeping unless you’re staying longer, and no breakfast or on-site dining. Some furnishings are a bit dated, but everything is clean and functional.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a quiet, comfortable, and budget-friendly place to crash after a Raleigh concert, MainStay Suites Raleigh North is a solid choice with space to stretch out and recharge.

Bad

Liked: Nothing.
Disliked: The absolute WORST hotel experience ever. First we showed up, there was zero mention on construction going on in the hotel. We became aware of it as we were walking to our first attempted placed room. We couldn't get into the first room or close the door without my full body force because the door was broken. We were put in a second room and it was apart of the "remodeled" rooms. However, it was still DIRTY! Stains everywhere, hair all over the bathroom floor. Tables were sticky. And the TV was wobbly/broken. Everything about this hotel was bad. On top of that, let's add that the power went out one of the nights and NOONE could get ahold of anyone at the property. No back up generators and in the middle of a heat wave. Both Booking.com and Choice hotels attempted to reach the manager. Both calls and emails were left unresponsed. Also to add, as we were in our car cooling down because it was hot in our room, some random people start fighting in the parking lot and cops came, so they do not monitor their parking lots too well considering we went back in and the person didn't even know the cops were there. To add, as a parent, I am so glad I did not have my kids with me. Look at the pictures I posted. This was just on our walk to our room! POWER tools out, drywall plastered all over the hallway floor it wasn't even safe for me to walk around in flip flops just in and out of the hotel. Oh and one more thing, it is a very unsafe feeling to see and know that the the security cameras video is at the front desk on at all times for any guest to view rather, stalk, and enjoy knowing every room guests are in... right from the couch right in the front area, anytime (unless the power is out). The video of every hallway is showing real time, rather or not there is a person at the front desk. And they rarely were, we had to call the number at the front desk and wait for someone to come to it.
