Food and Drink Options

You’ll find a free grab-and-go breakfast every morning — think breakfast bars, muffins, hot cereal, and coffee — which hits the spot after a late night. While there’s no on-site restaurant, your in-room kitchenette (with fridge, stovetop, microwave, and toaster) gives you total control over late-night snacks. Plus, the hotel is near Crabtree Valley Mall, so dining options are just a few minutes away.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself is quiet and doesn’t offer live entertainment, you’re a short Uber or drive away from Raleigh’s buzzing bar and music scene. Catch a set downtown, then retreat to your peaceful room for the night. Win-win.
