Raleigh (RDU) to Madison (MSN)

7/10 Good! (562 reviews)

The property itself is pretty run down. The parking lot was terrible there's potholes everywhere. The bed was super comfortable. Although my TV didnt work - the wifi doesnt work down at the end of the building. I had to run a channel search just to get antenna channels. The TV is tiny too. There were people standing outside smoking cigarettes and listening to music late into the night, which doesnt really bother me but still something to note.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,001 reviews)

I arrived late… Clean room, great staff, lobby dark, room small, and parking terrible. You will really need to valet and they was expensive with an app that was less than friendly when most places give you a simple ticket. I like technology but they need a better way, fortunately, you can tell the lobby to pay. It was close to the main college strip so if that’s your goal and the above is OK for you, great. I had only one place to hang my towel and I couldn’t use it without it slipping off because the hook was partially detached from the wall

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,003 reviews)

The hotel is very dated. It needs an overhaul. Dark mustard yellow colored walls that are dirty as well. It is just an extremely dated hotel. It is on the lake so that is gorgeous. The staff is amazing. Restaurants/bar are fabulous. It just isn’t nice looking.
