La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Raleigh Durham Intl AP

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is older, definitely could use some renovations especially in the rooms. Overall we had a great stay. The check in was smooth and getting to our room was easy to find and the beds were really comfortable. The AC ran a little loud but it got the room cool. The bathroom was clean but definitely could tell it has seen better days. The breakfast options were decent, it had a few options but we definitely did not leave hungry. We would stay here again."
