When it's time to take a break from the rigors of sightseeing, unwind in the sun at Lake Johnson. Bring some nibbles and a good book ... This is the place to unwind!

This body of water in Southwest Raleigh is popular with travelers, so make a spot for it on your schedule. Don't think that's all there is to do here, though. There are a lot more places ready for you to discover after Lake Johnson. PNC Arena, North Carolina State Capitol and Crabtree Valley Mall are not far away.

The staff was courteous though the chicken progress was fairly long as they were distracted by some issues with another guests room. Our room was extremely small, much smaller than the other three rooms people in our group had but it was adequate. It could have been cleaner, there was still trash on the floor from the previous guests but overall it was comfortable. Love the location, lots of things within walking distance

We had a little trouble when we arrived bc they were over booked but they went above and beyond to fix the issue for my family. I really appreciate how they handled the situation. The male manager on site was very kind
