Hampton Inn Raleigh North: A Review

I recently had the opportunity to stay that the Hampton Inn Raleigh North and am pleased to say that my stay was consistent with what I expect from Hampton Inns: a clean room, good service and an affordable price.

The hotel is located just south of the 440 beltline on Wake Forest Road. It is located approximately 13 miles/20 minutes from Raleigh/Durham International Airport in Morrisville. It is difficult to see the airport from Wake Forest road, as it is set at the top of the hill and hidden by trees. When heading South on Wake Forest Road, take a right on to Wake Towne Drive and follow the road up the hill to the second hotel on the right.

The Hampton Inn Raleigh North has a AAA diamond rating of three and participates in the Hilton Honors program.

Arrival and check in:

I arrived at the hotel on Friday at about 7pm. The check in was smooth and uneventful. The front desk clerk was friendly and accommodating and the check in was went quickly enough. The staff was also very helpful in assisting me with finding a locksmith after I locked my keys in my car. There was plenty of parking in the parking lot, and I was able to park my car close to the front and side entrances.

The Room:

I was impressed with the room I stayed in. The king sized bed had an extremely comfortable looking, fluffy down comforter which was just as comfortable to sleep with as it looked. The room was clean and bright and had a tray on the bed with snacks, which was a nice treat.

The amenities in the room, ones that are typically expected in a hotel, were all present except wireless internet access. I have, in past experience, been accustomed to being able to have wireless access, and this particular Hampton Inn did not have it, which was a bit of a disappointment. The cord to get on to the internet was long enough to reach over to the bed, which made it still easy enough to get online, but the connection started out very slow and stayed that way all evening. The connection I had in the morning was much better. There was no cost for getting online which was helpful.
