Hotels near Reader＇s Corner Inc in Raleigh

Everything was great until...... My wife and I checked in Thursday for 3 nights. Upon check in, we were taken care of by Maria. Very sweet, attentive and had us on our way in no time. Thursday night was fine. Got up and went about our business Friday morning. Came back to the hotel Friday evening, head to the room and fell asleep quick. Then came Saturday morning. My wife is disabled, and we were on the 5th floor. We got to the elevator and waited about 4 or 5 minutes, and nothing happened. I called the front desk from my personal phone (the phone in our room wasn't hooked up) Was unfortunate to get a front desk person by the name of Kwamel. Very unprofessional individual. I asked if there was a problem with the elevators. He said yes, there were not working. I asked him how we were supposed to get downstairs. He directed me to where the stairs were. I advised him that my wife is disabled and not able to walk down 5 flights of stairs. In his own charming way, he had no other answer for me. I hung up and had to help my disabled wife down 5 flights of stairs with her walker and our cooler for the day. Took us about 25 minutes to get to the bottom as my wife had to take one step at a time holding on the guard rail with both hands. I had to stand under her so she wouldn't slip and fall. When I got to the front desk, I inquired how long they would be out. My wife and I were going to be at a convention all day but obviously needed them working before we got back later that night. Mr. Personality had no idea. I inquired what we were supposed to do if we get back and they are still not working as there was NO WAY my wife could WALK up 5 flights. He was very unsympathetic and showed no compassion whatsoever. There was another rep behind the desk. She kept quiet for a while which was probably better for her. She finally asked me to come to her. She looked in her computer and long story short, if they were not fixed by the time we got back we had a room on the 1st floor waiting for us. I would just need to clear everything out of our current room which of course I would. That reps name was Karen. She was very nice, polite and showed an interest in helping us. Kwamel showed NO SIGNS to help. He just stood there with his shirt untucked and looked like it had been slept in. Instead of being part of the solution he kept telling me no. Wonder if he would have felt the same way if it was his mom or his grandma that was disabled and had to walk down 5 flights of stairs. I called Karen later in the day and was told they got 1 side working but the other wouldn't be looked at until Tuesday (holiday weekend) I am very surprised they wouldn't have someone on call 24 hours a day in case something like this happens. Doesn't say much about how much they care about their guests. Got back to the hotel at around 8PM. We were greeted by Daniel. We told him what took place that morning. He was VERY apologetic and showed much sympathy. Kwamel should really take some notes from

Checked into the Super 8 by Wyndham located at 3801 Capital Blvd, Raleigh, NC 27604 on May 31, 2022 for a 4-night stay to check out on June 3, 2022 fully paid for in advance. I then made a reservation for another night online to check out on June 4, 2022. On Saturday, June 4, 2022 I went to the Front Desk and requested that I be checked out on my prior stay and the stay Folio printed for my records. The Front Desk Manager said it is either her way or nothing. The Front Desk Manager on Duty insisted on simply extending the stay; which I asked that the prior stay be closed. First, she told me that I would have to pay additional deposit of $40; to which I reminded her that I have a deposit of $40. Next, she told me to come back by 2:00pm for the check-in; and I told her that was fine by me as I had some things to do at the nearby Green Road Public Library. You can imagine my surprise when at the Library, on opening my email I found that the Front Desk Manager had cancelled my reservation for Saturday/Sunday stay. When I got back to the Hotel; the Front Desk Manager asked me to go with a trolley to immediately remove my belongings from the room. I requested to speak to her Supervisor; a request she refused. She proceeded to the Room(322) and put my things in a trash bag(both wet & dry) - heap of mess and came downstairs and requested that I remove myself and belongings from the premises. I did and discovered that every other Hotel in the area was fully booked. Waited till 06/07/2022 to bring up the issue with the General Manager of the facility who found nothing wrong with the way I was treated. Thereafter, I decided to share my experience at the facility with the travelling public. NOT A PLACE TO GO!

Sitting in the hotel as I write this. Wifi did not work in the room. I notified the front desk last night that, as soon as I entered my room, it stopped working. The only option the front desk could offer me was to call tech support, which is not fair to the employee or the guest. It is 2023, Hilton…DO BETTER. There is no menu of any kind on the site for this hotel or any other under the Hilton umbrella, which makes it very difficult to plan for what I can eat. (I am on a restricted diet that, in part, prevents me from consuming dairy.) For lactose-intolerant guests, this presents a challenge as traveling with nondairy milk is not always a practical option. Why is there no soy, oat, etc., option available like every other place that serves breakfast? Further, where are healthier options like whole grain bagels/bread? You are a multi-billion-dollar company and offering a menu online as well as whole grain and nondairy options are not outlandish or exorbitant requests in 2023. In fact, they should not even have to be brought up—ESPECIALLY when breakfast is included (yet many guests are excluded). Finally, plastic cups at breakfast? Seriously?! I am not even going to say anything more about this. Stop worrying about executive salaries over the basic comforts of your guests. It is a true shame that your oversights clouded over what might have otherwise been a pleasant experience given the friendly staff.

I had a great time at this hotel. The only drawback was not being able to do a late checkout but it was otherwise a great place to stay.

The bed was heavenly. They have Peloton bikes in the fitness room. Only two things lacking: vegan food options, outdoor pool. I would stay here again. There are vegan food options across the street (Happy and Hale, Element - Plant-based Gastropub. And Raleigh Raw is just a couple of blocks down.).

not bad. Counting feeling

I stayed over the weekend in February & was absolutely impressed by the service I received. Check-in was quick and friendly! The breakfast was delightful. Katrina in the kitchen assisted me with all my needs. As a kitchen supervisor, to see the display and cleanliness in the breakfast/dining area at the hotel I was impressed. There was food being brought out fresh and the areas around the food were being kept clean. Katrina interacted with the guest and made us feel comfortable, almost nearly as if we were home! I would definitely recommend if you need a get away & good energy! Thanks Katrina for completing our stay!
