This hotel is located on Ashville Ave. but it should be on Elm Street because it was a NIGHTMARE! There were out of order signs throughout the hotel (only one operating elevator, one working ice machine in the entire place, no milk dispenser at breakfast, no working computer in the business center…).
The owner should be ashamed to operate this property under the Hampton Inn name - it definitely does not meet the standard. It is worn and dated with peeling, delaminated chairs, stained and tattered carpet throughout, holes in walls, furniture that looks like someone took a hammer to it, and an odd smell that hits you when you walk through the front doors.
The absolute worst part of our experience was the pot-smoking sex worker who set up shop in the room across from ours on our second night. It was extremely loud with multiple guests coming and going, and the overwhelming smell of marijuana hit you as soon as you stepped off of the elevator on our floor. Multiple guests complained to the front desk but nothing was done - the person in this room was allowed to stay another night and the marijuana smell permeated that whole wing of the 3rd floor again the next morning.
To summarize my review - if you have an enemy, you should highly recommend this property to them. If you have a loved one, do everything in your control to prevent them from walking through the front doors of the Hampton Inn Raleigh/Cary.
