The hype
Staff is friendly and the cookies are great, but the aging infrastructure is showing cracks.
Doubletree By Hilton Raleigh Midtown
$105-150/ Nacht
Buchen Sie dieses Hotel, wenn You need a predictable business base near the beltline and hospital, and you have a car.
Warum Gäste es lieben
- Warm chocolate chip cookie at check-in (the brand standard holds up)
- Easy access to I-440 for zipping around Raleigh
- Free parking in a city where that's becoming rare
Kurzfassung: A standard-issue business hotel masquerading as 'Midtown' chic, currently plagued by a elevator crisis that might leave you taking the stairs.
Bewertet von @tripswithqt: I booked a quick staycation here and was pleasantly surprised by the upgrade—being a member really pays off! The room was spacious enough for the romantic setup I planned, and the staff was incredibly sweet. It’s a solid, clean spot for a couple’s getaway in Raleigh.
Was Gäste, die hier übernachtet haben, sagten
Reality check
The 'Midtown' location is technically correct but feels isolated in a corporate park; you're near everything but next to nothing.
- You have a car and want free parking
- You are visiting patients at the nearby Duke Raleigh or Rex hospitals
- You want a decent gym and seasonal pool without paying downtown prices
Sauberkeit & Instandhaltung
8
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though some reports of missed spots in corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: Mostly clean, but watch out for 'cold water' complaints on upper floors.
- Maintenance: Struggling. Broken elevators and peeling wallpaper are recurring themes.
- Linens & towels: Standard Hilton quality – crisp and clean.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells like cookies; hallways can smell a bit musty or like cleaning chemicals.

Insider-Tipps
- ✨
Ask for your warm cookie even if you check in late – they have a warmer drawer behind the desk.
- ✨
The 'Reale' restaurant is okay in a pinch, but Rey's Restaurant (a high-end steakhouse) is a hidden gem nearby for a proper meal.
- ✨
Join Hilton Honors before booking to get free WiFi (otherwise they might charge).
5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡The 'discarded syringes in flower beds' mentioned in a recent review is a concerning red flag for the grounds maintenance.
💡Water pressure on the 5th floor has been reported as weak/cold in recent stays.
💡The stairwells are reportedly where some guests 'camp out' when elevators break.
💡It's a popular spot for wedding blocks, so weekends can get rowdy in the lobby.
💡The 'balcony' rooms often just look out at the parking lot or other office buildings.
