NC Raleigh-Durham Homewood Suites Durham

[TamCaP]

Very nice hotel (2.5* on PL when I booked) that I would book even for a walk-in price. And such compliment doesn't happen often.

Got it off Priceline for <$40 / night. For that I got a 2 room suite (bedroom + living room) with a kitchen annex in the living room. The staff was outstanding... OUTSTANDING. All our wishes were fulfilled and even after we stupidly left some quite expensive piece of electronics behind - after couple of phone calls it was given back to us, no problemo. 'Gym' is on the little side, pool is fine. Free parking, free internet (wifi), free breakfast (american style, nothing to write home about, except for tons freshly squeezed OJ :)). No wired internet. A self-service area with snacks and drinks next to the check-in, with great prices (no ridiculous hotel-like overpricing!). No restaurant in the building itself, but a huge mall complex nearby and 3 easily walkable-distance restaurants. Well located (next to the Interstate).

The only con: due to the design, the AC in the rooms is on the loud side :-(
