Marriott Raleigh Durham Research Triangle Park

"My first time visiting Raleigh and staying at this Marriott. I was given a really bad room next to the elevator. You can hear everyone's conversations, steps on the floor, my neighbors blasting the news channel on full volume. Above my bed was probably the central sewage pipes and it was not pleasant hearing that sound every 4-5 minutes. I had to request an engineer to fix the sink because it would overflow - same thing happened to my coworkers room. I'm grateful for Mark hearing me out and moving me to a better room. I was also disappointed to find that every snack I picked up in the lobby store was expired. I notified the staff but it doesn't seem like they changed any of the items. Chips - candies - breakfast bars etc. I am not sure I want to consider a Marriott membership after this experience. Also numerous cars were broken into so I don't recommend leaving anything in your vehicle and/or parking close to the front if available."

"The Marriott Raleigh Durham Research Triangle Park located at 4700 Guardian Dr Durham, NC 27703 has been beautifully redecorated/modernized, and is a quality place to stay. Staff are helpful and friendly, the location is great, and there is a parking lot outside. Parking costs $10 daily. The TV in the room is gigantic, almost too big for the room, however the channels change very, very slowly - but it’s still great. There was an annoying hum that was pretty loud, but that’s what the A/C / Heat does when on. There IS A SOLUTION to the annoying hum in the rooms - put a rubber mat underneath the refrigerator, or take it out of the cabinet as it greatly echoes the sound of the motor. It’s extremely annoying as it’s loud!!! Is silent on the carpeted floor. Bed is comfortable! I invite you to follow my reviews as I have over 38 Million views to my photos/reviews here.

"Words cannot express my appreciation for the staff (and cleanliness) of this property. It looks dated on the outside, but once you step foot in the front door, the renovations will lead you to believe this is a new hotel. I was in town for less than ideal reasons and the staff here made certain I was comfortable and had everything I needed (including when I had to extend my stay at the last minute). The staff also went above and beyond by making sure I received a package to my home that was supposed to be delivered to the hotel during my stay."

"Cherry at the front desk was AMAZING - simply her personality and being. This hotel is lucky to have her. In regards to the hotel, it was clean, updated, and way better than I expected - honestly! Bar had great drinks. I didn't eat there. Carolina football team there Friday night. Wish I had brought my swim suit. Indoor pool and hot tub looked great. Enjoy!"

"The service at this Marriott is always excellent. Staff is super friendly and helpful and prompt. They redid the lobby restaurant recently with a very nice upgrade. Again, the bartenders and staff are excellent and lots of fun. I had the fish tacos for dinner which were pretty good. The rooms are straightforward, but the bathrooms have been upgraded recently and the TV works simply, no need to navigate for 10 minutes. There is a gym and other accessories. It's not a high scale place but it checks all the other boxes. The location is nice right off of route 40."
