WELCOME INN Raleigh near Walnut Creek Amphitheatre

This one is rough, under new ownership there is still definitely some growing pains. For this area I really can’t knock them too hard, wow Raleigh got freakishly expensive while I was gone guys. They provided all the soaps and towels I needed , which for this kind of a place is kind of a big deal, and I think I checked in with the owners great folks.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. Horrible management and ownership. Refuses to refund my money, regardless of the fact I didnt stay there because they were unable to accommodate. You're better off sleeping in your car.

Room was surprisingly clean. Plenty of pillows. Furniture slightly outdated and damaged (stains on chair, corner of dresser top broken, bedside lamp contained only one working bulb, phone was missing a few buttons). Plenty of towels were provided.

The roach was caught in a coffee cup and safely deposited outside. A recommended stay if you're on a budget and don't mind a tiny visitor borrowing a drink of water from your sink or shower.

Positive: "" Negative: The room smell like smoke, The breakfast area was not stocked. The computer, ATM and juice bar was out of order.
