Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Raleigh-Durham Airport, NC

5/5 Excellent

"I stayed here with my wife and 2 young children the night before a flight. Very close to airport with free shuttle to and from, and only $10/day to leave your vehicle there. Room was comfortable and clean, great shower pressure, ac worked. Left before breakfast hours, but sure that was sufficient. Staff was friendly and accommodating. More than likely will use this hotel again for future early morning flights. "
