Hotels Near Kohl's in Wake County

Truly amazed with this hotel. Definitely will stay again. Truly had a blast with the staff who honestly enjoyed our company and entertainment. The location was off the normal path of most traveling which was convenient to no nonsense in the area.

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. It was really nice, the front desk was really nice and sociable. My only thing is cleanliness. Normally I’d check a hotel bed before lying in it but I hadn’t this time. Before I left to checkout, I was looking around to make sure I had all of my belongs and I noticed that there was vomit smeared on the side of the bedding and a little bit on the wall and nightstand. It looked as if someone had started to clean it but had forgotten to get back to it. I meant to mention it to the front desk but I was in a bit of a rush to leave. Overall though, I did love my stay. It’s a very nice affordable hotel, I can tell it had been renovated.

Lili gave Amazing service and was super attentive. Her personality was friendly as if i known her fir a while. Every morning you will see Lili and how supportive she is of any service needed. When you need anything, just ask for Lili.........

Everything was great until...... My wife and I checked in Thursday for 3 nights. Upon check in, we were taken care of by Maria. Very sweet, attentive and had us on our way in no time. Thursday night was fine. Got up and went about our business Friday morning. Came back to the hotel Friday evening, head to the room and fell asleep quick. Then came Saturday morning. My wife is disabled, and we were on the 5th floor. We got to the elevator and waited about 4 or 5 minutes, and nothing happened. I called the front desk from my personal phone (the phone in our room wasn't hooked up) Was unfortunate to get a front desk person by the name of Kwamel. Very unprofessional individual. I asked if there was a problem with the elevators. He said yes, there were not working. I asked him how we were supposed to get downstairs. He directed me to where the stairs were. I advised him that my wife is disabled and not able to walk down 5 flights of stairs. In his own charming way, he had no other answer for me. I hung up and had to help my disabled wife down 5 flights of stairs with her walker and our cooler for the day. Took us about 25 minutes to get to the bottom as my wife had to take one step at a time holding on the guard rail with both hands. I had to stand under her so she wouldn't slip and fall. When I got to the front desk, I inquired how long they would be out. My wife and I were going to be at a convention all day but obviously needed them working before we got back later that night. Mr. Personality had no idea. I inquired what we were supposed to do if we get back and they are still not working as there was NO WAY my wife could WALK up 5 flights. He was very unsympathetic and showed no compassion whatsoever. There was another rep behind the desk. She kept quiet for a while which was probably better for her. She finally asked me to come to her. She looked in her computer and long story short, if they were not fixed by the time we got back we had a room on the 1st floor waiting for us. I would just need to clear everything out of our current room which of course I would. That reps name was Karen. She was very nice, polite and showed an interest in helping us. Kwamel showed NO SIGNS to help. He just stood there with his shirt untucked and looked like it had been slept in. Instead of being part of the solution he kept telling me no. Wonder if he would have felt the same way if it was his mom or his grandma that was disabled and had to walk down 5 flights of stairs. I called Karen later in the day and was told they got 1 side working but the other wouldn't be looked at until Tuesday (holiday weekend) I am very surprised they wouldn't have someone on call 24 hours a day in case something like this happens. Doesn't say much about how much they care about their guests. Got back to the hotel at around 8PM. We were greeted by Daniel. We told him what took place that morning. He was VERY apologetic and showed much sympathy. Kwamel should really take some notes from

We love coming to hang out at this hotel! We enjoy playing pool as a family and sitting out by the fire at night.

Great gym, beautiful pool, beautiful common area, this is a really great hotel with nice amenities! They have convenient laundry for guests. The only thing missing is I wish I had been some bottled water provided in the room and I wish they had been daily turn down service, but maybe that is because of the pandemic? It was all great otherwise.

I had a fantastic experience at the Renaissance Raleigh! The accommodations were clean, modern, and provided everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful, making sure every detail was taken care of. But what really stood out to me was the incredible service from Dakota at valet. Every time I walked by, he greeted me by name and had me laughing with his great sense of humor. Dakota’s friendliness and ability to remember small details like my name really made the stay feel personalized. He went out of his way to assist me every time I needed something, and he’s truly the reason I’m leaving this positive review. The service he provided was outstanding, and he deserves all the recognition!

We stayed here for a weekday concert at the PNC Arena, a pleasant and easy 15 min walk. It is an okay midgrade chain hotel that charges for the access and convenience rather than amenities. We arrived at 5:00 and were told our room was not ready (check in is at 4:00) and got a free coke for our 20 minute wait. It seems they are suffering from lack of housekeeping help and the front desk had no idea what the housekeepers were doing. Everybody who checked in had to wait. The front desk was very friendly but did not seem to be in charge. Since the PNC Arena charges $40 for parking it seems this hotel has just added that to their room price, i.e. an overpriced room for the privilege of the walking convenience. The small bar was overwhelmed by the post concert crowd, but to the lone bartenders credit, she stayed open late (post 10:00) and kept the drinks coming. The room was large and clean after waiting a while for the lone elevator, okay HVAC, comfortable bed, but the pillows were horrible flat chunks of foam. The $10.75 breakfast (mediocre although real eggs and over cooked sausage) should have been included for the inflated room rate. It's worth paying for the convenience for the PNC but we wouldn't stay there if not for that reason. You can find the same quality for less not too far away, but then you'd have a commute and a $40 parking charge. Name your poison.

Room was spacious and very comfortable. Maid service was as-needed making it safer for staff and guests. Room (501) at end of hall was super -- quiet! Breakfasts were good and service was friendly and pleasant. Front desk was very accommodating.

My wife and I spent one night here on a Sunday at the start of October 2023. Upon arrival, we were assigned to a room on the third floor, but reaching that room, we found it was *right beside* the elevator and ice machine, directly the opposite of what my room preferences on Marriott request. So back down we went to the reception desk. The clerk there was apologetic about the assignment and amused that somehow we had been assigned exactly the opposite of what we had requested in a hotel that clearly was not full. Our next (and final) room was on the second floor, as far from the elevator and ice machine as possible. Good recovery! We gave them a 4.5 for service, with a half-point deduction for the initial bungle. Our room was large, with a sofa, desk, and large-screen TV. Bathroom was huge, as was the walk-in closet. Only ding here was that the big-screen TV was actually too large for its wallmount, making it impossible to pivot it far enough to be viewed by the far bed, and even a sharp viewing angle for the nearest bed. We gave the room a 4, mostly for its spaciousness. The mattress on the bed was adequate for my bad back without my traveling bedboard, so I gave it a 3.5. The location of the hotel, with easy off and back on for Route 1 was excellent. It is located a short distance from lots of Raleigh dining and shopping spots, so it is good. And it is far enough out of Raleigh that our departure Monday morning was unharried and easy. So location gets a 5. Breakfast Monday had small quiches that were tasty, a breakfast sandwich that was warm and good, juices, yogurts, and the like. The coffee was only average, however. This felt like a better breakfast than average, so we gave it a 4. Our one night cost us $126, which seems a good price for a nice room so near Raleigh. We gave it a 5 on value. So, to summarize: 4.5 for service, 4 for room, 3.5 for bed, 5 for location, 4 for breakfast, and 5 for value. That averages out to 4.3, so we assigned it a 4. We think this will become our new place to stay when visiting Raleigh.
