Wingate By Wyndham

This hotel was nice for the pricing I paid. I paid $ 61.00 a night! My best friend and I came here to determine if NC is a place for relocation. When we arrived the staff at the front desk– a lady in her mid 40’s was very pleasant and nice. She provided us with an early check in and was helpful. She did not have to allow it but she did some work for us. All the staff here is nice and helpful. The morning staff was a younger lady and she told us about tours they give in this area and some places to look for relocation.
About the facility itself: 4 floors, one elevator that works, small hot tub, very small workout room (very very small). Pool is outside!
The breakfast is good for what’s included. We had bacon, tots, eggs, muffin, toast, bagels, coffee, juice, cereal, and the Infamous waffle maker :)
The Rooms on the 4^th floor were clean, bathroom nice size. Our shower curtain was ripped and a little dark Around rings. Toilet flushes loud, AC works great, pillows sucked. This is something nice for a last minute trip, weekend trip, etc. I never stayed at wing ate before. I always normally stay at Hampton, Hilton, Marriott, etc. So this was okay to what I’m normally use to.
Location– this is the reason for a the 4 stars. Honestly I didn’t know where I wanted to stay I. Raleigh and I had a coupon for this hotel so I booked it. It’s by a gas station, Walmart about 15 minutes away (24 hour one), some local restaurants. However there are pan handlers and escorts on Capital Blvd. the hotel is behind capital Blvd so not much interaction with escorts but you can tell by the area it’s not the best. I suggest to try it but also stay near north Raleigh or Cary area :)

Surprisingly very happy with this hotel! Came to North Carolina for a Janet Jackson concert at the Walnut Creek Amphitheater. Hotel is about 20 minutes from the venue. So easy drive for out of town people looking to visit for a concert. For $ 89 I had a double bed room non smoking, one night. (Thursday Night) Not sure about the prices for the weekend. The room was very basic but this is what I wanted. A room were the air condition worked and no pest. The price included opportunity to use their business room (free printing), gym, and hot tub. They offer a continental breakfast, which include fix your own waffle, which is also included in your stay price. Check with staff for breakfast hours they tend to change.
This hotel did team up with a bus service to get patrons to the concert without having to use their cars. A little pricey but I was impress that they looked out for the patrons who wanted to have fun and drink. Whenever I visit NC I’m going to check here first and tell my friends!

We checked in on a Saturday and checked out on Monday. The hotel was very clean, the bed was so comfortable, and the staff was very friendly. We have to make a trip back this weekend and will definitely be staying at this hotel again.

Horrible experience!!! I checked in with my husband and two children. We got to our room late at night only to find hair in the bed and a used condom in the floor. My young son was reaching down to pick it up, thank God I stopped it. Do not stay here!!! Sadly enough I am also an employee of this company and that is not at all our standard!!! Wingates are always nice/​this location is disgusting!

Probably the worst hotel we have ever stayed in. My husband was greeted at check in with «what you want man», not nearly enough parking, noise level was ridiculous, the smoke detectors had been removed, there were large gaps and broken parts of ceiling tiles, and we shared our rooms with a variety of flying insects. If I could give it 0 stars, I would.

Thought I checked in through hotels. com with a rate of $ 75 for king sized bed with sofa but when I got here they didn’t have a reservation for us. The front desk clerk said they’ve had trouble with
many times. I tried canceling with hotels. com and they told me it’s non refundable and that their policy was that they couldn’t transfer me to a supervisor. Of course I was angry and told them that since they didn’t make my reservation with the Wingate that it shouldn’t be a problem to cancel! They finally did cancel and the Wingate said they would give me the same rate promised bc they don’t want to lose me as a customer! The hotel is clean and they have all the amenities you could ask for + outdoor pool, jacuzzi, fitness center and free breakfast!

Unilocaler/​other half Laura P and I spent a splendorous three nights at the majestic Wingate by Wyndham.
When we arrived late on our first night, we were greeted by a kind front desk employee whose name-​tag read «Nighttime Auditor.» Though I am unsure what to make of his title, he was kind none the less. He explained their spa (which was one Jacuzzi in a room) was not in operation because there was a crack in it from the cold. Their gym and office center (a room with a printer and three computers) were open for guests ²⁴⁄₇.
The room was furnished with an mini-​fridge ready to accept alcohol and mac & cheese leftovers (with a microwave to heat it). It was very spacious for the price, which might I say was just as much as local motels, but FAR superior. Couldn’t believe the deal we got.
On our first day we went downstairs to ask the front desk what we might do in Raleigh, North Carolina. The front desk employee’s eyes subsequently grew 20x their original size as a shock seized her body. We hypothesize that she has never been asked such a question.
We went on our merry way and had lots of fun; when we returned we wanted to watch a movie. The rooms are peculiarly unequipped with video on demand service which is a staple of any hotel. They, in contrast, have one Blu Ray player they rent out to guests with a list of movies to rent from them. It is $ 10 per day and you get one free rental with that (plus a free pack of popcorn). We chose a Rush Hour/​Rush Hour 2 double feature. The checkout list was sparse, I suppose no one rents their Blu Ray player.
The wifi was deplorable, but I was luckily not there for business so it didn’t matter much. However if I was, it would have been a terrible pain in the pass. The wifi was free, but hardly functional.
Our room had a magnificent view of an unkempt field. At one point we witnessed two men scurrying across it, disappearing into the woods. We can only imagine the adventure they were embarking on.
All in all, we had a blast at Wingate, serenaded by the words of Andy Stanley in the moonlight.

Unilocaler Ben Y. and I stayed here for three nights while visiting the Raleigh area on a spur-​of-​the-​moment Valentine’s Day weekend trip to Raleigh. We booked it through Expedia and were told we booked one of the last rooms available.
After a long, traffic-​filled drive, we finally say the Wingate on the horizon. We pulled in, quickly checked in, and scurried to the room to unpack and unwind. The man at the front desk was friendly and told us we had access to the gym, the «business office» and that unfortunately, the spa/​whirlpool was not working because of a cracked tile from an earlier storm.
The hotel itself is very homey inside. It has a nice size dining area for the complimentary breakfast served every morning and is decorated with things that remind you of home. The size of the hotel itself is not huge, but it’s not small either. So I guess that means it’s medium sized.
The room was very spacious and had a random view of an open field. The queen beds seemed to be on the smaller side and felt more like full sized beds, but they were decently comfortable. There were a bunch of mirrors and the bathroom was a nice size, too. One of the best perks of the room was the microwave on top of the mini-​fridge! Rarely have I seen a microwave in a room, and let me tell you, it came in handy! The TV was a nice big screen and there was a cute little TV Guide book for that week’s TV line up.
The TVs in the rooms don’t have DVD players or some sort of pay-​per-​view, but the hotel offered and interesting deal: for $ 10, you can rent a BluRay player and choose from a long list of DVDs, plus you get a free bag of popcorn. We obviously went with this deal and got a double feature of Rush Hour and Rush Hour 2.
The main woman who worked at the front desk during our stay was what people talk about when they say «southern hospitality.» She was very friendly!
Other fun features: there are updated weather reports printed and hung in the elevators, free wi-​fi, Neutrogena soaps and an amazing location (so close to downtown Raleigh and on its own road of many stores and places to eat) among other things.
Let’s talk about location for a second. It’s all about location, and the location of this Wingate is prime. It’s not in the center of the city, which is a plus in my opinion because you avoid all the loudness and hustle/​bustle of the city, but it’s a seven minute drive straight down one road to get there. It is also located by TONS of restaurants and stores, including a Rite Aid a block away, a CVS, two pawn shops, Phở’s Japanese, Ollie’s superstore of everything random, and tons of other places.
Ben and I really enjoyed our stay at the Wingate and would highly consider returning to it if we ever considered returning to Raleigh!

Check-​in was smooth. No noise in the hallways. Room was pretty large with a mini fridge and a sofa area. Overall experience was just ok. The window treatments were weird; the heavy shade did not extend to cover the window, so a lot of light got through the simple white curtain. Breakfast wasn’t that great, I have had better at other hotels with more options. Jacuzzi was great one day, but did not get hot the second day. Also it closed early at night and did not open until 9 or 10 AM. HBO was listed on the channel guide but we couldn’t get it on our tv, and when we asked about it the front desk person was nice, but not helpful. Everything was clean, but the window issue, our fridge was too loud so we had to unplug it, the breakfast, and the HBO and Jacuzzi issues, I’ll try some place else before I come back.

Free wifi! Good hotel. Not fancy but, worth the price I paid. If you book on
you will get a good deal. I am usually reluctant to pass on websites but, we called the front dest on Saturday morning and they quoted $ 89. My wife found the website and got a room with 2 double beds for $ 59.
The location is great, lots of restaurants close by, shops and whatnot…
Room was clean and quiet, 4^th floor is the place to be if they have rooms. We were overlooking the pool but, it was high enough that we did not hear any noise. Pool closes at 10 pm anyway. Bed was comfortable, my only regret was not bringing my own pillow. I hate hotel pillows…
Room was supplied with mini fridge, iron and board, alarm clock, cordless phone, standard box tv with 60 plus channels, desk and chair, safe, comfy chair and plain table chair.
I think I just found the place I will stay every time I am in town.
All in all a bargain for the price compared to similar priced hotels

My second stay at this particular location.
Nothing to complain about and all compliments coming from me. Front staff were professional and courteous. Room was modern and well-​kept.
Will definitely be back…

My wife and I stayed here one night. It wasn’t dirty or unsafe, and upon first glance looks just fine, but a closer inspection reveals a bit of wear around the edges. The room was large and well-​appointed, including two comfy chairs with ottomans and a coffee maker (VERY important to me!), and everything functioned as designed. It did have a fridge in the room, so your nibbles will stay fresh and your box of Target wine will stay chilled. Breakfast was adequate — no made-​to-​order quiche, but plenty of fruit, baked goods, yogurt and juices to get you rolling.
This hotel is nothing spectacular, but I would have no qualms about staying here again, or about recommending it to a friend or fellow Unilocaler. Sleep tight!
