I've stayed here several time since i opened, but the new rooms are great and a needed change. the staff was okay just not exceptional. It is a hassle getting in and out due to the median, but a short trip towards town and a u-turn will get you back out towards Garner and a good selection of restaurants. It's... More

Driving to-from hotel a bit of a hassle, but worth it. Place undergoing renovation. I got a newly renovated room- less than 30 days old. Fantastic, except ice machine not working. Flat screen TV, refrigerator, microwave, new mattress & bed linens, great writing desk, free wi-fi. They offer breakfast, but not really worth thinking about- undrinkable coffee and a paper... More

I usually stay at the Red Roof Inn in Cary, but decided to try the South Saunders location due to the convenient location for my business needs. When I arrived a bit early the Hotel staff was very helpful in locating a clean room so I could do some internet related work in the late afternoon. The newly renovated rooms... More

We made a last minute trip to the Raleigh Performing Arts Center and wanted an inexpensive, convenient location to spend the night . This Red Roof is it! Straight shot to downtown; near an Inter-State; gas stations; food and the NCSU campus. They are almost done with renovations. We stayed in the king room with fridge, microwave. No hair dryer...

This Red Roof Inn makes for a nice north-south driving stop-over. Prices are reasonable, pets stay free, and the hotel is well-maintained. Staff are also quite friendly and accomodating. We used the Red Roof Inn in Cary (7 miles to the west) on our return trip - the Cary location is newly-renovated & $15-20 cheaper per night.

This is a clean,quiet and comfortable hotel. Jason and staff will help make your stay great. There are many choices for food delivery, but nothing within walking distance. The convention center is about 1 1/2 miles away.
