Pros: John was friendly and welcoming, and gave us an amazing review of the surrounding area restaurants and hot spots which helped us plan our night out. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the extras provided were beyond expectations (cotton balls, snacks, coffee, shampoo, qtips, iphone chargers, fans, etc.) Parking was easy.

Pros: THE STORE was a nice little boutique property located in downtown Raleigh. For business and personal travelers seeking an alternative to the cookie cutter budget chain hotel experiences, then this is your property. Very centrally located to downtown Raleigh, and a really well kept property, THE STORE is definitely worth it in comparison to chain budget hotels going for the same price. The property's owner/manager John keeps the place immaculately clean, and as a former architect has created a very cool space. Great bathroom which provided a better shower than many hotels at which I've stayed ~3-5x the price. And John also has a cool older dog, a schnauzer named Baz who gives the place a nice, homey feel. So for those in town and wish for a more personable, homey stay than you would get at a cookie cutter budget chain hotel, to more a true experience of the town, I highly recommend THE STORE.

Cons: The bathroom toilet did not want to flush. Not sure what was happening with that issue. The bartender did not greet us when we arrived. Im not sure if she didn’t see us but when we asked if she was open she just said she was “working on it.” She wasn’t friendly and seemed annoyed with us which are two qualities you definitely don’t want in a bartender so we all agreed to leave and we took our party of four next door to have drinks instead.

He offered us a room in the back of the hotel which was distant from the night life noise, which was very much appreciated as we were traveling with our 9 month old daughter and 6 year old. He was very knowledgeable and offered great insight on dining options. Our stay was great and the pool was a big hit. On our way home we realized that we left our iPad in the room, we called immediately and spoke with Josh. He went above and beyond to make sure our iPad was returned.

8.2 Excellent
Pros: Great staff! Breakfast buffet is surprisingly well-priced.
Cons: Tub/shower is major slip & fall hazard. There is a grab bar in the shower, but needs to be one on the wall outside the shower. The tub is very slick; even turning around in it is best done using the grab bar in the shower. Entering & exiting the tub is risky. Towel hook on wall outside tub was nearly pulled out of the wall, likely from people using it as a hold to exit the tub. I'm a 48-y/o, 6'2", pretty fit guy and this was an issue for me.
7.5 Good
Pros: The bed
Cons: It was very expensive and it did not have a pool and they charge for breakfast. I was there for a wedding at the hotel many of my family opted to stay else where because of the price, I did not mind it as long as I was getting luxury. But the facilities did not have a pool , and they charge extra for breakfast. My dad stayed at best western paid for the entire weekend what I paid for in a night and he got breakfast and his hotel had a pool.
