This was a quaint little hotel. It was surprisingly super quiet at night. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. We had a couple of drinks down at the hotel bar (bartender was friendly and gave us suggestions for dinner). We were able to walk to a really good Italian place for dinner. I would stay again if passing through Raleigh. The staff was very friendly at check in and check out.

Wonderful little hotel that is now our go-to when in the area. Rooms are very nice and the bar/patio are a great place to end the day. We are dog owners and appreciate the pet friendliness, our only suggestion is to figure out a way to have a more accessible “pet friendly” spot of grass for furry guests!

This was a perfect place for our needs. We needed dog friendly and they are super dog friendly. They gave our dog a bandana and dog treats and even offered dog bowls, if you needed them. The style of this hotel was amazing. Super comfy rooms and beds. Clean and staff is great. It was convenient walk to many things to do, but also easy drive to Coastal Credit Union Amphitheater (Walnut Creek). We would absolutely stay here again for our trips to Raleigh.

Bestie and I came here as a halfway to meet. The management & staff were so accommodating in allowing an early check-in. As a vintage hotel, the rooms were amazing, having updated beds, bathrooms, lounge areas, yet keeping the nostalgic vibe of a 60’s motel. We loved the close proximity of nearby bars/dining and enjoyed a cocktail at their amazing bar as well. We will definitely meet here again for our next girls’ night!

Check in was great with lovely staff. There was a cool bar area but we did not drink there. It was a quiet room on the backside. We walked to go eat and there is a Publix near by.

Quaint hipster hotel had some charm and was adequately clean, but overall, the place was very light on amenities, cramped, and offered essentially no additional value. No breakfast, no ice machine, only bags of ice available on one floor (not ours). Also not the greatest location. Not a terrible experience, but more mediocre, especially for the price.

Great staff- seem really happy to be there and helpful. Spacious rooms, really clean bathrooms with great product. Comfortable bed. Weird smell in the hall but could be due to the insane rain. They didn’t clean the room. I assume it’s because we didn’t put the tag on the door asking which is not usually how that goes in hotels, so that was a bummer after a long day away from the room, but not a deal breaker. Just a heads up. Cool vibe overall and great lounge. Would stay here again.

This not a hotel, it’s a no frills motel. The room was clean but it was a very basic room. I’ve never been to a “Hotel”that doesn’t even give you a box of tissues. It took a minute to find the small pack of tissues that looked like a bar of hand soap. The floor lamp was so dim you couldn’t even tell if it was on in the dark. It was fine for a night but not an extended stay. The location was great if you are looking to be downtown.

I was really leased with this hotel. The rooms are somewhat small and minimally designed, but that should be expected with an older, renovated property with mid-century mod style. The room was really well appointed though - lots of good options from the mini bar/room amenities. Where they really kill it is with the lounge area. The patio was gorgeous, the cocktails were high quality, and the morning coffee was better than I usually expect from hotel coffee. My ONLY complaint is that the dumpsters were emptied in the middle of the night so I was awoken to the loud sound of glass clattering despite my brown noise machine, which was slightly disappointing.

Housed inside a hotel that absolutely oozes character, The Lounge at the Longleaf holds its own and then some. The space is effortlessly charming, with a retro-cool vibe that feels authentic rather than manufactured. The biggest surprise was the bar program. The bartender was a far better mixologist than you might expect from a hotel lounge, turning out cocktails that would be right at home in many of Raleigh's dedicated cocktail bars. It's easy to see why both hotel guests and locals seem to gravitate here. In an era where so many hotel bars feel like an afterthought, The Lounge feels like a destination in its own right. Between the welcoming atmosphere, quality drinks, and undeniable character, it's hard not to fall for this place. I can't say enough good things about The Lounge or the Longleaf Hotel itself. Both are a breath of fresh air.....preferably enjoyed with a cocktail in one hand and a beer chaser in the other.

It was a good place to say for the evening. I’ve stayed at more enjoyable places, but I’ve stated a lot less enjoyable places as well. It seemed like they clean very well. It looks like an older place that was remodeled and not too distant past. Staff was friendly, the coffee was pretty good. When it was in a great location within walking distance from the museum. It wasn’t the Hyatt, but I definitely stay again, no complaints.

We recently stayed at the Longleaf Hotel and overall had a great experience. The property is very well maintained and beautifully updated while still paying homage to the hotel's original 1950s character and charm. The rooms and common areas felt thoughtfully designed, clean, and inviting.

My only real complaint was the check-in experience. The receptionist seemed overwhelmed when we arrived and came across as somewhat snippy and unpleasant. We arrived about 20 minutes before the official check-in time, and although our rooms were already ready, we were told there would be a $25 fee to check in early. Rather than pay the fee, we went out for coffee and returned at 3:00 PM.

Guests should also be aware that there is a $25 per night parking fee, despite parking being in the hotel's own lot.

Aside from those issues, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the unique blend of modern comfort and vintage charm that makes the Longleaf stand out.

I was already excited to experience this stay, but once I arrived it was even better than I expected. The room was very clean and had a bonus of well-thought out decor, giving it charm. The ease of parking, checking-in and out, andgetting to the room made it very pleasant. It's also great for being within walking distance to common areas downtown. There is also a lovely, fun and relaxing bar (and cafe-like spot) and lobby or common area to hang out in, during the day or evening. What tied this great experience all together was the exeptional service of all the staff and in particluar, Delaney. They all went well-above what could have been expected, with what seemed out of the goodness of their hearts. I would definitely recommend staying here and will the next time I get the opportunity!

Helpful and friendly staff. The natural science museum, restaurants and pullen park are at a walking distance. I found it curious that they have a fridge with pre packed ice in the lobby, but it was convenient. Their coffee at the lobby was fairly good.

Delaney was a delight at the front desk - she was very friendly and helpful directing me to walkable places to eat and to go. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the location was peaceful and quiet but close enough to some of the busier downtown attractions and restaurants. There were also snacks and drinks available in the room and fridge that were not obscenely overpriced. Great stay - will come back and stay there again.

My stay was fine. Room was clean but shower was old. Staff was friendly and efficient. Know that a train can be heard from inside certain rooms. It was a great location downtown for the event I attended.

I like small hotels that make me feel safe and comfortable. Homy. High quality amenities; towels, pillows, sheets, bedding. Got a good sleep in quiet room in spite of traffic around the area. Good coffee and pastries were surprising treats for breakfast. Terrace was small but nicely designed. Details and quality matter to me. Good location and the price is right. I will stay again and recommend to my friends.

This property is a gem! Great walk ability! We went to a show at the Red Hat Amphitheater and it was so convenient! The speakeasy was comfortable and inviting and the room was too! Would definitely recommend to others and stay again! I wish more of these old motels were restored!

Great location and staff. It’s an old hotel and unfortunately it smells old. The rooms are basic, my room has several stains on the shades, tables showering extensive wear and tear.?I was expecting something vintage, and the bar and patio is. But

Over priced. Specifically booked this property to hang out during the day on the outdoor patio area but that was closed from 1-5pm because a private party had it. You can’t charge $375 a night and then block access to the only cool part of your property.
