3 Star Customer Service
Beautiful building. Beautiful room. The front desk receptionist was never there. Felt like a ghost town. We waited 15-20 minutes for a receptionist to show up upon check in. Another couple ahead of us was waiting before us and finally left the reception desk. We noticed the 4 days that we were there that the reception desk was MiA most of the time. The bell men were awkward and young. Had complimentary valet parking but bell men said that’s not a thing.

The Umstead Hotel is a 5-star hotel beyond compare. We stayed for a birthday and there was an amenity and birthday card in our room when we arrived. They specialize in exquisite service. The hotel and properties are both beautiful and immaculate. We love the pool and the spa is one of the best ever. We will return again!

Living my best life in Raleigh North Carolina
I was more than surprised 😲. Everything was beyond expectations. Staff gets a grade 100, pool, dinning, restaurant, reception desk, concierge and the hostess! Dinner at the Herion was amazing and they explained every dish as well as accommodate some dietary restrictions. If you’re in the Raleigh area choose this hotel and spa. Except no substitute!!! You want be disappointed….

Phenomenal. Proposed to my girlfriend after brunch and planned a staycation. The service provided to help make this big day extra special was fantastic. Staff did such a great job helping us celebrate and the concierge service provided by Claire, Josh, and Debra to assist with the special day was more than I could ask for.

Everything about this property was amazing. The rooms were great and the room service we enjoyed. The staff was so nice and friendly and the vibe of hotel was just relaxing. Prior to my stay they reached out to see if I needed anything or wanted to set up reservations to anything. Excellent hotel. Looking forward to going back.
