So, my parents are coming up Thursday to stay the night and take care of me on Friday, when I'm getting surgery. I have absolutely no idea what is out there apart from google.com

Any great places? Places to avoid?

what hospital?

For graduation, my parents stayed at the place across the street from the RBC Center (behind Backyard Bistro) but I can't remember the name of it. It seemed like a pretty nice place and pretty close to Rex if that's where you are having the surgery.

dnl got the hookup on hotels

10/5/2009 11:11:33 PM

there are a ton of hotels around here. what hospital, Rex?

10/5/2009 11:14:24 PM

I recommend Candlewood Suites to everyone I know. They are awesome. Super clean, super professional, full kitchen in every room, laundry facilities, gym, business center, there's also a "store" based on the honor system where you can buy lots of stuff, including all sorts of food at regular price.

There is one right near Crabtree Valley Mall, ~ 7 minute drive to Rex; also one in Cary near Crossroads.

Do not let them stay on New Bern Avenue or Capital Boulevard; both are pretty ghetto and most hotels are old.

I recommend Candlewood Suites over by Crabtree Valley Mall (Lead Mine Road). I just stayed there back in August for a few days as I was in Raleigh for a mini-vaca. The hotel is very clean and the staff is super nice; they also have a free business center with computers and printing ability all for free. There is also free wireless throughout the whole building which is very convenient as well. I don't know if these will matter for your parents but they are still nice perks to have.

Also, the hotel over by RBC (behind Backyard Bistro) is Comfort Suites. I have stayed there as well; very nice rooms and again it was clean and maintained really well. My only issue with this place was that it was a lil out of the way from everything; but even that is preferred by some people.

What is a good hotel recommendation for a younger alum coming up for the homecoming game?

I plan to take my g/f to the game v. Maryland homecoming weekend and probably will get a hotel room v. just bumming on a buddy's couch.

Want something affordable but not a hole in the wall.

My parents usually stay in the Holiday Inn on Dillard Drive.

I've stayed at the Red Roof Inn on Walnut st before, it's alright.

My parents have also stayed at Candlewood Suites and reported very good things.

Thanks for the suggestions! They will be taking me from my apartment to the hospital, so the location of the hotel is kinda irrelevant I guess. Getting the surgery done at Blue Ridge Surgery Center.

What are you having done?

10/7/2009 7:58:02 PM

I tore my ACL and stretched my LCL playing football.

10/7/2009 11:04:26 PM

The Hampton Inn on Chapel Hill Rd. is pretty good.

10/8/2009 7:44:33 PM

^That's where my uncle stays.

10/8/2009 8:01:50 PM

you would think your parents could choose their own accomodations
