HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS & SUITES RALEIGH DURHAM AIRPORT AT RTP BY IHG, Durham

The hotel is directly adjacent to railroad tracks, so rooms facing that side may experience train noise, especially at night. For a quieter stay, request a room on the opposite side. It is about a 15-minute drive to the Veolia PPA pickleball tour venue, and provides easy access to both Raleigh and Durham city centres. The immediate area includes fast-food options such as Wendy's within 1 km, plus more restaurant variety in the surrounding business district.

Suites include a seating area, coffee machine, microwave, mini-refrigerator, and a private bathroom with a bath or shower and hairdryer. A wet bar is available in some suites. Double rooms have one or two beds, all with carpeted floors, satellite TV, and tea/coffee-making facilities. Some units have only 1 bed; bed type preference cannot be guaranteed on arrival. While many stays report clean and comfortable conditions, occasional inconsistencies in housekeeping and maintenance have been noted: some rooms may not cool effectively even with the AC set to 15.6 °C, and pests such as ants or stink bugs have been reported.

The breakfast area includes 24-hour free coffee and is well-regarded for its variety and quality. A kid-friendly buffet is also available. There is no on-site restaurant for other meals; however, Newton's Restaurant is about 1 km away and several restaurants are nearby.

The outdoor pool is a seasonal amenity and may be closed during colder months. While many visitors enjoy the pool, its availability should be confirmed before planning a swim. No spa, hot tub, or fitness centre is on site. The shared lounge/TV area provides an indoor relaxation space.
