North Carolina State Fairgrounds Hotel Reviews

The StateView Hotel, Autograph Collection

Expedia Verified Review…

5 / 5

This was a beautiful hotel in a very private area of Raleigh - part of the NC State Centennial campus. We were not visiting NC State, but still found this hotel to be fairly convenient to our family that we were visiting. The one down side is that there are no restaurants closeby - you can certainly eat in the beautiful restaurant onsite but that's your only choice. The rooms were large and extremely clean and comfortable. If you are lucky enough to have a room overlooking the lake, the view is beautiful.…This was a beautiful hotel in a very private area of Raleigh - part of the NC State Centennial campus.

The property was amazing.... the only thing they could have did different was with the breakfast due to COVID-19 they didn’t let you know anything about it…
