The Clarion in downtown Raleigh has a magnificent view, especially from the top floor, where a restaurant bar are located. The restaurant is generally buffet style, featuring a different menu each day. It is affordable and usually very tasty. While the Clarion is by far not the newest hotel in Raleigh, it certainly is well-run and clean. Staff is helpful. The parking deck is spiral and attached, making parking a snap. For any stay requiring very easy access to downtown or NC State, the Clarion is a great option.
