Forge at Raleigh Iron Works

room was way smaller then I thought compared to the listing photo. It was more like a studio. The perks were great but the bed was horrible. Creaky and very uncomfortable. Overall it's a descent place.

The room itself was very spacious and clean - nothing to complain about here. But the check in process was terrible. I arrived (by cab) late at night after delayed flights and could not find the lock box to get my key - it wasn’t evidently sign posted. When I rang the help line they kept telling me to drive in through the car park and follow the lines. When I explained I didn’t have a car can she please tell me how to get there by foot, she kept saying “drive through the car park” obviously to me the “help desk” had a script that they read from and couldn’t deviate so we’re utterly useless. I ended up asking a random person who was exiting the building and they helped. So note to the building manager make sure your “help desk” is actually equipped to help and answer all questions!

This place was great! I was surprised when I walked in and the floors were concrete, but that actually added to the "industrial" feel of this place. The host was very responsive when I had questions about the key, and gave me some tips on how to make things more efficient for my and my guest. There are restaurants in the same complex (Mexican, Brewery, Indian, coffee, ice cream shop, etc. Also, there is a pool, and a game room that has billiards, foosball, ping pong, etc. All in all this was a great place to stay and I was very pleased. I will definitely stay here again if I am in Raleigh.

Great spot

Great area lots to do clean space
