Forge at Raleigh Iron Works

Strange layout where bedroom has no windows, but it has fake windows from the living room. There's only windows in the living room. Bathroom was old and worn down, but clean. The facilities are great (gym, game room, mini outdoor pool), but the building has a strange layout.

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!

Definitely would stay here again!
