What guests think

AC Hotel by Marriott Raleigh North Hills draws praise for its modern, clean feel and welcoming staff, with a highly walkable North Hills location near abundant dining and shopping, plus a popular rooftop bar that creates an energetic, social atmosphere.

Rooms feel contemporary but can be small, with open vanity layouts, limited storage, and dim lighting, and several reviews mention noise from the rooftop bar, nearby streets, or thin walls. Facilities get mixed feedback: the gym is appreciated, but there's no pool or microwaves, valet parking can be costly despite nearby garages, and a few maintenance issues (leaks, showers, HVAC, water pressure) were reported. Dining on site centers on the Level7 rooftop bar, which guests find fun but inconsistent, and breakfast space and selection appear limited. Expect a stylish, lively, walkable base rather than a quiet retreat.

It was suitable for why we were there. The room was small but looked new. There was a lot of hair on the walls, surfaces, & floor, though. It got cleaned up on the 2nd day (I swept a lot off into the towels to be washed). I was really shocked by the amount, though. I don't see how it was missed. I don't like rain showerheads; so, I'm glad I could turn it off and use only the handheld/wall mounted showerhead. There was barely any water pressure, though (not noticeable with the rain showerhead thanks to gravity). The bracket that was meant to hold the handheld/mounted showerhead in place and allow adjustments didn't do either. I had to get creative. The gym was very nice but I didn't have time to use it. I was really hoping for a pool but there isn't one. The rooftop lounge was great but the outdoor patio attracted very large roaches at night (after most people left). The staff was very friendly, though! Even the extremely busy bartenders had great personalities!

Second time staying here. Love that the floors are a hard surface rather than old dirty carpet. Rooms are nice and clean and quiet. Love having a cocktail on the top floor bar and good breakfast in the morning. Staff is very nice and friendly. Love having the snack shop open all night at the front desk. Lobby smells so good too. Capital Grill across the street has the best steaks and food and wine!

Beware of parking. Free, but the valet sign says you need to see them before checking in. They change $30 per night when you can easily park across the street in a safe garage.

Property was nice and clean. I could’ve done without the AC unit in the room though. I’ll have to ask if that’s an option for room choice. Also, Level7 was the worst. Not clean and the drinks were horrible.

Check in was average, what we should expect but nothing more. As a platinum member, no recognition which may be a hotel.com issue. No housekeeping and when I called the front desk at 3pm to ask for service, they casually stated that housekeeping was gone for the day. They advertise peleton bikes without mentioning that the bikes are not hooked up to WiFi!! We checked out at 10am and got a call while at the airport at 11am offering us a complimentary breakfast for our inconvenience. Also, almost forgot to mention how awkward the bathroom set up is with the vanity sink in the bedroom. Would not stay here again !

Hotel was clean & all the staff we encountered was friendly and helpful. The room it's self was a lot smaller than we expected with only a sliding glass door for the powder room which didn't feel very private. Road noise was also an issue. Sounded like motorcycles going up and down the street at all hours of the night. Also, be prepared to pay $30 to valet your vehicle. There is no other parking.

Absolutely overpriced and terrible hotel, wish I could have cancelled the reservation. Rooms are tiny, layout is awful with the vanity in the middle of the room, and the vanity was badly cracked and in need of replacement. Mattress was horribly soft and the duvet was paper thin and felt very cheap. This is not worth 270usd per night, not even close

Our air conditioning will not turn on. It was on when we arrived, and I turned the thermostat down because the room was chilly. When we went to bed I turned it back up and it has not engaged. The temperature is set to 65 and the screen says cool, but the temp in the room is reading 75. I would calm the desk but I do. It want to wake my son. This is pretty miserable. I have followed instructions per the owner’s manual online and watched you tube videos, and still the room is not cooking.

The lighting in the room was not sufficient, even you turned on all the lights in the room. When you try to get more natural lighting by opening the curtain, then people from the outside can actually see you in the room. Facing the hotel is another building very close, with parking garage where people can park their cars and literally see you in your room, what happened if you feel like changing your clothes in your room and not your bathroom. You should be able to do it without being afraid people can see you naked.

Service and cleanliness is great. Small room for the pricing. Parking was not the best unless you want to pay for valet parking. The lighting in the room is very dull. Including the bathroom lighting just not very bright. And if you want to open the curtains there is zero privacy from the building directly across from you.

The hotel was nice & if you want to stay somewhere that has places to walk to such as restaurants, ice cream shop, bars, etc. this is the place to be. If you want to sleep soundly at night, this is not the place. This hotel has a rooftop bar so ppl come here solely for that. Ppl also love blasting their car’s speakers when pulling up to wait for valet. No complaints about the hotel at all. Just know what you’re getting into before you book it.
