  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Wow, what a surprise. Super location, incredible staff, wonderful amenities, many thoughtful touches. This is the place we will stay whenever we go to Raleigh. Highly recommended.

    We had a great first stay here! And I said first because we will definitely be returning. The room was clean, bed comfy, and the extra space was great. We had a great time in their cute retro lounge! Shout to the bar tender, Sarah, best bees knees I’ve had outside my home. Well done Longleaf!! See you soon...

    Great place to stay. The staff was great. Loved the lounge.

    I was really leased with this hotel. The rooms are somewhat small and minimally designed, but that should be expected with an older, renovated property with mid-century mod style. The room was really well appointed though - lots of good options from the mini bar/room amenities. Where they really kill it is with the lounge area. The patio was gorgeous, the cocktails were high quality, and the morning coffee was better than I usually expect from hotel coffee. My ONLY complaint is that the dumpsters were emptied in the middle of the night so I was awoken to the loud sound of glass clattering despite my brown noise machine, which was slightly disappointing.

    Lovely hotel thank you !!

    Housed inside a hotel that absolutely oozes character, The Lounge at the Longleaf holds its own and then some. The space is effortlessly charming, with a retro-cool vibe that feels authentic rather than manufactured. The biggest surprise was the bar program. The bartender was a far better mixologist than you might expect from a hotel lounge, turning out cocktails that would be right at home in many of Raleigh's dedicated cocktail bars. It's easy to see why both hotel guests and locals seem to gravitate here. In an era where so many hotel bars feel like an afterthought, The Lounge feels like a destination in its own right. Between the welcoming atmosphere, quality drinks, and undeniable character, it's hard not to fall for this place. I can't say enough good things about The Lounge or the Longleaf Hotel itself. Both are a breath of fresh air.....preferably enjoyed with a cocktail in one hand and a beer chaser in the other.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Sweet area within walking distance of so many places. Fantastic bar staff and it was filled with locals which gave me a comfortable feeling. Everyone was friendly. I orderedGrub Hub from a Mexican restaurant. it was fast,affordable and so good! Seaboard Station and so many places are very nearby. Very retro and quaint!

    Room smelled like wet carpet. Very basic. Pillows uncomfortable. Nicely decorated. Parking was a plus. Nice cocktail bar.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Perfect location for walking

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Loved the vibe. Loved the bar and free coffee in the morning on their cutie patio. Some cleaning details could be hit in the rooms. Washing the walls/doors. Loved the location. Staff was great. Room was cutie. If we needed to be in that Merrimon-Wynne area again I’d likely stay there.

    The price, people, and place! I would have preferred a coffee maker in the room

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    If you would like a nice, retro, simple affordable one/two night stay, w/a cool front end lounge HIGHLY recommend...
