About fifteen minutes from both RDU International as well as downtown Raleigh, the Motel 6 on Buck Jones Road is snugly placed between North Carolina’s capital as well as the city of Cary. With basic 2-star perks that include free Wifi, an outdoor pool, and the priceless commodity of quietude, the motor hotel is a solid choice for those looking to stay close to Cary while enjoying the access of downtown, or those that simply want to be less than a mile from the astounding views of Lake Johnson, located across the interstate. Whatever you’re doing in Raleigh, make sure you’re taken care of with a ride, whether it’s a private lift or casual meet-and-greet service.
Indulge in what’s close, starting with breakfast - since the Motel 6 doesn’t offer free grub, take advantage of nearby eats ranging from the fast-food burgers at Cook Out to the popular pastries at Baker’s Dozen next-door. Go for a hike afterward, taking advantage of the extra-close trails beside Lake Johnson as much as the riverside fishing at Swift Creek Bluffs Nature Preserve a couple miles south. Drive north to get to know downtown, starting with simple attractions surrounding North Carolina State, from the JC Raulston Arboretum to the annual rides & amusements at the North Carolina State Fair. End the day with a walk across the stoic sidewalks of downtown Fayetteville Street, home to a slew of local restaurants and cafes that lead up to the towering steps of the Greek-Revival rotunda known to shine in the dusk twilight.
