I recently spent five nights at the Hilton RTP while attending a business meeting at the hotel, and was pleasantly surprised having read previous reviews.
The staff were without excpetion courteous, helpful and went the extra mile to attend to my, sometimes obscure, requirements as a meeting organiser. In particular the reception staff are warm and welcoming, and have an excellent sense of humour. Maybe its the North Carolina way, but it made a pleasant change from the stony-faced indifference you get in some places.
My Standard room was comfortable, and while not luxurious had all the essentials and was in good decorative order.
The bed - complete with mattress pads and what seemed like hundreds of pillows - was great.
The breakfast buffet provides a range of hot and cold items, and seemed good value at $10. This is very cheap when you compare it with hotels in Britain. My only wish would to have seen more variety in the items provided day-to-day. The same choice every day was a little bit dull. My colleague was also disappointed that they couldn't provide him with a cappuchino - but I guess that's rare in standard US hotels. Must be a European thing.
If I had reason to visit Research Triangle Park on business, I would happily stay at the Hilton again - but its probably not the sort of place you would want to stay on vacation. Perfect for a night when passing through.
