Frommer's Review
Raleigh has no shortage of hotels, motor hotels, and motels, but it has almost no inns. The Oakwood fills the vacuum; it's an inn of charm and character. Built in 1871, the Victorian building lies in the Historic District, and guests can stroll to attractions downtown. A wraparound porch evokes the best of Southern architecture in the 19th century. Leaded glass and mahogany and walnut furniture re-create a long-gone era, as do the well-kept bathrooms with showers and claw-foot tubs. The inn, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, serves the best breakfast in the area.
Facilities:
Breakfast room; lounge; nearby fitness center; nonsmoking rooms

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
