Experience Downtown Cary, NC

Want to experience downtown Cary, NC? If so, The Mayton is the ideal location. Start by observing the renovation progress on Cary’s crown jewel, the splendid Downtown Park just steps from our back door. Whether you want live music, water features, a boardwalk stroll, or just a quiet place to finish a book, this 7-acre park has it all.

Afterwards, we recommend cruising down to East Chatham Street to enjoy some of the other great downtown restaurants. Whatever your taste, we’re sure Cary has an activity just for you. Ask us at check-in, and we’ll be happy to offer ideas to make the most of any moment.
