The Mayton
Wonderful place walking distance to everything downtown, only complaint is no parking, you have to find a spot on street or around corner in a parking garage which may not work for everybody, we managed it fine.

Hilton Raleigh North Hills
The rooms were very spacious and clean. Good job cleaning ladies. My dog loved it! I would definitely stay again. The TV was glitching, but other than that, we had a wonderful time.
