Thanks so much for your help. I thought the Sheraton might be the other 3.5* hotel. Since they don't accept pets, I guess I'd better go another route. I'd love to book the Hilton via the support page, but without bidding on it - it's too expensive for me! I'll definitely try to use whatever other hotel I might find from the support page. As a note - when searching the map for Raleigh-Durham (Raleigh), there is an option for a 4* hotel - don't know what it is, but thought I'd mention. JD
