I live in Raleigh and would be glad to help you with advice here. Are you wanting to stay in downtown Raleigh? The reason I'm asking is you might do better with PRICELINE. If you can be more specific about what you're wanting, I'd be happy to advise. Otherwise, I will back off and let the pros here at Better Bidding answer your question. Either way, I hope you have a good experience here in our growing city.

Greetings,

Yes, any help is welcome. I have meetings at the General Assembly, The North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, as well as an office complex at 901 N West Street. A centrally located hotel would be beneficial.

Take care!

I see that you're looking for a downtown Raleigh location. Do you have transportation? That could make a huge difference here, because HOTWIRE and PRICELINE in Raleigh really don't differentiate between downtown and other nearby areas. That said, I cannot identify this hotel. If I were you I'd go to Priceline and bid for a 3 1/2 star which could possibly get you the Sheraton or Marriott in downtown. Depending on the zones, though, it could also get you the North Raleigh Hilton or the Marriott at Crabtree...all of which are decent hotels, but might not be convenient if you don't have transportation.

My best guess is that this three star could be the Brownstone. Which is on Hillsborough St. near NC State. It's a very old hotel. If it is, I assure you you could get this a lot cheaper, as we got it recently for $31. I really recommend bidding on PRICELINE. I would also add that the Brownstone is not really in downtown, yet it is considered so for bidding purposes. And if you have transportation it's not far.
