Sheraton Raleigh Hotel
The greatest attribute of this hotel is the mattresses. IMO, they are outstanding. The cleaning staff forgot to replenish the coffee each morning, but we just called and got some.

Understaffed for the holidays didn't stop them from being super friendly & accommodating. It was deff a lovely warm welcome back to a place I called home for awhile. Our dog was happy to meet the check in person and say goodbye. Very cozy and super close to everything we wanted to do.
