Most folks are local so we didn't end up booking a hotel block. Here are some recommendations for hotels near the venue.
Hotel
Red Roof PLUS+ Raleigh NCSU - Convention Center
1813 S Saunders St, Raleigh, NC 27603
For a budget option a short uber ride from the venue this is a good option
Hotel
Raleigh Marriott City Center
500 Fayetteville Street, Raleigh, NC 27601
For an option closer to downtown but still close to the venue this is a good choice.
For all the days along the way
