A question for the Raleigh folks

I want to go to a meeting at the Marriott Center City in Raleigh and they are already out of rooms for the nights I need. Are there nearby hotels you can recommend? Walking distance would be great. The travel sites are not always clear about where exactly things are.

All advice appreciated.

Sheraton Raleigh Hotel is very very close to the Marriot. 919 834-9900. The Oakwood Inn Bed & Breakfast is about 8 or 9 blocks from the convention center 919 832-9712.

Thank you, I'll check them out.
