The breakfast was fresh and the staff were very nice. I wish there was a indoor pool. It was cold and raining, the children couldn't swim. The room was big and clean. I highly recommend it .

The Casso, Raleigh, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
The hotel was perfectly located for a night on the town. The check-in process went smoothly, and the staff all treated us well during our stay. There were no complaints about the room; it was pretty clean and mostly quiet. We enjoyed the live music during brunch before we checked out.
