Using Google Maps to check out hotels/motels in Raleigh, NC, and...wtf?

This is a real, in business motel. I mean, good luck to them all, but yikes. The only thing missing is a thunderstorm and some masked dude with a chainsaw.

Seriously, I think I've driven by it...didn't make much of an impression!

Business or pleasure trip? we've lived in Raleigh for 21 yrs....

Two nights, one on the town, the next at the show.

What's fun to do in Raleigh, nightlife wise?

And they ought to have a Halloween event each year at the Kings Motel, lol.

(well, 57...but we are in North Raleigh - a good haul into Raleigh, esp. if having some beers)...

Glenwood Ave South area has lots of restaurants and bars....lots of smaller live music venue downtown - best thing to do is check latest copy of the Independent Weekly - http://www.indyweek.com/ - has lots of options.

Enjoy and have fun! Who are you seeing? We caught The National at Red Hat (downtown Raleigh) - superb concert - a few months ago.
