Considering the Holiday Inn Crabtree Valley in Raleigh?

Moore Square by TimDaoust
This park is located on a block in downtown Raleigh across from the historic City Market district. There are walkways and benches and great oak trees. A great place to stretch out after a meal at any of the surrounding restaurants. A little warning though, the bums find it cozy too and will most likely be there to distrub you and beg for change. Most of them are pretty nice though and shouldn't try to harm you.
The park is the year round home of the giant acorn that is the focal point of our "First Night" celebration. Read more about the acorn at my First Night tip.
