Hotel sort of in the middle of UNC, NC-State and Duke?

Question

We are planning on looking at those 3 colleges in Raleigh and want a hotel or town that is in the middle of all of these

Answer 1

Well Durham (Duke) is right in between Chapel Hill (UNC) and Raleigh (NCSU).  So I'd stay there.    The Marriott downtown Durham is real nice, but if you're looking for something more affordable, I'm pretty sure there are some good ones along I-40 near RTP (Research Triangle Park).
