Top Duke University Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Univ Area Chapel Hill

10/10 Excellent

"The front staff is so accommodating and quick to fix any issues with the online booking, the housekeeping does a very fantastic and thorough job every day. The rooms are spacious. The breakfast is delicious. And the property is well lit on the outside as well as plenty of security cameras, which is a nice future to have as a traveler. There’s also plenty of cameras inside the building, which is another nice and secure thing to notice."

21c Museum Hotel Durham

10/10 Excellent

"We had a Deluxe Suite. We loved having two rooms (with a great view of the American Tobacco Campus) and a spacious bathroom with a great shower. We enjoyed viewing the art throughout the hotel. The only negative to us was that we had to order ice through the front desk. We prefer having access to an ice machine to get ice at our convenience. The valet staff was friendly and always brought our vehicle promptly."

Comfort Inn & Suites Durham near Duke University

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is ALWAYS a pleasure to stay at. I wouldn’t choose anywhere else."

Millennium Hotel Durham

10/10 Excellent

"Millennium is always a wonderful choice! We are in the area several times a year and they are always our first pick."

Hilton Garden Inn Durham/University Medical Center

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent option for a hotel close to Duke Medical Center. Perfect for a short stay if traveling through Raleigh/Durham, visiting the area for work, or going to Duke Medical Hospital for any reason. About 5 minutes away from Duke Medical Center. Serves breakfast and has a lounge. Excellent dining nearby, like Parizade and JuJu -- look them up, you will not be disappointed. Updated and recently designed rooms. Fresh, consistent, always a reliable option for any discerning traveler. It's not the Ritz, but it's certainly not a low-end option. I'd choose this for a family, when traveling alone, or when traveling with a small pet. Safe. Quiet. Convenient. Clean. Nice."

Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel with great staff! Room was clean and beautiful and our dinner at the bar restaurant was excellent! Joban is a fantastic server!"

"My stay was great!"
