"Property was very clean but different than what we are used to when traveling. No complimentary breakfast and a fee for parking which will result in a decision not to stay at this property next time in the area. We have experienced a parking fee elsewhere but only in city areas where parking was a premium. Understandable. This property had very ample parking for plenty of cars. We just thought it was a sort of money grab for travelers. There was breakfast food available but for $19 a person. My wife and I would never come close to eating $38 worth of food in the morning."

"Clean. Overall a good stay. "

"I"

"Didn’t even stay at the hotel, booked for 1 night and it messed up. Refused to give a refund or anything. Wouldn’t stay here if my life depended on it. If someone offered me all the money in the world and told me all I had to do was stay here for 1 day, 1 night. I’d probably pass on it. That’s out of how much of a terrible experience this whole ordeal has given me"

"The room was a fun retro style with an amazing bathroom. Best towels I've had at a hotel, thankful for a much better towel than the typical sandpaper, lol. The staff was great and helpful, especially appreciated the front desk and the bell desk."

"Clean room, friendly staff and a very good breakfast!!"

"The elevators were dirty and the air conditioner was not cold as it just blew air"

"For who want to visit Duke campus, this is a good choice to stay."

"Terrible service! We chose this hotel bc it was conveniently located across the street from the hospital. The reason we needed to stay was because our father was called in for transplant. My sister and I spent the night at the hospital with our dad bc it was required for us to be there. Our mother and my nephews stayed at said hotel. Giving that we booked online we were charged for parking that was not listed at time of booking. Fortunately the day time receptionist did credit that back. Upon check out we were charged for 6 people all charged as adults, which there was only 4 (1 adult and 3 children) who stayed at the hotel (room with 2 double beds) but the night receptionist said she saw 6 adults. To access the room you have to walk in to the lobby and the receptionist obviously can’t count. We were charged extra bc a room with 2 double beds can only accommodate 2 people? Which also was not listed at time of booking. This appears to be a very old hotel but has been updated inside but if they want to keep business they should act accordingly bc we could have very well got better treatment next door to them! The staff need to be evaluated for finger counting. Apparently that skill isn’t required for the job. It’s apparent that they like to take advantage of people that are obviously staying there to be across from the hospital. Parking is $20!!! It is less than that for valet @ the hospital. Do better!"
