Great place to stay!
A great place to stay especially if you are receiving medical Care at Duke. The in-house shuttle service has made this our stay at place anytime we go to Duke. Exceptional customer service.

Big rooms, lighted & covered parking and near Duke
We were in Durham for a quick weekend visit of our Duke student. The hotel is just 2.5 miles from her downtown Durham apartment. The rooms are spacious. They have mini refrigerators and a microwave. The beds are very firm with good pillows and towels. We were there for one of the winter storms (2-3” of snow) and it was very nice that our car could be left in the covered parking lot (which has great night time lighting). This is my second time there. No amenities, but I’m not going to Durham for the hotel amenities. I sleep there and get ready to leave for the day there. It does have a tiny market in the lobby, which was a lifesaver for us the day of the storm when we had headed out for dinner, and then quickly realized it was getting bad to be out on the roads, so we turned around and bought frozen meals and noodle soup and had a cozy dinner in our room until the storm and snow clean up was over.

So loud. The hard floors in the hallway should be rug. Every sound makes it echo more than normal, very loud. Maybe more signs of no solicitation or phone calls on speaker in the hallways after 8 or 9pm.
