Really, the thing that made this trip decent for me as I was sick and received not great news at Duke so we stayed the night on Friday night (3/7/2025) to Saturday (3/8) and the staff that evening was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ❤️ I have stayed in a lot of hotels and hospitals the past two years and I have been treated not so great at many of them, but here, you hired amazing staff and I don’t ever write reviews ever. I just wanted to acknowledge that they made by weekend better by being kind and empathetic and treating me and my mother like humans. Amazing place and from now on when I go to Duke this will be my go to place to stay for sure!!! Thank you for making my day a little brighter ❤️

No room for us

We arrived to find out there was no record of our reservation even though I showed them the reservation and reservation number. They were “sold out”, hum!!!! I guess either they could get a higher rate than they booked us at 3 weeks prior to arrival or Hotels.com didn’t do their job. Regardless, we didn’t have a room and no suggestions were offered. What’s the point of a reservation????

I would stay here again

Our room was relatively clean. The bathroom toilet gurgled all night. There was no hot water at the sink. Lighting was odd. The lights and lamps didn't seem to light tje room, just small areas that didn't need light. The construction going on on the roof made parking very inconvenient at best. The bed frame was terrible. The way it stuck out all the way around caused me to beat my shins up constantly. On the other hand, the staff was great! Terrance was especially helpful. He was polite, pleasant, and professional. I spoke with the manager and she was very receptive to my concerns regarding the water situation as well as my compliments to the staff.

We were allowed to check in early on game day. Walking distance was short to Cameron Stadium, the campus and chapel. Comfortable hotel.

Location relative to Duke hospital was fantastic, room was great and staff were very nice and professional. In-house food availability is limited but there are decent nearby dining options. It’s perfect if your destination is Duke hospital or eye center.
