Unbeatable location for the price

I really really enjoyed my accomodations at the Country Inn. I went down with family for my son's graduation from Duke. In all I reserved 4 rooms. The rooms were large , clean, and comfortable. The beds sublime. I worried about bedbugs but there was no cause. Breakfasts were more than continental - Really a +. The staff was pleasant. I would have preferred all our rooms be together instead of 2 on the 4th floor and 2 on the 2nd but they said that was because I went through a 3rd party . Is's really off the beaten path, good if you want to be near the airport but a little distant from Duke's campus. The staff didn't clean our room after the first night but overall I enjoyed my stay, would definitely recommend them and would book again! It compares very favorably with previous trips I've taken.

Nice hotel, very close to airport

It's very convenient to call the hotel to send a shuttle to pick me at airport. And nice location, I could easily go to the closet outlet, and do some shopping. Hotel receptionist gave me the address, very kind.

Country Inn & Suites-second trip

The breakfasts were good with plenty of choices. The front desk helped us with transportation to the hotel from the car rental location which didn't offer to take us back to the hotel when we dropped off our car. Every employee was friendly and accommodating.

The Chop House Restaurant next door is the only dining option without a car available. The food is excellent but pricey.
