We were there for a medical appt at Duke. The motel was close enough without a lot of traffic. The room was very clean. The staff was friendly, helpful and courteous. The breakfast would rival any restaurant meal. Will definitely stay again.

We stayed at this property after a Duke basketball game. It was easy access via Uber to the game and back again afterwards. The room was nice and comfortable. The hotel was also quiet!
