3 of 5 drawers off track & stuck. "Extras" solicited included bid to upgrade at a charge for parking, late checkout, early checkin. 1/4 roll of toilet paper in room for the 3-day stay (had to request rm servicing, towels, etc. if you wanted them). Bar closed before published time, while breakfast stopped replenishing food before its time. All in all, what has been a pleasure in numerous past visits became a $$-focused, not customer-focused experience.

Great location! You can walk to great restaurants and coffee shops. The room is clean and spacious. The bed is very comfortable and it felt like a nice treat at the end of long day. The staff is very friendly, specially Tiffani and Laura at the reception desk. They were very helpful and welcoming, always greeting you with a big smile and making sure we were doing fine. I will definitely stay there on my next visit.

Wasteful shower design

The room was clean and comfortable and the gym was good. However, I gave the hotel 3 stars because the shower lets out so much water that it is actually wasting water. There's no door for the shower, so when you bathe, the water streams out of the shower and onto the bathroom floor. So much water streams out that I had to place the bathmat 12 inches away from the shower entrance so that it wouldn't get wet.

Good place to stay ...convenient to walk to Duke

The check in was super nice. The air conditioner was making a lot of noise - a racket. We had to complain multiple times. But they did respond 🙄 after the third vociferous complaint and replaced compressor. Friendly maintainence team , Barry the maintainence executive brought in a lot of smiles with his attitude.

It smelled musky and like urine in our room and much of the facility just smelled like cleaning supplies. The wifi wasn’t great in the room. The location is decently close to Duke, but the immediate area is at a street intersection right by a gas station. There was plenty of parking for pay by mobile 15$.
