Liked that it was close to my husband's medical appointments at the VA. Wish there had been more options for breakfast, but we were able to eat at the hospital, which was fine. We'll definitely stay there again.

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????
