The desk lamp did not work. The blinds did not go up nor down. They were frozen in place. I reported this problem when I checked in, but it was never fixed. I bought 2 hard-boiled eggs in the cafe. As soon as I stuck a fork in the egg it crumbled and water squirted out. Thankfully, the cashier gave me a refund for the eggs. On a brighter note, the bed was very comfortable.

Amazing stay! The Lodge at Duke Medical Center exceeded my expectations. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating from check-in to check-out. Everything was spotless and well-maintained, creating a very comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. The location couldn’t be better — just a short, easy walk to both the medical center and the academic campus. Highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting Duke!

Friendly staff, onsite parking at no charge, clean rooms, and a little cafe where you can grab a quick bite. No bells or whistles but exactly what we were looking for…just a place to rest our bodies after a long day out. Very reasonable pricing.
