Stylish rooms have a tranquil gray color scheme with cheerful pops of yellow. Rooms with a king bed have a love seat that pulls out to a twin-size bed. Rooms with two queen beds have an easy chair. The hotel offers shuttle service weekdays during set hours to Duke University and Duke Hospital. The nicely landscaped courtyard pool provides an oasis in summer months. In cooler weather, relax in the lounge seating around a fire pit. The bistro in the modern lobby serves breakfast and light dinner fare.
Smoke free premises. 146 units. 4 stories, interior corridors. Accessibility (Call).

Pros:
Cons: During selecction, the availability of rooms seemed to be understated and the reservation was not supposed to be guaranteed but as soon as I booked, I was told it was guaranteed so I felt misled. I have stayed here before and paid a fair price so I came back but after this experience I will not stay here again.

Pros: The young lady from Rocky Mount who checked us in was a DELIGHT. Resolved a small problem with my BOOKING.COM at check-in with efficiency. All of our needs were attended to.
Loved the Juliette balcony!
Cons: Getting to other areas of town for dinner was a little complicated, but that is Durham's issue...not the hotel.

Pros: Check in was fast and easy and it was a good location from Duke University. The room was comfortable and quiet.
Cons: We booked from booking.com and prepaid for our room and was coming down for an appointment at Duke Medical Center. It was a one day appointment and we were booked for 2 nights and when we tried to get our money back we were told we had to call booking.com. Instead of dealing with the hassle, we just stayed the extra day.

Pros: Location easy to access and navigate return from sightseeing
Cons: Had purchased 2 breakfasts with the room rate. When ordering breakfast, was told I would be charged for one breakfast. Having already waited In a long line due to only one staff person, I then had to wait for the manager to check on this. Then, tired of waiting for the manager to cal the worker back, I went to the desk to inquire . Was informed we did indeed have two breakfasts. Returned to wait in line AGAIN and place order again with no apology, "glad that worked out, "etc."
