Super convenient hotel at a very reasonable price near the Duke medical complex. Spacious rooms, lots of light, and great equipment—huge TV, mini-fridge and microwave. Friendly staff. The only downside is that there is not much around except commercial buildings, and not much (restaurants, stores, whatever) within walking distance, which is a problem if you do not have a car. However, the free shuttle service to anywhere in a two-mile radius is great (weekdays only) and really helps.

This is a barebones property. It has a great location in relationship to Duke Hospital. The shuttle is definitely a plus. I can’t say enough about the shuttle drivers helpfulness. I had a room with a kitchenette, but it had no coffeemaker! The bath was tiny with a tub which is a problem for someone that is using a walker and has ambulatory issues. This facility needs serious updating and upgrading, but no complaints about the staff.

This is primarily a place to stay for friends and relatives of patients at the Duke Medical Center. Rooms are clean, and large - other than the bath, which is very small. There is a dining table for two, and a microwave, but no other amenities. It is bare bones, but priced approximately. Parking is very convenient just a few feet from the front door. Staff is nice.
