Wonderful

We stayed at the property for 3 nights while moving our son into an apartment before he started grad school. The location was perfect for us right near his apartment. The staff were friendly and competent. The room was clean, well appointed, and the beds were comfortable. Great shopping/restaurants all in walking distance.
Excellent hotel. Easily accessible to Duke, and down the street from Whole Foods and other stores if you need to shop! Friendly staff, and nice little outdoor seating and indoor bar/restaurant. Overall great hotel.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
The staff was very nice and accommodating; all pleasure! Made our stay enjoyable. The shower was old and bathroom could have been a little cleaner. One of the beds squeaked anytime you moved so at night when it was really quiet it was really annoying and uncomfortable bc felt like couldn’t move . The food was really good for breakfast and dinner. We’d stay again bc overall hotel was nice and the staff was great.
