Hyatt Place Raleigh-Durham Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Nice stay"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Univ Area Chapel Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Loved being here. The night before we spent at the University Inn in Durham. What a dump! Noisy, brightly lit, foam bed and huge pillows that were unusable. On and no breakfast and about $30 a night more expensive. The only thing going for it was a shuttle to Duke. Far better to stay here, drive to Duke and park in a university garage"
