You couldn't ask for a more helpful and courteous staff. My room was clean and very comfortable. I also enjoyed the shuttle service to Duke Medical University Hospital to visit my grandson before and after his heart surgery. I got a good room rate through Duke University for my stay. The full kitchenette allowed me to prepare my own meals.... More

I have stayed at this property many times. For the price, you can't beat it for an overnight stay. It has all of the basics. The stove, microwave, and fridge come in handy. It's located about 2 minutes from a 24hr Harris Teeter grocery. As a matter of fact, it is located in the same plaza. I have used this... More

I was moving to Durham when I stayed here. It was amazing. The staff were very nice, helpful and courteous. Rooms were not so clean but okay. The most important thing is that they have a shuttle service to Duke

I stayed for several weeks during treatment at Duke Med Center. The price was very good, negotiated through the hospital. The full kitchen allowed me to cook and save money while I was having treatment. Lots of shopping nearby, restaurants and grocery within walking distance. Friendly staff.

Excellent accomodations for the price. The Kitchenette is very helpful in reducing meal costs with travel. Staff very attentive, friendly and helpful. Duke University Medical Center in Durham, NC uses this hotel for patients, so you know it is good. Have shuttle also to the hospital. Shopping center within 1/2 mile with grocery store and several restaurants.

First off, I am a smoker. So, I got a smoking room, and of course it smelled a little smoky. But that is to be expected. Nice extended-stay room. Had big flat screen TV, a bar, kitchenette, full fridge, stove, microwave, and all kitchenware provided. You could live here, essentially. I got a great deal with my flight on Priceline.com... More

We stay at this motel at least twice a year and have always had very good service. They have a great medical rate which helps very much. We travel 200 miles each way just for doctors visits and every cent saved is a plus. The rooms are always very clean and in working order and have free Wi-Fi.
