“A Good Overnight in Durham...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 April 2013

There's not a whole lot of options along this urban stretch of I-85 through Durham. The rooms are clean, the front desk attentive, the breakfast bar accommodating. Did I mention the fridge in the room? The place to stay on your Honey Moon.........perhaps not........but if you've got business at Duke University, or going to a game there and spending the... More

“Dog friendly gem!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 April 2013

We had reservations a another hotel which turned into a disaster. Plan B can be difficult when traveling with a little dog. The Holiday Inn was a great find. Although they do charge for pets, the rooms are terrific, well appointed, and very clean. No doggie smell or overly "fabreezed" scent. Look for Gwen at the front desk. She is... More

Recently stayed here while on a trip to visit Duke University. The hotel is convenient to the University -- and the front desk was so helpful in providing some great, easy directions to get us there.

“Convenient hotel to Duke University”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 March 2013

The hotel was fairly quiet (off I-85) on Guess Road. The room was immaculate with good lighting. The bedding was just "ok." The breakfast had the usual offering, but no fruit, which was disappointing. The outstanding feature of this hotel was the front desk staff, who were very helpful in giving directions to restaurants and to Duke Hospital. - Robert
