The staff are so friendly, the entire hotel is spotless, the breakfast is very good. I have been here twice for Duke visits and will definitely be back. The only issue was the air in the lobby area and breakfast area is not working, hopefully it is being repaired. But it won’t keep me from returning.

4/10 Fair

The rooms were very clean tight but clean. The beds were super comfortable. The room was updated with all new outlets and furniture. The bathroom was clean and the lighting was bright. We did have an issue with the toilet not flushing but was able to fix it ourselves with opening the top part and adjusting the chain. We were disappointed because the pool was closed because someone threw up near the pool and no one cleaned it up. Which didn’t make sense. We also called the night before to make sure the pool would be open because we were traveling with 2 autistic didn’t want to set them up for disappointment. The breakfast area was very clean and a decent selection however could only get the last 3 pancakes no more with 2 more hours left. So it was enough for one kid. Things could have been better but I guess I get what I get for the price.
