Very clean and all efficient place to stay at. All I can suggest is to go more vegan and allow the customer service reps to pick the music played just to make it more fun for them. Everything else is pretty solid.

I was offered the chance to waive housekeeping during my stay when I checked in online - which I did. But housekeeping cleaned my room every single day anyway. Comfortable, clean, convenient to Duke campus and Hospital. Sleep disrupted by footfalls of person in room above me. Wished for better insulation between floors!

I loved your hotel, it's location, it's ambiance there were a few minor adjustments I would like to see. One is a magnifying mirror in the bathroom. The other is I ordered a Caesar salad to go from the bar and it was served in a cardboard box with the dressing leaking through the bottom. A plastic container would have served much better. Other than that perfect stay with comfortable beds and great bathrooms!!!

Durham Cozy Stay

Great stay!! Put us in the middle of everything. Room was comfortable and cozy!! Only improvement I noticed was the wallpaper could have been applied better. Not a deal breaker but, could be a quirk for some.

Although the parking garage attached to the property didn't have many spots they do have options right beside the property to ensure you don't have to walk far. We had an amazing time here and the staff were wonderful too. I will definitely be staying here again soon!
