Great place, don’t think twice

Great stay coming from NY as a halfway point. There was no hot water and no comps for it. Slightly disappointed as a hot shower would be nice! The room was great and so comfy. Best bed we have had in a while.

My recent stay at Courtyard Durham-Duke was delightful, exceeding all my expectations from start to finish. I can highly recommend this hotel! From the moment I arrived, the front desk agent (Sherrika Laws) was incredibly welcoming and attentive. She checked us in with a pleasant smile and demeanor, which immediately made us feel at home. Sherreka Laws was incredibly helpful with local recommendations for restaurants." My room was [describe the room positively, e.g., "spotlessly clean, spacious. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep, and all the amenities, such as a restaurant, Starbucks coffee, and Wi Fi were top-notch. If you're planning a trip to Duke University and looking for a hotel that combines comfort and outstanding hospitality, Courtyard Durham-near Duke is the perfect choice. I'm already looking forward to my next visit for Duke home games!

Overnight Only

The hotel was ok, it was is a bit dated, with worn and soiled carpet throughout and very low sitting toilets in the room. I would not want to stay for more than an overnight stay.
