    convenient location
    spacious fold-out couch

    Target audience for convenience seekers

    Location was convenient off I-85 and walking distance from restaurants. The fold-out couch was a hit with my 2-year-old, being plenty of room to spread out.

    It wasn't exactly cheap but still acceptable for what we got.

    fire pit
    noise disturbances
    outdated furnishings

    fire pit in courtyard, convenience of nearby dining, on-site bistro

    Noise from the interstate was a constant bother during my stay!!! Outdated room furnishings gave the place a dreary vibe!!! The HVAC system struggled to maintain a comfortable temperature at night!!!

    convenient location
    practical amenities
    worn bedding
    used linens
    limited breakfast

    Convenient location near I-85 and various restaurants within walking distance enhanced the experience. The shared microwave in the hallway was practical and appreciated, especially with a toddler. Despite clean accommodations, the bed was uncomfortably worn, lacking in freshness, and the linens showed signs of usage. Limited breakfast options also left a lot to be desired.

    great group atmosphere
    convenient location
    chaotic breakfast area

    Had a great time with friends at this hotel! We hit the golf course nearby and enjoyed visiting a couple of local breweries. The rooms were clean, and the overall vibe was fantastic for our group. Just keep in mind the breakfast can get busy, so it might be worth it to grab it early.

    One downside was that the breakfast area was really chaotic. we ended up skipping it after waiting in line for too long.

    great location but breakfast options need improvement

    The location was convenient off the highway, making it easy to access local attractions. The fold-out couch was perfect for my toddler and provided extra comfort. I appreciated the shared microwave in the hallway, which made it easy to heat up snacks. The staff were friendly and ensured our stay was pleasant.

    The breakfast options lacked variety and could use some creativity.

    immaculate room
    nice pool
    sun terrace
    rushed front desk

    I stayed in a King Room with Sofa Bed and loved that the room was immaculate and just a quick walk to my event. The pool was a nice way to unwind and I enjoyed relaxing on the sun terrace too. Just a heads up, the front desk was a bit rushed, but it didn't ruin my overall stay. 😊

    I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The staff were super cute, and the location was perfect for my trip to duke. The room, a king room sofa bed, exceeded my expectations with its cleanliness and comfort.

    the breakfast options were too limited.

    great walking paths

    perfect base for exploring durham's attractions and parks

    I stayed here for one night and found it to be a great spot to eat at nearby restaurants like the fantastic Italian place right next door while also being just a stone's throw from the lovely Sarah P. Duke Gardens and a short walk to the lively downtown area, making all my city strolls so enjoyable and convenient.
