Top Duke University Hotel Reviews

University Inn Durham next to Duke University Medical Center

8/10 Good

"My room was clean but could hear everything in the hallway going on. Most of the staff was pleasant aside from one person at check in that seemed to be a curt. I try to give grace as who knows what she may have going on but it was two interactions like that."

21c Museum Hotel Durham

10/10 Excellent

"It was a couple date and i adore the room it was clean and well kept. I loved the decor and the museum was amazing. I also loved the food from the restaurant The only thing I didn't like was the TV It was messing up pretty bad and the room wouldn't never get cool. But When I went to the staff with my concern they was very understanding and respectful about my concerned and fix the problem right away I give them a 9/10. Even though i a little issues I will still come back. thanks again for your hospitality."

Comfort Inn & Suites Durham near Duke University

8/10 Good

"I didn’t have a lot of time, and thought the included breakfast was decent enough for my road trip. The room was very clean and quiet. I got a good nights sleep. I was tired after a long day of driving. Check-in went really fast — no problems."

Millennium Hotel Durham

8/10 Good

"Very nice and clean. Had to pay $24 for two people to eat breakfast even though it was advertised at $10 a person. I was also told when I booked the room there would be a $20 room deposit. However, I was charged $100. Other than the price discrepancies, it was a good place to stay and it was close to everything I needed during this stay."

Royal Inn

2/10 Terrible

"I booked my stay through Expedia. I arrived at the Royal Inn at 9PM and was told that there was a problem with the internet, so they were looking for my booking. Eventually the attendant took my passport and showed me to my room. At about 10PM there was a knock on my door. I was not expecting anyone and had no confidence in the area of town I was in, so I did not immediately answer. It was the same hotel attendant, who then began to pound on my door and yell at me that they could not find my booking and that I needed to leave immediately. I was perturbed and showed him my booking on my phone. I tried to remain calm but he was infuriated, which rattled me. He said I needed to leave and he was going to call the police. I decided to call the police myself. While on the phone with the police, the owner of the hotel arrived. During our conversation, I contacted Expedia, who confirmed both my booking reference and the Hotel Confirmation number, indicating that the Royal Inn should have had my booking on file, The Royal Inn claimed they did not. I am more inclined to believe Expedia than the Royal Inn. I was forced to cancel my Expedia booking and pay the hotel directly, in cash. I woke up the next morning with a large bite on my back and found a blood-filled bedbug under the covers. I have pictures and video evidence of this. It was a terrible experience and I would not recommend anyone staying here."
