I had a great stay thanks to the wonderful staff. Everyone was kind, professional, and treated me with respect. The room was clean and comfortable, and I really appreciated the hospitality
Room smelled stale and stuffy, as it it had been smoked in before. Parking area was marginal - did not feel totally comfortable walking around outside here. Location was close to a great French style bakery.
Clean, accessable to many areas and restaurants. Good value for the price.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Good news: The staff was friendly. The room was fine — not great, not bad, but fine. The hotel is a very short drive from I-85. Traveling from this hotel to Duke University, Durham’s Ninth Street neighborhood, downtown Durham and Chapel Hill is relatively simple if there is no traffic. (That’s a big if during rush hour.)
Bad news: People were hanging out in the parking lot and on the outdoor staircases at nighttime. This may make travelers with young children or single travelers uncomfortable. In a similar vein, during a pair of early-morning walks, I noticed a number of unhoused people in the nearby area.
Bottom line: I would probably not stay at this property again.
