I stay at the AC Hotel often for medical follow ups at Duke. It’s clean, comfortable, easy walking or driving distance to the hospital with restaurants all around. The staff is courteous and helpful and there’s a full breakfast buffet and coffee downstairs in the morning. They also allow pets. I’ve tried a few other hotels in the area over the past few years and now just stay at the AC every time.

There was a weird vibration that would come and go through the entire building. Happened at all times of the day. When I asked they said it may be the washing machines. Also unfortunately had to listen to an alarm beginning at 5 am for two hours in an unoccupied room next door. Otherwise, room was nice and clean and bathroom was clean.
