This place needs overall renovation. There is no phone service. The numbering of rooms makes no sense. I had a double bed reservation and was given a single bed. The place does not look clean in the lobby or elsewhere. The repairs done to the rooms are quiet visible when a customer should not be able to tell there was repairs. It looked like a dump. I stayed with them because it was one of the closer rooms to Duke. I won't be staying with them again. Oh on your website they have smoking and non-smoking rooms. Yet when you sign in they tell the smokers they will be charged $250 per incident. I don't smoke and did not want a non-smoking room but you can see that form was incompetence, if not illegal.
