Great place to stay!

A great place to stay especially if you are receiving medical Care at Duke. The in-house shuttle service has made this our stay at place anytime we go to Duke. Exceptional customer service.

Hotel itself was great. Clean spacious room with nice amenities: recliner, couch, microwave, fridge. What was NOT great was the garbage truck pickup right outside my window at 4am with the huge dumpster repeatedly banging on the truck and on the ground.
