We were there for a medical appt at Duke. The motel was close enough without a lot of traffic. The room was very clean. The staff was friendly, helpful and courteous. The breakfast would rival any restaurant meal. Will definitely stay again.

This hotel sits right beside a major highway so you may get a room that's quite noisy. We didn't have this problem, but it would be good to know. It's also right on the edge of a not so great part of town. We didn't have an issue, but again, good to know in advance. The first thing we noticed when we got to our room was a dirty pair of underwear in the corner under a chair - which didn't make us very confident in the cleaning of the room prior to our arrival. The room is very cramped. The walls are pretty thin so heard a lot of noise during the night. The breakfast was really bad. Two good things I can say - the beds were nice and the shower was great. I wouldn't stay here again.

We stayed at this property after a Duke basketball game. It was easy access via Uber to the game and back again afterwards. The room was nice and comfortable. The hotel was also quiet!
