A Devil of a time.

Conference at Duke University. Room was very clean and comfortable. Sitting areas throughout the facility and a very nice lobby with lounge. Great for business, a visit or for medical appointments/family.

Stayed due to early morning surgery at Duke. Room value is acceptable. Convenient to hospital. Main complaint is the beds are extremely hard and the bedding is not quality. Lots of pillows is good. Had to layer pillows to ease the uncomfortable hardness of the bed. Bought our own throw blankets to help pad the bed. Mattress rated one star.

Liked that it was close to my husband's medical appointments at the VA. Wish there had been more options for breakfast, but we were able to eat at the hospital, which was fine. We'll definitely stay there again.

I didn’t expect to be able to check in early. I stopped by to let them know I was coming in right after work at 11:30 pm and wanted to make sure my reservation was still set but the lady at lobby said I can check in now. I was so pleasantly impressed. Peace of mind and I needed that. Thank you so much!!
