Big rooms, lighted & covered parking and near Duke
We were in Durham for a quick weekend visit of our Duke student. The hotel is just 2.5 miles from her downtown Durham apartment. The rooms are spacious. They have mini refrigerators and a microwave. The beds are very firm with good pillows and towels. We were there for one of the winter storms (2-3” of snow) and it was very nice that our car could be left in the covered parking lot (which has great night time lighting). This is my second time there. No amenities, but I’m not going to Durham for the hotel amenities. I sleep there and get ready to leave for the day there. It does have a tiny market in the lobby, which was a lifesaver for us the day of the storm when we had headed out for dinner, and then quickly realized it was getting bad to be out on the roads, so we turned around and bought frozen meals and noodle soup and had a cozy dinner in our room until the storm and snow clean up was over.

The hotel is literally right next to the hospital and the Duke campus is a short walk. When you enter the room there is a tiny room to the right with the toilet and the tub. To the right there is a larger room with the mirror and sink and a place to hang clothes. As you continue into the room it is huge. It must be like 20x20. There were two beds, a couch, an easy chair, a table and chairs , and like a wet bar with sink, microwave, and refrigerator, and a TV. And there was room between all these things. Room to dance if that is your thing. The walk to the football stadium was very doable. Staff were all personable and helpful. All in all, my go to place if I come back to Duke for another football game.

We chose it becase it was close to Duke hospital. But the room smelled like a men's locker room.
