This hotel is very well located for those who need to be near Duke University Hospital. The room was very comfortable and clean. There are several restaurants nearby. Breakfast is not included, but it's available for a reasonable price. I definitely recommend it. The staff was very friendly.

I stay at the AC Hotel often for medical follow ups at Duke. It’s clean, comfortable, easy walking or driving distance to the hospital with restaurants all around. The staff is courteous and helpful and there’s a full breakfast buffet and coffee downstairs in the morning. They also allow pets. I’ve tried a few other hotels in the area over the past few years and now just stay at the AC every time.

This stay was honestly an utter nightmare, The manager was very kind I will say that- but prior to arriving, we had a request and called ahead to ensure they could accommodate severe asthma and allergies (I have a rare condition called MCAS that causes idiopathic allergic reactions and a huge trigger is fragrance), so asked if the room could be fragrance free. I understand it will usually be in other areas. The room itself was so scented I had to wear a mask even sleeping. We were then informed by the manager that the air vents/HVAC has added fragrance and he turned it off- very thoughtful, just unfortunately too late. I am now in a horrible flare up and will have to be on steroids for not even sure how long. I am fully aware my allergies and condition is MY responsibility, and don’t expect places to roll out the red carpet- but I DO expect honesty. Don’t tell me “your room will not have any scent” if you don’t know that, I would’ve booked somewhere else. Absolutely insane. I was not even here for vacation, I was here for Duke health to see my specialist. My allergies and reactions are so severe I have to carry an epi on me, and it’s ridiculous that these hotels aren’t just honest. The room was so ridiculously scented that I had to use my inhaler practically every hour, not even just a little bit of scent. Just be honest next time and save people suffering, good God.
