Decent enough. Nice staff for the most part. Non-smoking room smelled like smoke and not particularly impressive. Ok for one night.

I would definitely stay at the Hilton Garden Inn when visiting Duke University! The staff was kind, our room was upgraded to a suite, breakfast was yummy and there were dining places nearby. We were happily surprised that they offered free shuttle within a 5 mile radius and we did not bring a car!

I needed an accessible room because I had injured my knee and couldn’t walk. I was there to visit DukeMedical Center. The accessible room had an extremely heavy main door with tight tension and difficult to open. The shower was a standard shower, not accessible via wheelchair. The room was tight and would never meet accessibility standards. That said, I’ve stayed here many times. The rooms are dated but clean. I’ve stayed inna proper accessible room here and it was great…just not sure what happened this time around. Breakfast is good, but omelettes have changed from 13 dollars to 19 dollars. Yikes. Excellent dining options nearby, like Parizade, Juju, and Del Toro. Expensive but all are exceedingly great choices.

Great get away spot.

Staying overnight for a concert. Nice rooms. Only two issues one that I encounter hat most Hilton hotels is the pillows are HORRIBLE. The other was the tubs are slick. Otherwise they were very nice rooms.

Great stay

Last minute booking for weather delay. Overall, the room was nice, on the older side. I had dinner and a drink from the bar and service was great. They were slammed but still hospitable.
