The lack of carpeting in rooms and hallways made every sound travel--there was noise all night long. The outside of the hotel's appearance was terrible, it looked as though it was under construction. The sheets were rough and scratchy.

Photos on hotels.com ARE NOTHING LIKE REALITY. Room reeked of mold, water stains all over the property - obviously why there were no exterior photos on the site. TV, AC and lighting in room were poor. Coffee machine didn’t work. Paper thin walls, can hear TV in rooms next door and every conversation in the hallway. Bed very comfy, pillows good.

The property overall was great. The bathrooms are very small and definitely only one person at a time. The beds are FIRM!!! I mean FIRM FIRM! So if you need something with more give to sleep, I’d probably look elsewhere. I was only there for one night so it wasn’t a deal breaker but there’s no way I could’ve stayed there for any longer with as hard as the beds are. Overall 7/10 for me because of the small bathroom and hard bed.

The staff at the Lodge were unbelievable perfect. They all understood we were not on vacation or a business trip. As this hotel is only a block from Duke University Hospital, they knew a lot of folks were experiencing personal struggles. The staff made the hotel experience as struggle free as possible, greeting guests with smiles. They managed our reservations with ease as our plans continued to change. The front desk staff, cleaning/maintenance, and the barista were all amazing!

The reason for my average rating was the over powering smell of musty/mold in the room. I did notice an outside water leak going down the window and dripping on the side of the building. The staff was polite and helpful. I need to give an A rating to Harry the shuttle driver. He was a highlight to my day.

A little getaway
Everything was great. The beds weren’t the most comfortable. But they were better than most places I’ve stayed at in the past. And the moisture in the room was kinda bad. The floors stayed a little slick and my wife’s book she had curled bad due to the moisture. But for the price and proximity to the DBAP. It was perfect. And out of all the hotels I’ve ever stayed at. This place has the best staff. I definitely would stay there again.

Property and staff were fine. Upon arrival the Expedia reservation was not showing in the hotels computer. We contacted Expedia who said they were calling the hotel however that never happened. We ended up asking for a refund from Expedia.
