Good place, nice folks. Built not very soundproofed and you can hear noise and others in the hall and the elevator opening and closing. I was far down the hall from the elevator and it and the vending machine echoed down the hall. Could hear the next room's TV and conversations quite loudly. Final day early morning the next property over undder my window had a garbage truck making a horrible racket tipping garbage bins and slamming them up and down into the truck around twilight. Otherwise a very decent place and clean and modern.

Liked: Cleanliness
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.

Great overall, however the desk and chair were outdated. The place was very clean and the bed was comfortable. There was traffics noise but it wasn’t too bad. I liked the quiet hours except the wall was pretty thin so you can hear people talk outside of your room or next to your room. Great location from the University. Staff people were friendly.
