Good location. Fair room for the inexpensive cost. Room was clean and air conditioning great but very basic.

The qualities of a lodging you may be most interested to learn include comfort, noise, water pressure, proximity to sites, parking, and cleanliness. The comfort of the rooms and beds are similar to a 5 star hotel. You may hear speaking in rooms adjacent to the one you stay in as well as noise from the TV, but if you are not disturbed by background noise, then it would not be an issue. The water pressure is fierce, but not overwhelming, which means showering is relaxing. The hotel is on the Duke University campus and within walkin distance to the hospital, academic buildings, atheltic sites, and theaters. Parking is included with the hotel room and it is located on the same level as the lobby of the hotel. If you prefer to park your car in a deck, then you can for a fee at the deck across the street from the hotel. And the staff is courteous and the rooms are immaculate. For the money, you will not find a better situation.
