I had a really pleasant experience at this hotel, especially impressed by the cleanliness and the attentiveness of the staff. The location was great for visiting my family at Duke University Hospital, making it easy to get around. However, the communication with the front desk could be improved, and the dining options were somewhat basic. Overall, it's a solid choice if you're looking for a comfortable and clean stay close to the hospital.
