Convenient and spacious
Front desk staff okay, but not pleasant. Room is large and comfortable. Only thing was disturbing was how dusty the lobby bench was. One side not (where someone had sat) and the other side very plainly noticeable. During our three night stay no one cleaned the surface.
Still a go to spot when in Durham.

Excellent stay. Modern new and clean and right across the street from Duke’s beautiful campus, perfect for a walk. The rooms are on the small side though.
