We traveled from Philadelphia for our son’s interview at Duke. We were surprised by the overall cleanliness of the lobby, common areas and our room compared with other Residence Inn properties in Massachusetts.
The breakfast was the most comprehensive of any free hotel breakfasts we have experienced from any hotel chain. For example, there was bacon, Canadian bacon, and sausages for choice of breakfast meat. There were pancakes and a waffle maker. There many varieties of pasties. There were numerous cereal choices, all top brands. There was whole milk, 2%, soy milk, oat milk and almond milk. Decaf, regular coffee, and hot water for tea. All very cleanly displayed.
The room had a spacious and modern layout. The mattresses were firm. The kitchen was well stocked. The shower was cleverly designed, doorless and deep, with large dispensers for body wash, shampoo and conditioner.
