Clean, modern hotel close to Duke University. The bar serves a small but nice variety of food until 10 pm, which was convenient. Only complaint is the lack of insulation in the floors. It sounded like an elephant was getting ready on the floor above me from about 7:00-8:00 am. It was so loud it woke me up and I couldn’t go back to sleep, so I lost an hour of sleep. Otherwise, a very pleasant stay.
