Amazing stay! The Lodge at Duke Medical Center exceeded my expectations. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating from check-in to check-out. Everything was spotless and well-maintained, creating a very comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. The location couldn’t be better — just a short, easy walk to both the medical center and the academic campus. Highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting Duke!
